Segnaliamo l’apertura di una posizione di dottorato in “Dredging, Sediments and Land-making Labour in Singapore”, in cotutela tra lo svedese Royal Institute of Technology e la Nanyang Technological University di Singapore.
We are looking for an ambitious PhD student to analyze the political ecology of coastal urbanization by developing a qualitative case study on the labour and workers behind dredging and land reclamation in Singapore, an often invisiblized labour that nevertheless laid the foundation for this global city of finance and trade. The focus is on workers’ experiences, histories, migration, organization and everyday places. The project combines urban political ecology (UPE) and labour geography to understand how sediment, machinery and labor combine with industrial and financial capital to shape often unequal urbanization patterns
Deadline: 10 giugno 2025
