PhD Research Projects

There are currently over 33 PhD students affiliated to the Social and Cultural Geography Group, one of the largest group of doctoral students in social and cultural geography in the UK. Financially, the majority of 'home' (UK and EU) students receive support from the UK research councils, specifically ESRC awards (1+3, +3, CASE, and ESRC-NERC awards are all currently held) and AHRC awards (from whom Doctoral and Collaborative awards are currently held). Overseas students may be supported from a variety of sources including ORS funding, home country funding bodies, and Royal Holloway studentships. A list of the Group's PhD students' topics is provided in the linked pages below.

In order to support the work of PhD students the Group organises a fortnightly series of seminar-workshops (landscape surgery) in Royal Holloway's house in Bedford Square, Bloomsbury, Central London. In addition, the Group's PhD students regularly organise conference sessions at the annual conferences of the AAG and RGS-IBG. In 2006, the Group's postgraduates gained an AHRC grant to organise and host an interdisciplinary, postgraduate conference on ‘researching cultural spaces’.
