PhD Scholarships, University of Kassel, Germany (2017)

The Rosa-Luxemburg-Stiftung will award two Ph.D. scholarships on the subject of Global Social Rights (GSR) starting 1 April 2018 for a duration of two years (with scope for two 6-month extensions) as part of the cooperative doctoral research group on Social Human Rights at the Universities of Kassel and Fulda. Developing a discourse on Global Social Rights and implementing social and democratic human rights around the world is a priority of the work carried out by the Centre for International Dialogue and Cooperation, the international division of the Rosa-Luxemburg-Stiftung.

Scholarship holders are insured with high-quality doctoral studies. What is of crucial importance is the interdisciplinary way in which the doctoral research group has been organized to include legal studies, political science, philosophy, sociology, and economics.
