Doctoral Programme: Human Rights, Democracy, Diversity, and Gender

Artwork and Design: Roman Klug, University of Graz

Human rights touch upon all facets of life - so why just study them from the viewpoint of one disci-pline? Join the Doctoral Programme, where you can explore human rights issues from an interdisci-plinary perspective, with the help of professors and students from five different faculties at the University of Graz.

You can present and discuss your research proposals, preliminary findings and progress to receive intensive feedback and fresh ideas from researchers in a variety of disciplines, including law, social sciences, the humanities, theology, and the natural sciences. An integral part of the Doctoral Programme, the international PhD workshop held every year at EIUC in Venice/Lido gives you the opportunity to share your work and receive feedback from international academics and your own peers from other universities, while also finding out about new and cutting edge research in human rights.

Interested?

Send a CV and an outline of your dissertation project to bernadette.knauder(at)uni-graz.at
The preparatory meeting for the summer semester will be on March 11, 2019 at 17:00 in SR 19.01 at Elisabethstrasse 50b.
