MGS: an ESRC-funded consortium
The University of Nottingham as part of Midlands Graduate School is inviting applications for an ESRC Doctoral Studentship in association with our collaborative partner RSPCA to commence October 2019.
The studentship will focus on the topic of animal research, with the aim of comparing ‘public’ expectations around animal research governance with current UK policy. The project focuses on the public imaginaries of animal ethics committees known as AWERBs (Animal Welfare and Ethical Review Bodies), and explores how the democratic legitimacy of scientific practice is constructed.
