Doing a PhD at RHEA?
Are you passionate about research? Do you feel like delving into a particular topic for some years and develop original research that can contribute to theoretical and societal debates? Are you interested in examining how systems of inequality and exclusion are shaped along and across different lines of identity and social categorization, how these impact upon individual experiences, are (re)produced in institutions and policies and how this might possibly be overcome? Then doing a PhD at RHEA might be the thing for you!
Below, you will find a selection of research projects by RHEA members. For a complete overview of all publications of RHEA members and affiliated members, please visit the research portal of the VUB.
