Queen Mary University of London has announced a new Doctoral Scholarship Programme, supported by the Leverhulme Trust, beginning in 2018 and worth £1,050,000.
The London Leverhulme Trust Doctoral Scholarships (QMUL-LTDS) programme provides for 21 new, fully-funded PhD research projects, which will run from 2018 to 2023. The projects are open to prospective researchers who are interested in the theme of ‘mobile people: mobility as a way of life’.
The programme is directed by Professor Engin Isin and Professor Kimberley Hutchings in The School of Politics and International Relations collaboration with other Schools in the Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences. Its focus is the impact of mobility on social and political institutions.

The organisation of the programme is guided by the principle that institutions such as citizenship democracy, nationality, and security are undergoing profound transformations.
The programme is organised according to thematic priorities which reflect established expertise at Queen Mary. The themes are:
