    Description

    This post is part time (10.5 hours per week) and fixed term to 30 April 2027.

    We have an exciting opportunity for a Research Assistant/Associate to contribute to the project "Gypsies Forging Sustainable Futures: Representing Romani Environmental Knowledge and Practices Through Traditional Metal Artwork and Dance (GFSF)", based in Urban Studies.

    The purpose of the role is to assist with meeting the following project objectives:

    (1) To increase knowledge and visibility of the environmental histories, traditions and values of Romani groups in England, Scotland and Spain;

    (2) To explore how to represent these through traditional Romani visual and dance arts;

    (3) To use these arts communication tools to counteract negative stereotypes of Romani people, in particular, as harming the environment;

    (4) To contribute to the development of new sustainability discourses, policy and programmes that build on the lived experience of Romani peoples;

    (5) To address a participation deficit in terms of the inclusion of marginalised groups, particularly Romani communities, in sustainability discourses, policy and programmes;

    (6) To use visual and dance arts to enhance public education, programme development and policy on addressing the climate and other environmental crises.

    Candidates should have specialist theoretical and/or practical knowledge of Roma and/or Romani culture.

    Informal enquiries about the role are welcomed, and should be addressed to Dr Karen Bell,

    Closing date: 15 May 2024

    We believe that we can only reach our full potential through the talents of all. Equality, diversity and inclusion are at the heart of our values. Applications are particularly welcome from across our communities and in particular people from the Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic (BAME) community, and other protected characteristics who are under-represented within the University.
