PhD opportunity at Leeds Beckett Uni on Place based funding

Leeds Beckett University is advertising for a fully funded PhD’s with a bursary of £14,000 per year, including a PhD on Place based funding: a comparison of policy on increasing participation in disadvantaged communities in art and sport.

The research starts with a question about the relationship of investment in local areas and rates of participation, and asks what the implications are of policies for community development funding in both the arts and sport. Prospective candidates may choose to focus entirely on either the arts or sport. In either case the research will be conducted in some of the areas defined as low in participation and/or high in deprivation, to examine the value of place-based funding. The intention is to examine not just the outcomes of arts policies and sport policies in such circumstances, but also to examine the underlying rationales for intervention.
