Summary
The Institute of Development Studies (IDS) transforms the knowledge, action and leadership needed for more equitable and sustainable development globally, through our world-class research, learning and teaching.
Our PhD by Published Works is for you if you have:
-
completed original and significant research in the field of Development Studies
-
a coherent body of published works
-
not had the opportunity to undertake a research programme leading to a PhD.
The portfolio of research you submit for this PhD will be of the same quality, rigour and volume as a typical PhD. The work might take the form of refereed articles, chapters, monographs and scholarly editions, as long as they are available or traceable in the public domain (and not self-published). A substantial proportion of these works will be peer-reviewed and a number will be solely authored by you. All works should ideally have been published not more than ten years before the date of submission. You’ll work with two qualified supervisors to compose an accompanying 10,000 word dissertation, summarising and explaining your work’s contribution to the development field.
We’re proud of our PhD graduates who define and solve some of the world’s most pressing global challenges in their work as:
-
ministers in national governments and civil servants
-
high-level officials in development organisations such as UNDP and the World Bank
-
leaders of civil-society organisations including Mama Cash and Action Aid
-
high profile academics at universities across the world.
We welcome submissions from researchers who share our commitment to:
-
upholding climate and environmental justice
-
reducing extreme inequities
-
fostering healthy and fulfilling lives
-
nurturing inclusive, democratic and accountable societies.
We’re particularly interested in work that shows originality in addressing topics related to the work of our research clusters:
-
business
-
cities
-
digital
-
governance
-
health
-
impact and policy
-
participation
-
power
-
resource politics
-
rural futures.
