The studentship is open to EU citizens with a masters degree in a social sciences or humanities discipline, ideally with proven research interest in the wider field of critical tourism studies. The studentship consists of an annual £12,300 and a tuition fee waiver. Non-EU citizens may apply, but would have to cover a reduced tuition fee of £ 5,300 per year. Successful candidates should not start later than 1 July 2007. 'Waste' is one of the markers of tourism/tourists. As such it travels and appears within different social and cultural settings; sometimes challenging localised hygienic systems and values while other times being accommodated and transformed. We are interested in the changing status of waste/rubbish within the scope of tourism and travel and the ways in which it shapes tourist landscapes, tourism practices, host-guest relations, hospitality and ways to deal with the stranger, etc. The successful candidate would be expected to develop and conduct his or her own research agenda and actively contribute to the CTCCs dynamic interdisciplinary research environment (with currently around 20 full-time staff and PhD researchers). We welcome all proposals that fit within the broad spectrum outlined above. Possible research themes which could be studied during this fellowship include: Contested conceptions of waste in the tourism contact zone Rubbish communities and the materiality of tourism waste The aesthetics of wastelands/-landscapes Contagious strangers: distance, power, purity and danger in host-tourist relationships Getting wasted: tourism and late-modern spoliation rites Inherited waste: the ethics of colonial collections and other relics of the past For further information or an informal dialogue, please contact Dr David Picard during office hours ([EMAIL PROTECTED] 0113 2832600-ext. 29021).
