ARC scholarship

Western Sydney University professor Corrinne Sullivan is advertising one to two PhD scholarship opportunities on an ARC-funded project titled “Indigenous/Pasifika LGBTIQ+ wellbeing & the role of rights-based practices in Australia and Aotearoa”.

The project is centered on queer Indigenous/Pasifika intersectional experiences, perspectives, practices, and understandings of wellbeing across complex environments within diaspora communities in Australia and/or Aotearoa. Suggested research directions include belonging and connection, culture and queer identities, health, wellbeing and healing, communities in the diaspora, movement/displacement/migration, creative and artistic expression, community and kinship, environmental and place-based wellbeing, human rights, religion, and education.

The opportunity is especially aimed at Indigenous/Pasifika peoples from across Oceania, and the scholarships are open only to domestic students (Australian and New Zealand citizens only). This is a PhD-level scholarship opportunity rather than a postdoctoral or master’s opening.

Funding is described as a scholarship attached to an ARC-funded project, but the post does not specify stipend amount, tuition coverage, or duration. Interested applicants should contact Corrinne Sullivan at [email protected] for more details and to discuss fit with the project.
