The Chrystal Macmillan PhD Studentship, University of Edinburgh, UK

This Studentship is offered by the School of Social and Political Science to a new PhD student studying a field relevant to Chrystal Macmillan.

University of Edinburgh

Chrystal Macmillan was a pioneering campaigner for social justice. In 1896, she was the first woman to graduate from the University of Edinburgh in science, later converting to law, and becoming one of the first group of women to be called to the English bar in 1924. She was a leading suffragist, campaigning for votes for women and equality of opportunity in other spheres. She was a prominent figure in the international women’s movement, campaigning for peace and conflict resolution during the First World War, and was a delegate to the Paris Peace Conference in 1919.

The School has recognised these achievements by naming our School’s building the Chrystal Macmillan Building and by establishing a PhD studentship in her name.

PhD Position in Transitional Justice, NIOD, Netherlands

PhD candidate Transitional Justice, Full-time for four years
“Understanding the Age of Transitional Justice: Narratives in a Historical Perspective”

The general goal of the NIOD program on Transitional justice is to contribute to understanding the impact and aftermath of mass state-sponsored human rights violations on post-genocidal, post-conflict, post-repressive societies. In pursuit of a conceptualization of generic mechanisms and factors that influence genocidal crimes and the subsequent transitional justice processes, this program opts for the portal of the personal, the legal, and the political narrative. It will examine the various phases and levels at which testimonies, or narratives of events, play a role in influencing the form of TJ undertaken by a given post-repressive society.

The levels may be distinguished as follows:

  • The victims (the individuals telling their story)
  • The institutions for the administration of Transitional Justice (the narrative of judicial and extra-judicial authorities)
  • The validators, or ‘form-givers’ – political elites, media, police, and other relevant actors – who selectively frame the public debate and impart the narratives and the use of narratives (produced in trials, vetting procedures, truth commissions, NGO-sponsored oral histories) with a particular political and social significance.

A dynamic multi-leveled approach that aims to reveal the interaction between the testimonies, the formality of processing them, and the developing political system should shed light on the individual, psychological, social, and political impact/consequences of TJ processes. The NIOD has created a PhD position in order to study the role, impact, and significance of testimonies in transitional justice.

Qualified candidates are invited to send a one-page proposal (max. 500 words) on the research they propose to conduct, dealing with cases, possibly a comparison of cases, connected to this general topic, within the framework of the NIOD TJ program.
