Subject: Admissions to PhD Programme in Human Ecology, Ambedkar University
To: meet.yeti@xxxxxxxxx
Ambedkar University, Delhi, announces admissions to its PhD programme in
Human Ecology for the academic year 2013-14. The deadline for application
is July 7, 2013.
The Ph.D. programme in Human Ecology is open to (1) applicants already
holding the MPhil
degree (in disciplines related to Human Ecology), and (2) for applicants
with MSc/MA who
have displayed special aptitude, such as completion of a research thesis or
scholarly
publication in the area of Human Ecology.
The School of Human Ecology (SHE) at AUD fosters
interdisciplinary research and learning in the areas at the intersection of
human society,
non-human beings and the biophysical environment, through its PhD
programme. The
PhD programme is guided by the idea that environmental concerns and
challenges such
as resource depletion, ecological degradation and resource conflicts result
from complex
interactions of social and environmental factors, and therefore meaningful
intervention in
these debates should be informed by knowledge and skills on a wide range of
subjects.
The uniqueness of the PhD programme in Human Ecology at AUD, and its
distinctiveness from other programmes in India, comes from its proposal to
synergistically link the sciences and humanities to explore and understand
environmental
issues as well as its emphasis on field-based learning and research. The
aim of PhD
coursework and the dissertation is as much to create multi-disciplinary
range of
knowledge as it is to create depth in a core discipline. A successful PhD
candidate at
SHE is thus expected to develop understanding of a core/specialised subject
area which is
enriched, strengthened and informed by other disciplines that may have a
bearing on the
research question.
The thematic areas of research being undertaken at the School of
Human Ecology include:
1.
social transitions and environmental change
2.
livelihood-environment linkages
3. applied ecology and ecosystem management
4.
policy and politics of natural resource management
5.
health research from ecological perspective
6. historical understandings of ecological transformations
7. natural resource economics
