Phd Scholarships: African Diaspora

1 week ago

Perth, Western Australia The African Association For The Study Of Religions Full time

We are offering 2 PhD scholarships (1 based in Sydney and 1 in Perth) as part of the Australian Research Council (ARC) funded project: "The African Diaspora and Pentecostalism in Australia: New Perspectives on Materiality, Media and Religion."This project investigates the new African Diaspora in Australia and its embrace of Pentecostalism, particularly after arrival.
The African community in Australia has often been associated with poor settlement outcomes and has also been on the receiving end of a racialised moral panic.
The project aims to:Understand the range of challenges African-Australian communities face;Determine why so many of their members join Pentecostal churches;Investigate how Pentecostal churches support these communities' translocal and transnational mobility and sense of belonging;Contribute to policy efforts to improve outcomes for African new arrivals in Australia.Within this larger project, the PhD candidates will conduct ethnographic research with Pentecostal churches in Australia and with African Diasporas in the country.
Both projects will investigate questions such as:How do Pentecostal churches support/hinder processes of settlement and 'integration'?
How do some Pentecostal megachurches generate transnational religious fields – ones which may harness resources from branches elsewhere in the world?
What impact does all of this have on Australian cities' post-secular social landscapes?
We welcome applicants from a range of backgrounds: anthropology, sociology, religious studies, African studies, migration studies, or a related field.
In particular, the project is suitable for candidates with strong interests in the intersections of migration and religion.
Applications from students of African heritage are especially welcomed.
