The Department of Modern Languages and Cultures (Faculty of Arts) and the Department of Metaphysics and Philosophical Anthropology (Faculty of Philosophy, Theology and Religious Studies) at Radboud University are jointly looking for a PhD candidate in the interdisciplinary Environmental Humanities project 'Affectivity in the Anthropocene'. This project is funded by the Christine Mohrmann Foundation at Radboud University to support research initiated by Professor Dr Marjolein Oele, Professor of Philosophy of the Humanities. It is organised around the concept of affectivity (Greek: pathos), which has been crucial to theorising ancient Greek notions of undergoing, suffering, emotion, illness, and qualitative change. In the 20th and 21st centuries, notions of affect and affectivity are at the forefront of research in continental philosophy (e.g. Heidegger, Henry, Irigaray) and affect theory more broadly (e.g. Ahmed, Berlant). The prominence of these concepts is such that scholars even speak of an "affective turn" in the humanities (e.g. Clough and Halley). The specific aim of Affectivity in the Anthropocene is to provide in-depth philosophical reflections on the predominant human and non-human affects that are related to climate change and the Anthropocene. The methodological basis of the research project is philosophical, but the project also has interdisciplinary aspects in aiming to involve texts and artworks from the humanities more broadly (literature, art, digital media, film, etc.). Using authors from both philosophy and the wider environmental humanities, it is the project's aim to distinguish, among other things, the relevance of affects in times of ecological destruction, and to investigate the temporality of affects (short-term versus long-term), ethical and political aspects of affects (e.g. in terms of compassion, grief and trust), the co-emergence of affects (between human and non-human living beings) and individual versus communal affects. As a PhD candidate, you will conduct research on the theoretical foundations of the meaning of human and non-human affects. You will investigate both (historical and continental) philosophical theories as well as artworks, literature and media that are part of the environmental humanities to theorise significant affects that relate to the Anthropocene. You will be asked to provide a brief research proposal including a research question and a description of how your proposed research will fit within the Affectivity in the Anthropocene project. As a PhD candidate at the Radboud Institute for Culture & History (RICH), you will be part of the Graduate School for the Humanities. Up to 75% of your time will be devoted to the research for and writing of your PhD thesis. The remaining 25% will be spent on training and academic service to the Faculty of Arts, including teaching and editorial assistance for the journal Environmental Philosophy. Given the interdisciplinary nature of this position, you will also be embedded in the Faculty of Philosophy, Theology and Religious Studies, for instance by participating in activities organised by the Centre for Contemporary European Philosophy (CCEP), or by engaging in service and/or teaching activities. You will be expected to write your PhD thesis in English.Requirements: You hold an MA degree in Philosophy or Cultural Theory or in a closely related discipline with a solid basis in Philosophy or Cultural Theory.You are able to conduct independent academic research and work in a collaborative research environment.You are results-oriented, have a good command of English and good writing skills.You are willing to perform teaching and service duties.You have a good knowledge of both the history of philosophy, 20th-century Continental philosophy and/or Cultural Theory and demonstrable interdisciplinary interests in extending this project towards the environmental humanities more broadly. Familiarity with the project's subject area is preferable.Salary Benefits: We will give you a temporary employment contract (0.8 FTE 5- year contract- 1.0 FTE 4- year contract) of 1,5 years, after which your performance will be evaluated. If the evaluation is positive, your contract will be extended by 2.5 years (4-year contract) or 3.5 years (5-year contract).You will receive a starting salary of €2,770 gross per month based on a 38-hour working week, which will increase to €3,539 from the fourth year onwards (salary scale P).You will receive an 8% holiday allowance and an 8,3% end-of-year bonus.You will be able to use our Dual Career and Family Support Service.

We are seeking self-motivated applicants for a four-year, fully-funded PhD position focusing on the Western and traditional legal systems regulating the subsistence harvesting of Northern animals (e.g., seals, walruses, whales, caribou, fish, birds and others) by Arctic Indigenous peoples, with a focus on Inuit of Nunavut, Inuit Nunangat (the traditional Inuit territories of what is now Canada). For many Inuit, hunting is not only a cornerstone of their cultural identity, but a vital stopgap to household food insecurity. Prior to the implementation of hunting regulations by non-Inuit policymakers and regulators – almost all of which are informed by Western-scientific determinations of species abundance and/or environmental health – most Arctic Indigenous hunters maintained food sovereignty and sustainability through dynamic customary systems based on whole-ecosystem perspectives and myriad cosmological considerations relating to human/nonhuman-animal relationships. Today, many hunters adhere to both systems – non-Indigenous and traditional – while increasingly facing practical challenges of hunting in regions disproportionately affected by climate change.With the goal of better understanding often-divergent legal/regulatory structures of conservation affecting Arctic Indigenous peoples, the successful candidate will be expected to• compile, synthesize and analyze both Indigenous and non-Indigenous animal-ĥarvesting regulations – both codified and customary – across the circumpolar Arctic• identify traditional rules and practices to prevent overharvesting, the extent to which these rules and practices have been challenged by commercialisation, and the extent to which these rules and practices have been acknowledged or integrated into Western regulations.This will require the researcher to design and carry out semi-structured, open-ended interviews with Inuit subsistence hunters, other traditional knowledge-holders, conservation biologists, and regulators in Nunavut, elsewhere in Canada, and in Europe.This work will comprise “Maligaq (ᒪᓕᒐᖅ)” (North Baffin Inuktitut for ‘A law/rule to be followed’), a sub-project of TRACES (Tracking Resilience in Arctic Sociocultural-Ecological Systems), a multidisciplinary research project, funded by the European Research Council, documenting and contextualizing long-term human-animal/human-environment relationships across the ecologically-rich Foxe Basin of central Nunavut.The researcher will be based at the Arctic Centre (est. 1970), part of the Groningen Institute of Archaeology (GIA), and will be supervised by TRACES principal investigator Dr. Sean Desjardins, an anthropological archaeologist, and Prof. Kees Bastmeijer, a renowned expert in Polar Law and Director of the Arctic Centre.

You are invited to apply for a PhD position on the cultural histories of Palestine solidarity and cultural activism in Europe. This position is funded by a Starting Grant from the Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences, Maastricht University. The grant holder, lead supervisor, and co-promoter for this PhD position is dr. Faisal Hamadah and the promoter is prof. dr. Eliza Steinbock. Research project Since Israel began its most recent onslaught on Gaza in October 2023, there has been a mass global social mobilization in support of Palestinian autonomy, freedom and liberation. This movement is particularly noticeable in Europe, where public opinion and action has been in strong contrast to institutional and political positions taken by universities, governments and most public bodies. This social mobilization is particularly striking in the intersectional nature of its social makeup, its creative use of social media and direct action, and in its consistency. While seemingly unprecedented, this social movement did not emerge in a vacuum. Since the moment of formal decolonization and the Third World independence struggles of the post-war period, the question of Palestine has been a central node in transnational solidarity. Artists, scholars, and activists have turned to Palestine and the struggles of Palestinian people as both a lodestar for transnational solidarity and as an inspiration for progressive struggle and demands for freedom, justice, liberation and democracy. These networks have relied on a variety of forms of solidarity and struggle ranging from calls for boycott, divestment and sanctions, to direct action against Israeli weapons manufacturers, to cultural activism that has aimed to amplify Palestinian voices in the European public sphere and demonstrate the creativity and diversity of Palestinian cultural production. This PhD project will investigate, through a postcolonial and transnational lens, the forms of Palestine solidarity in Europe in the modern era. The project can include, but is not limited to, researching the networks of Palestine solidarity in Europe in one or more of the following ways: The development of the boycott, divestment and sanctions (BDS) campaign as an organized demand in EuropeThe instantiation of Palestine Studies as a field within European universitiesThe historical roots of transnational networks of Palestine solidarity activismDevelopment of diverse forms of cultural activism (films festivals, music festivals)Organizational cultures of the protest movementThe rise of social media (Twitter, Instagram, Facebook, telegram etc.) as key mediums in developing transnational solidarityThe role of diasporic Muslim and/or Arab communities in Palestine solidarityTransnational networks of Palestinian migration to EuropeCrossovers between Palestine solidarity and other forms of cultural activism (Black Lives Matter, LGBTQ+ activism, other forms of decolonial activism)Other infrastructures, institutions, and cultural forms of solidarity and struggle In retrieving these historical roots for the cultures of Palestine solidarity in Europe, the project will offer a cartography of progressive activism and international solidarity.
