Following the Iron Ore Trail: Towards a Global Epistemology of Extractive Capital
A fully funded studentship awarded by the Economic and Social Research Council (ESRC) South Coast Doctoral Training Partnership (SCDTP) commencing in 2021/22 Academic Year.
Under the project titled “Following the Iron Ore Trail: Towards a Global Epistemology of Extractive Capital” we are looking for an open-minded and highly skilled PhD student who is familiar with multi-disciplinary theoretical and methodological approaches. This study aims to examine the nature of global trading of iron ore by focusing on the global South. The recruited student must be ready to explore archival data, survey and interview various local and global actors, and identify legal and financial limitations in iron ore mining and trading, from which a robust framework to address the climate change crisis can be constructed.
