Eligibility
The successful applicant must have completed a two-year master's degree. Candidates must be near-fluent in written and spoken academic English.
Description
The Department of English, Germanic and Romance studies at the University of Copenhagen invites applications for one PhD scholarship (focus on history and/or literature, and mental health), starting on April 1, 2022. The student will join the project "Covid-19 and global mental health: The importance of cultural contexts." This project will explore critically the emerging literature and debates about global mental health effects of the Covid-19 pandemic and related social isolation and economic downturn. It will examine how cultural and social difference is constructed and worked into the current mental health research.
This is a collaborative project, and the PhD student will be a core member of a research team. The candidate will be expected to conduct original research in medical/psychiatric and historical archives and institutions, and to produce a doctoral dissertation focused on analyzing both clinical and non-clinical narratives and discussions of mental health and Covid-19 in Nigeria and Western Africa.
