Minimum entry requirements for mphil/phd environmental economics.
The minimum entry requirement for this programme is a taught master’s degree (or equivalent), with a minimum of 65 per cent average and at least 70 in dissertation, in a related discipline.
Competition for places at the School is high. This means that even if you meet our minimum entry requirement, this does not guarantee you an offer of admission.
The programme is offered in the following alternative formats:
Either the stand-alone MPhil/PhD in Environmental Economics (+3 route)
Or Combined with the MSc in Environmental Economics and Climate Change progressing onto the MPhil/PhD in Environmental Economics (1+3 route)
+ 3 Route: MPhil/PhD in Environmental Economics (2-4 years)
The minimum entry requirement for this programme is a taught master’s degree (or equivalent), with a minimum of 65 per cent average and at least 70 in dissertation, in a related discipline.
1+3 Route: MSc in Environmental Economics and Climate Change (1 year) + MPhil/PhD in Environmental Economics (2-4 years)
The 1+3 route – suitable if you do not hold a relevant postgraduate degree – is aimed at students graduating with an undergraduate degree preferably in economics, or otherwise with a background in economic analysis and strong analytical, quantitative and technical skills. (See Entrance requirements for the MSc in Environmental Economics and Climate Change)
The 1+3 Combined PhD Programme is only available as part of an ESRC Funded pathway. The 1+3 scheme provides funding for a one year research training master's linked to a PhD programme and is designed for students who have not already completed an ESRC recognised programme of research training. The ESRC 1+3 scholarship covers the master’s and the PhD programme and so takes up to 5 years in total.
Progression from the master’s onto the PhD programme is dependent upon performance in the master’s programme (Students must score 65% overall and at least 70 in their dissertation to comply with the department’s usual PhD entry criteria).
To apply for the 1+3 route, an application must be submitted for the relevant master’s programme, including a research proposal for the PhD aspect of the pathway. Applicants must also indicate their wish to be considered for the 1+3 pathway and associated funding within their personal statement. Students who apply for the PhD programme directly, will not be considered for the 1+3 pathway.

At the end of your second year (full-time), you will need to satisfy certain requirements and if you meet these, will be retroactively upgraded to PhD status.
For the most up-to-date list of optional courses please visit the relevant School Calendar page.
You must note however that while care has been taken to ensure that this information is up to date and correct, a change of circumstances since publication may cause the School to change, suspend or withdraw a course or programme of study, or change the fees that apply to it. The School will always notify the affected parties as early as practicably possible and propose any viable and relevant alternative options. Note that the School will neither be liable for information that after publication becomes inaccurate or irrelevant, nor for changing, suspending or withdrawing a course or programme of study due to events outside of its control, which includes but is not limited to a lack of demand for a course or programme of study, industrial action, fire, flood or other environmental or physical damage to premises.
You must also note that places are limited on some courses and/or subject to specific entry requirements. The School cannot therefore guarantee you a place. Please note that changes to programmes and courses can sometimes occur after you have accepted your offer of a place. These changes are normally made in light of developments in the discipline or path-breaking research, or on the basis of student feedback. Changes can take the form of altered course content, teaching formats or assessment modes. Any such changes are intended to enhance the student learning experience. You should visit the School’s Calendar , or contact the relevant academic department, for information on the availability and/or content of courses and programmes of study. Certain substantive changes will be listed on the updated graduate course and programme information page.
Supervision.
You will either be allocated a principal supervisor and a review supervisor, or two joint supervisors. One or both will be specialist in your chosen research field, though not necessarily in your topic. The Department encourages – whenever possible – joint-supervision arrangements. However, please confirm your supervisory arrangements during your first meeting with your supervisor(s).
Joint supervisors will have a joint leading role throughout your studies, and you will be able to meet them separately or jointly. Students with a main and a review supervisor should be aware that the main supervisor will have a leading supervisory role during the doctoral studies, whereas the review supervisor will be involved less frequently, being primarily responsible for progress monitoring and participating in review and upgrading decisions (see below). However, please keep your review supervisor abreast of your progress throughout the year and discuss with him/her any matters arising as soon as possible.
Once on the MPhil/PhD programme you will go through a First Year Progress Review taking place in the Spring Term of your first research year. This is Year 1 for students in the +3 programme and Year 2 for students in the 1+3 programme. For the First Year Progress Review, you must submit a written progress report containing an extensive and updated research proposal (typically including an introduction to the topic and motivation for the research; aims and objectives/research questions; contribution to knowledge; summary of methods to be used; and outline of the work to be done) and either a comprehensive literature review or a substantive draft of a chapter/paper as evidence of progress made during the year. Normally, there will be a progress review meeting between you and the supervisors to discuss the written material presented. The work has to reach an acceptable standard to enable you to progress. There is provision for a second Supplementary Review in cases where there are doubts as to whether progress has been sufficient to allow entry to the second year (third year of the 1+3 programme). Progression to the second year (third year of the 1+3 programme) is also dependent on you having passed all required examinations and obtained at least one merit, and having presented your work satisfactorily in the doctoral presentation workshops.
All research students are initially registered for an MPhil and have to be upgraded to PhD status. The upgrade from MPhil to PhD usually occurs during the second year of full-time registration. This is Year 2 for students in the +3 programme and Year 3 for students in the 1+3 route. The exact timing depends on your progress. You are required to submit a formal written upgrade report consisting of an extensive revised research proposal, two substantive draft papers/chapters, of which one can be a literature review, and a detailed plan for completion. You will be asked to discuss your research paper/thesis outline during an Upgrade Meeting in front of an Upgrading Committee normally formed by your main supervisor, your review supervisor and a third member of staff with relevant expertise. The material is evaluated by the Upgrading Committee, who will recommend transferral to PhD registration if your work is judged to be of sufficient quality and quantity. The upgrade is also dependent on you having completed all required training courses and having made a satisfactory research presentation in your doctoral presentation workshop.
In addition to these formal arrangements, each year during the Spring Term and throughout the course of your studies, you and your supervisors have to complete a yearly Progress Report Form, detailing progress made, problems arising and plan/timeline for completion. The forms are sent to the relevant Doctoral Programme Director for approval before you are able to re-register for the following session. If perceived lack of progress is identified, it can trigger a more formal annual review of progress in which you will be asked to produce specific written documents to be evaluated by a review panel.

Business Schools for Climate Leadership, a consortium that includes Cambridge Judge Business School, offers a new online Global PhD course open to doctoral students at business schools.
Category: News Programme news
Business Schools for Climate Leadership (BS4CL), a consortium that includes Cambridge Judge Business School, has organised a new online Global PhD course that begins on 25 January and is open to doctoral students in any management, organisation theory, or strategy-related PhD programme at a business school.
In addition, BS4CL recently held its first Alumni Champions Meeting, which aims to maximise the sustainability efforts of each member business school through collaboration.
The new Global PhD course consists of 10 online sessions running from 25 January to 28 March, which are taught by expert faculty from within the BS4CL network and other leading scholars in the field of climate transition and management studies.
“The purpose of this global PhD course is to prepare the next generation of scholars to generate impactful, in-depth knowledge about and approaches to the challenges that organisations are currently facing as they navigate the climate transition,” say the organisers.
Participants will be connected with fellow PhD students from around the world, which will help create a professional network to support research and hopefully lead to collaborative projects on organising for the climate transition.
For Cambridge Judge, Jennifer Howard-Grenville, Diageo Professor in Organisation Studies, is one of 3 programme coordinators along with colleagues from IESE and Oxford Saïd.
“This new course is offered to PhD students from any business school globally. Our aim is to help develop the next generation of scholars who can contribute to research and practice through evidence-based approaches to how the climate transition can be achieved, and accelerated, by businesses and other organisations,” says Jen.
Response to the course has been very positive. Organisers have offered acceptances to more than 120 students who will join all sessions of the course online, and each student has a faculty facilitator who can support them should they wish to take the course for credit at their home institution. At Cambridge Judge, PhD candidate Tirza Gapp is helping with the course logistics.
The BS4CL steering group also includes Chris Coleridge, Management Practice Associate Professor at Cambridge Judge, who co-founded a Cambridge-based net zero accelerator called Carbon13.
“The climate crisis can be understood through many lenses, including those of science and economics,” says Chris. “We’re used to thinking about these ‘big picture’ levers when we want ‘big change’. But the way society organises its efforts to drive scientific and economic solutions is through organisations – so it is a vital component of our response to the climate emergency to ground our understanding of ‘how to respond’ in robust organisational and strategic theory. This course provides that grounding and could not be more timely.”
BS4CL was established at the time of the COP26 climate-change summit in Glasgow in 2021 as a research and thought leadership partnership between 8 leading European business schools with the idea to collaborate in generating and disseminating actionable insights and recommendations for climate leadership.
The 8 initial business schools – Cambridge Judge Business School, HEC Paris, IE Business School, IESE Business School, the International Institute for Management Development (IMD), INSEAD, London Business School, and Oxford Saïd Business School – were joined by a cluster of business schools in Africa at COP27 in Egypt in 2022 and a cluster of business schools from the Middle East at COP28 in the United Arab Emirates in late 2023.
The 8 initial members have about 500,000 alumni, so the idea of the first Alumni Champions Meeting held on 12 December was to create a ripple effect through our community on sustainability issues. This will be followed by the next practitioners conference to be held in spring 2024 at INSEAD. The goal is to maximise impact of each school’s own initiatives related to sustainability and climate change through interconnection and coordination, including translating research into actionable insights to distribute to alumni. Areas for collaboration include the circular economy and climate finance, and the group plans to explore the possibility of a journal or other communications channel to keep alumni informed of new initiatives.

Executive education
Essential knowledge and skills to lead, deliver and quantify sustainability throughout your organisation.
The King’s ESG programme is designed to ensure managers and leaders can navigate the complex and rapidly developing area of sustainable business and ESG (Environment, Social and Governance) measurement within their sectors and organisations.
The course provides a robust and insightful grounding in the core topics (e.g. climate, corporate responsibility, sustainability, stewardship), regulations and trends, before moving into an in-depth exploration of how to apply best practice, and crucially avoid the pitfalls, around ESG reporting and leading sustainability initiatives. Moving beyond mere compliance, this course will transfer skills and knowledge to managers and leaders in all areas of the business, ensuring they understand how the mainstreaming of ESG can, and must, be integrated into their own role and department in order to remain competitive and maximise opportunities for business. Learning lessons from best practice and failed initiatives, this course will focus on educating all areas of the business to mainstream ESG and drive substantive sustainable and long-lasting change.

As the world grapples with ever more complex and urgent crises, organisations can be at the forefront of sustainability innovations to lead the transition and reap the benefits of new models, opportunities and value streams. King’s Business School is uniquely placed to partner with you to lead the change and enable you to achieve your goals. Reaching into the enormous breadth and depth of expertise across King’s, we assemble multi-faceted teams of experts across business, politics, law, science, engineering and the humanities.
The course is delivered over 3 days in person at King’s executive education campus in central London.
As a multi-faculty, interdisciplinary university based in the heart of London, King’s draws on our cutting-edge research and specialist expertise in business, law, policy, finance, geography, science and engineering.
As sustainable business is a rapidly evolving area, King’s is pleased to support participants after the formal programme closes with access to webinars, leading edge research and resources capturing developments and updates, through membership of our executive education alumni community.
Each day of the course will dive into a core area of ESG practice, starting with a deep understanding of the topic before exploring and learning, through case studies and guest speakers, about companies who have mastered best practice and made (and effectively avoided) costly mistakes. At the end of each day, you will learn to apply the concepts and tools to your own role and organisation, building an action plan for implementation.
Day 1: Sustainable business: boundaries, opportunities and headwinds | – Come face-to-face with the impact of the climate crisis. We’ll review the latest IPCC and scientific evidence to understand the impact of humans on earth (planetary boundaries) and the challenges we face. Participants will consider the business opportunities that these challenges present and the possibilities for sustainable growth. We’ll also recognise the challenges of rapid change and the headwinds presented by business-as-usual. Finally, participants will identify and share some of the limitations we experience in data and information, current business practices and management systems. (case studies) – We will begin to embrace the shift in mind-set that is required to embed sustainability decision-making and practices in our day-to-day role, through specially designed interactive exercises. (application) – Working in pairs and groups you will consider how to apply the lessons learnt to engage your colleagues in a similar shift in mind-set and to identify how collectively, your department can best contribute and complement other departments’ efforts. Session leaders: and |
---|---|
Day 2: ESG in practice | – We will discuss what ESG means for your business today from an operational and strategic perspective. Why has ESG become so topical and how is it different from CSR? Why does new regulation mean every department must be involved in order to succeed? We will explore how to navigate the landscape of voluntary frameworks, ratings, scores and certifications. And we will interrogate the role each department has to play including estates, human resources, marketing, operations, finance and more. (case studies) – Working in groups we’ll review and analyse Annual Reports (including TCFD disclosures) and Sustainability Reports to identify best (and worst) practice and how to avoid unintentional greenwashing. (application) – Through individual and group exercises we’ll understand what measurement and reporting excellence looks like and how it needs to involve every department in the business. Session leader: |
Day 3 – Sustainability data: Collecting and reporting ESG performance | – One of the challenges in boosting ESG performance is around ensuring that you are able to collect the right data to begin with. How do you capture data that you don’t (yet) have? We begin with approaches to data collection, in terms of systems development. This includes software platforms, identifying who in the organisation is responsible for what data, etc. We then move into best practices and pitfalls in data analysis and reporting. (case studies) – Approaches to ESG reporting have developed significantly over the last 20 years, especially since the first Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) guideline was established in 2000, and as many companies have achieved B Corporation status since the first cohort was certified in 2007. More recently there has been an explosion of carbon calculators, compliance consultants and data management system providers. This means there are ample opportunities to learn from both best practices and pitfalls that organisations have encountered. In this session, we work in groups to identify what went right, and wrong, in developing ESG data collection, analysis and reporting, in the illustrative cases, and crucially, distil lessons. (application) – In this final session, we apply the lessons learned to leaders and managers’ own context. This comprises developing an action plan for what questions to ask, and what steps to take, next. Session leader: |
Coaching session | All participants will join a virtual follow up session two weeks after the in-person teaching to revisit your action plan and review and adapt your plans with a coach to move forward successfully. |
*Please note the exact timetable may be subject to change.

Company engagement with ESG is increasingly required by regulators and reported by the world’s largest companies. But ESG is more than reporting requirements. Customers, employees, and suppliers, expect that companies go "beyond compliance." How do businesses achieve this integrated approach? In this course, we offer crucial insight into how each role and department can contribute, by mainstreaming ESG into each aspect of the business. Robyn Klingler-Vidra- Associate Dean, Global Engagement, and Associate Professor in Entrepreneurship and Sustainability
Sustainable business is arguably one of the largest growth opportunities – for your career and your business – that there has ever been. Done well, ESG drives innovation, value and engagement across the whole business as well as mitigating risk. You’ll discover how to make ESG work for you; and why getting started on it now will give you and your organisation a real advantage over the next twelve months and throughout your career. Marc Lepere - King’s Business School’s ESG executive education lead

Expertise of research area climate change; interdisciplinary; net-zero; solutions
The Priestley International Centre for Climate promotes interdisciplinary research of the highest standard on climate and its impact on nature and society. The Priestley Centre’s focus is on interdisciplinary collaborations that better link our physical, technological, economic, social and cultural understanding of climate change in order to deliver robust and timely climate solutions.
<p>Building on the university’s outstanding reputation for climate research, the Priestley International Centre for Climate represents a flagship investment of more than £10 million to this global challenge. The Centre delivers excellent research to underpin climate solutions with a specific focus on four areas:</p> <ul> <li><a href="https://climate.leeds.ac.uk/research/improving-prediction-of-future-climate/">Improving Predictions of Future Climate</a></li> <li><a href="https://climate.leeds.ac.uk/research/understanding-risk-to-develop-a-resilient-world/">Understanding Risk to Develop a Resilient World</a></li> <li><a href="https://climate.leeds.ac.uk/research/enabling-low-carbon-transitions/">Enabling Low Carbon Transitions</a></li> <li><a href="https://climate.leeds.ac.uk/research/addressing-the-social-political-and-economic-dimensions-of-climate-change/">Addressing the Social, Political and Economic Dimensions of Climate Change</a></li> </ul> <p>For case studies see: <a href="http://climate.leeds.ac.uk/research">climate.leeds.ac.uk/research</a></p> <p>University of Leeds researchers are leading the way in supporting scientific assessments and policymaking on climate solutions on an international, national and local scale:</p> <ul> <li>Internationally, Leeds is heavily engaged with the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC). The IPCC’s scientific assessments have been seminal in the development of the Paris Agreement and in ongoing efforts to support countries in setting emissions reduction commitments to meet the 1.5°C target. Leeds researchers continue to contribute IPCC assessments used in periodical stocktakes of the Paris Agreement implementation. </li> <li>Nationally, Leeds research and expertise underpinned the ground-breaking commitment by the UK government to reduce greenhouse gas emissions to net-zero by 2050. The recommendations from the UK Committee on Climate Change, on which this commitment is based, includes a broad range of input from the University of Leeds, including key evidence on remaining emissions, the UK’s carbon footprint and energy demand reduction. </li> <li>Locally, Leeds researchers are leading the Leeds Climate Commission which seeks to be an independent voice in the city, providing authoritative advice on steps towards a low carbon, climate resilient future so as to inform policies and shape the actions of local stakeholders and decision-makers. Leeds researchers have developed a carbon roadmap for Leeds, demonstrating that Leeds could become carbon neutral by 2050. </li> </ul> <p>The Priestley Centre has identified a number of strategic research areas for growth and we encourage proposals in the following areas (however these should not be seen as exclusive):</p> <ul> <li>Achieving net-zero emissions</li> <li>Climate and Health</li> <li>Climate and Culture</li> <li>Climate Services</li> </ul> <p>For more information on PhD opportunities in the Centre, <a href="https://climate.leeds.ac.uk/opportunities/priestley-phd-scholarships/">see our website</a>.</p> <h3>Useful links and further reading:</h3> <ul> <li><a href="https://environment.leeds.ac.uk/see-research-degrees">Research degrees within the School of Earth and Environment</a></li> <li><a href="https://climate.leeds.ac.uk/">Priestley International Centre for Climate</a></li> <li><a href="https://environment.leeds.ac.uk/see-research">School of Earth and Environment, Research and Innovation</a> </li> </ul> <h3>Leeds Doctoral College</h3> <p>Our <a href="https://www.leeds.ac.uk/research-leeds-doctoral-college">Doctoral College</a> supports you throughout your postgraduate research journey.

We have three teaching terms per year, the autumn, spring and summer terms. Term dates can be found on our website .
As a full-time student, you will typically take three modules in each of the first two terms, followed by your dissertation. If you are a part-time student, you will typically take three modules across each year, followed by your dissertation.
Each module represents a total of 200 hours of study time, including preparatory reading, homework and assignment preparation.
Birmingham offers small-group teaching on the LLM, and students opting for popular modules with large groups of students will receive (where possible) additional teaching time: classes will be split into two separate seminar groups so as to provide an equal opportunity for class interaction compared to those in smaller modules.
The LLM pathways enable you to develop expertise in a range of subjects. You will acquire a systematic understanding of these along with a critical appreciation of the problems that arise in these fields. You will be encouraged to demonstrate originality in the application of knowledge together with a practical understanding of how established research techniques are used to create and interpret knowledge.
At the start of the course there is a comprehensive welcome and induction programme designed to help you settle in and gain an understanding of the Birmingham LLM. You will familiarise yourself with the various ways in which we can support you throughout the year to ensure that your LLM course is an exciting and rewarding experience.
Students can register for modules before arrival as well as at the start of the academic year. As part of the induction process you will get the opportunity to learn more about the various modules available and make choices that correspond to your interests.
All the LLM pathways may be taken part-time and completed over a period of two years. This mode of study is particularly suitable for barristers and solicitors who wish to combine professional practice with university-level study, gaining CPD points in the process.
Classes for part-time students on the LLM will be scheduled between 9am-6pm and students will typically have between 2-4 hours of teaching each week. Fees are the same as for full-time study but are split over two years.
For students from outside the UK, there will be an opportunity during induction to familiarise themselves with the English legal system, as it forms the basis for the modules on offer. The Birmingham International Academy (BIA) provides a range of support in reading and writing academic English .
Our graduates move onto a diverse range of careers, with many going on to work in top law schools and law firms. Some examples of where our recent graduates have gone on to work include: Linklaters LLP, 5 Pump Court Chambers, Bar Pro Bono Unit and Squire Patton Boggs. A number of our postgraduate students go directly from Birmingham to complete the Legal Practice Course or the Bar Professional Training Course.
The Law School maintains strong links with the professional world, through our network of alumni and contacts in the barristers’ and solicitors’ professions. These links allow us to put on a series of law careers events throughout the academic year.
Each autumn, the University hosts the Law Fair, in which we welcome over 50 law firms, including some of the largest law firms in the world, to the University's Great Hall. The attendees represent law firms of all sizes and most areas of practice.
Each year, the Law School hosts an “Employability Fortnight”. The events which run in this fortnight have included an Applications Process Panel Session, a Midlands Circuit Court Visit followed by an Inner Temple Drinks Reception in the evening, an Alternative Dispute Resolution Workshop by Herbert Smith, and dedicated Careers Advice Drop-in Sessions.
The Careers Network organises regular events including presentations by top law firms and the annual Law Fair. It also runs workshops to help students prepare effective applications and to prepare for their next move. Its events on non-law careers, including journalism, marketing and working with charities, can be of interest to law students.
The Law School organises a range of mooting opportunities and students have the opportunity to participate (a moot is a mock trial of a legal issue). The Moot Room is a state-of-the-art court room, complete with audio-visual equipment for recording moots. The Law School operates four mooting competitions, and students regularly represent the University at regional and national competitions, with notable success.

Blog post Part of series: BERA Conference 2024 and WERA Focal Meeting
Ben Whitburn, Associate Professor at University of Southampton Jonathan Vincent, Lecturer in Higher Education at Lancaster University 3 Sep 2024
In this blog post we offer some insights from a recent study among disabled staff and PhD students in the UK to consider what it means to un/belong in the current higher education (HE) sector.
Though the concept of belonging is difficult to define, there is increasing evidence of its application within EDI discourses as well as scholarly attention with particular reference to students. For instance, a collaboration between WonkHE and Pearson examined students’ sense of belonging, reporting that connection, inclusion, support and autonomy are the ‘four foundations of belonging at university’ (see Blake et al., 2022). Elsewhere, researchers have advanced an argument that belonging is a relational, situated and processual experience, which is complexly linked to the digital and physical environment of a university (see Gravett & Ajjawi, 2022). Under such dynamic conditions of uncertainty, Gravett & Ajjawi (2022, p. 1388) contend that ‘there is an urgent need to question who can belong, how, and to where/whom?’ We designed our project to address these sorts of questions specifically as they apply to disabled staff and PhD students, whose support necessarily falls within institutional EDI efforts .
As disability can no longer be understood in simplistic medical or social model positions but – like belonging – might be understood as an almalgum of social, material and critical knowledge-making capacities, we were eager to learn how disabled people navigate and contribute to higher education in ways that affect their sense of belonging. In total, we interviewed 19 participants: 13 disabled staff members, 2 PhD students, and 4 members of staff who were also completing doctorates from a range of universities across the UK. In keeping with our intention to engage ‘inclusive disability-orientated research’ (see Nind, 2017), we enhanced accessibility for participants by offering various adjustments including having access to interview questions in advance, additional processing time, holding shorter interviews, and movement breaks. Ethical clearance was granted by the institutional review board at both institutions.
As we will discuss at the BERA Conference 2024 and WERA Focal Meeting in Manchester in September, there were a number of pertinent themes which situated un/belonging along intersecting affective, relational, spatial and political lines.
Belonging was predominantly articulated in affective terms, often associated with feeling valued by and within institutions. As one participant explained:
‘it’s sort of feeling … comfortable with the people in your community, comfortable with knowing how you can accomplish different things, whether it be a part of life or part of your professional requirements. So it’s a feeling of comfort, I guess.’
Relational belonging, or a sense of connection, also played a significant role for many participants. They expressed this sense of the concept as fostered through staff networks, management, supervisors and peers; as another participant stated:
‘So there’s a bit of a feeling of solidarity … it’s definitely a contributor to belonging.’
However, experiencing un/belonging was also prevalent and experienced as practical and political encounters with ableist structures and policies. Participants highlighted challenges such as a lack of necessary reasonable adjustments , continually having to negotiate for accommodations, and inaccessible physical spaces. As one participant told us:
‘I’ve definitely felt – I’m made to feel like a nuisance and I’ve been made to very much feel like I’m the problem in terms of when I [inhales] when I ask for “unreasonable” things like videos being captioned. I’ve been copied into, again, 10, 20 emails about how much extra work it is that has to be done now.’
‘Actively creating space for un/belonging was viewed by some as a political act of subversion, therefore problematising the notion that belonging is inherently positive.’
These encounters often led to self-disciplining mechanisms, including the masking of impairments for those who could do so or withdrawing from social interactions. Interestingly, for others, actively creating space for un/belonging was viewed as a political act of subversion, therefore problematising the notion that belonging is inherently positive.
Our study develops some important implications for fostering disability knowledge and experience within institutional policies, curriculum and procedures. Under the increasingly neoliberal conditions within higher education, accessibility and reasonable adjustments have become highly individualised, which has reduced the capacity for relational and political belonging. However, what is starkly clear from our data is that disabled staff and PhD students can offer vital insights into the nature and experience of un/belonging and its potential to transform higher education.
