3 Years PhD Studentship in Workplace Learning at Oxford Brookes University, UK

/ April 12, 2011 Leave a Comment

The full-time studentship, which includes an element for teaching will be for 3 years, subject to satisfactory progress. Starting bursary will be £20,000 pa plus student fees. Socio-cultural perspectives on learning emphasise the social, relational and situated processes by which individuals become accomplished practitioners. Becoming a manager, nurse, plumber, airline pilot etc. is not simply a matter of being ‘taught’ in a formal sense: identity-development and participation within networks and communities of practice are also important. Although socio-cultural perspectives have permeated academic research on learning in the past 15 years, much of the research has been uncritical: assuming that communities are idyllic (Reynolds, 2000), but neglecting the ‘dark side’ of communities (Lave & Wenger, 1991) whereby newcomers’ access to learning opportunities are blocked by oldtimers for political, economic or other reasons.
PhD applications are invited on the topic of workplace learning. The proposed PhD research could take a number of directions such as (but not limited to) the role of identity-development in learning; the politics of workplace learning; and the nature of ‘participation’. Research contexts might include business, the public sector, or not-fo profit organisations. ‘Learners’ might be of any age ranging from young apprentices to mature workers transitioning to new roles and opportunities.

For emerging economies, sustainable tourism development presents opportunities for poverty alleviation, economic growth, the maintenance of distinctive cultures and the protection of natural habitats.  However, the success of destinations is dependent on understanding and utlising models of best practice in areas such as policy formation, governance and product development.  This PhD research should focus on the creation of operating environments conducive to sustainable tourism development.  Accepting the significance of contextual influences, the research could relate to strategies appropriate to particular local, regional or national destinations.  Whilst this is not an exhaustive list, possible themes for research proposals include, Effective policy formation and implementation, Social entrepreneurship, Community engagement, Cultural authenticity, Destination management Whilst the University is keen to support research that is applied to geographical areas in which it is undertaking development work, such as Transylvania in Romania, it equally welcomes proposals from applicants who wish to apply their knowledge to any other geographical locations.  Applicants should have a good Honours degree and in addition a good Master’s degree at merit level and above that includes a thesis component.
