The Sociology Department at Lancaster University is offering a three year, fully funded ESRC North West Social Science Doctoral Training Partnership (NWSSDTP) CASE PhD studentship in collaboration with Hongkongers in Britain.
This PhD centres on the experiences of young Hong Kongers newly arriving in the UK. Empirical research with Hong Kongers newly arriving in the UK is necessarily at an incipient stage and has yet to focus exclusively on young Hong Kongers, for whom routes to migration and settlement are, because of their age, inherently more complicated and, as they are within the age group more likely to have been involved in pro-democracy movements, more politically charged.
It is organised around the following research questions:
This PhD study will adopt a mixed methods approach to map how young Hong Kongers are arriving and settling in the UK through statistical analysis and new survey data; design and deliver in-depth qualitative research with non-academic partner organisation Hongkongers in Britain to document the experiences of migration and settlement among young Hong Kongers newly migrating to the UK, and provide research evidence that can be used within advocacy for migrant rights.
The PhD will be jointly supervised by Professor Michaela Benson (Department of Sociology), Dr Ala Sirriyeh (Department of Sociology), Dr Eva Li (Department of Sociology) and Simon Cheng, (Hongkongers in Britain).
