On Tuesday I gave 10 examples of taxpayer-funded studies to show how Cambridge University has lost the plot.
Today I’ve got even more examples (two are taxpayer-funded; others are unnamed or funded through trusts, including the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation), this time from Cambridge’s Centre for Gender Studies – which is as woke as it sounds. Below are 10 PhDs from the Centre, all but one currently taking place.
Do let me know in the comments if you know what any of the following means:
Legal Mobilization by Black Lesbian, Bisexual and Queer (LBQ) Womxn in Kenya and South Africa
Funding Source: Gaitho is a “Gates International Scholar” – meaning the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation subsidises her critical studies.
Funding Source: Also a Gates Scholar.
Codes of Life, Codes of Death: Tracing the (Im)possibility of Trans Lives in Algorithmic Assemblages
Funding Source: Cambridge Trust International Scholar.
Queer Cultural Memory in Literature, Film and Television since 1999
Funding Source: Taxpayer-funded via the Arts and Humanities Research Centre.
Funding Source: Taxpayer-funded via the Economic and Social Research Council.
The Sexually Sociological: Gay Masculinity, Intimacy and the (Un)queer State
Previous PhD students have touched on similar areas, such as:
Gendered bodies: institutions, sex binarism, and the experiences of gender minority youth within health and education systems
I’m thinking of submitting my own thesis: Gendered Fannies: Deconstructing the queerness of gynaecological discourse around patatas bravas (because I fancy a trip abroad).
What do you think?
