The Opportunity
Do you have a passion for promoting equity, diversity and inclusion in teacher education? Do you want to make a contribution to knowledge through research?
Monash Education is offering two related PhDs projects on the topic of the cultural diversity of preservice teachers. This is an important topic in the current context when i) there remain ongoing concerns about the whiteness of the teaching profession; ii) preservice teachers from diverse backgrounds often report feeling marginalised; iii) in some teacher education there is a reduction of focus on race, culture, gender and social class and iv) there are new incentives to recruit teachers into a precarious profession, yet we don't know how these recruitment efforts are impacting teachers from diverse backgrounds.
2 x PhD scholarships for full-time research at postgraduate level. The award is available to applicants intending to undertake a PhD with a focus on the cultural diversity of preservice teachers.
We are offering the following two PhD projects under this broader theme:
The awardees will be determined by a panel in a merit-based selection process.
