Two fully funded PhD positions in the critical humanities and social sciences.
The positions are part of POESIS: Power, Knowledge, and Servitude at Sea, a new research group funded by the University of Bonn’s Cluster of Excellence and the Bonn Center for Dependency and Slavery Studies (BCDSS), and based at the German Institute of Development and Sustainability (IDOS).
The two PhD researchers will join me in Bonn to help shape this project, while working across two core themes:
