The Opportunity
This PhD scholarship is funded as an important part of an ARC funded project, “Addressing long-term climate displacement in Australia”, conducted by Dr Colette Mortreux from the School of Social Sciences.
The project will focus on the lived experience and impacts of displacement linked to a community impacted by climate-related disaster. Using primarily qualitative methods, the project will explore how displacement has impacted the wellbeing, financial security, and social participation of affected populations. It will involve a comprehensive analysis of how these impacts intersect with policy and institutional practices with the view to identifying opportunities to improve how Australia manages climate displacement into the future. The details of the PhD project are open to negotiation, noting that the successful applicant will contribute to the wider project but also undertake their own distinct PhD project.
