UNIVERSITY OF PRETORIA FACULTY OF HUMANITIES
THE HUMAN ECONOMY PROJECT: SCHOLARSHIPS FOR FULL-TIME DOCTORAL STUDY
The interdisciplinary Human Economy Project in the Faculty of
Humanities at the University of Pretoria is offering a number of
scholarships for
full-time doctoral study, starting in 2012.
In order to be considered for a Human Economy scholarship, candidates must
- Qualify to register for a doctoral degree in an appropriate
discipline in the faculty.
- Have obtained excellent results in their prior studies
- Intend, or be willing, to undertake research of relevance to the
Human Economy project
The University of Pretoria's Human Economy project is part of a
network of international scholars engaged in researching the
possibility of alternatives to the models by which economies were
organised in the 20th century. The point of departure is that the main
20th century models –
state socialism and the free market – have left the early 21st century
world in a condition of massive inequality and limited freedom.
Do we need new abstract models or more information about what people
in different parts of the world actually do to insert themselves into
the existing, unequal economy? What motives and ambitions sustain
their endeavours? How may their efforts be given greater recognition
and reward?
How can we conceive of a more human economy?
These questions are of potential relevance and significance to
students in disciplines such as History, Geography, Political Science,
Sociology,
Social Anthropology, Development Studies, Philosophy and Literature.
The Human Economy project has drawn a significant number of
Postdoctoral Fellows in various disciplines from around the world to
the University of Pretoria. Doctoral students associated with the
project will have the opportunity to work closely with these
Postdoctoral Fellows as well as to
benefit from the project's international links.
The value of the Human Economy doctoral scholarships is R120 000 per
annum, to include research funds, for a maximum of three years.
Applications are invited from around the world, but special
consideration will be given to applicants from the African continent.
The ability to speak and write fluent English is a strong requirement.
Applicants should, ideally, be in a position to commence study at the
University of Pretoria
by July 2012.
Closing date for applications: 16 April 2012.
