[csaa-forum] ICS Scholarship Opportunity: ‘New Chinese Migrants and Everyday Citizenship in Sydney Suburbs’ PhD Scholarship

[Elise Blight]

Applications open for ‘New Chinese Migrants and Everyday Citizenship in Sydney Suburbs’ PhD Scholarship

Scholarship code: 2021_007_ICS

About the Project

The Institute for Culture and Society (ICS)<https://www.westernsydney.edu.au/ics> is a research institute within Western Sydney University. ICS is a leading Institute nationally researching transformations in culture and society in the context of contemporary global change.

We are now offering a research scholarship to a highly motivated PhD candidate to work within a research team on the project 'Civic Sinoburbia? New Chinese Migrants and Everyday Citizenship'. The project is funded through the Australian Research Council.

The Sinoburbia Project examines everyday, local civic participation in three Sydney suburbs with a high proportion of China-born residents. It focuses on how new Chinese migrants participate in everyday civic spaces in Sydney’s suburbs, assessing the barriers and opportunities they face and examines how local organisations representing everyday civic spaces (e.g. schools, libraries, sports clubs, churches, cultural venues, care facilities and community centres) across different domains of suburban civic life are adapting to and being transformed by the presence and participation of new Chinese migrants.

The PhD project will be based at ICS with the opportunity to work with ICS-based supervisors, Associate Professor Shanthi Robertson and Professors Ien Ang and Megan Watkins on any social or cultural analysis of the local impacts of Chinese migration in Sydney’s suburbs.
