We have a PhD vacancy under our 'Exploring CONFINED LIVES as they intersect in Denmark and Lebanon' project. Based at @aalborg_uni, the successful applicant will explore various dimensions of confinement (camps, ghettos or prisons etc.) associated with migration and the maintenance of everyday family lives in Denmark and in Lebanon for people of Palestinian descent. This PhD is part of a larger project that explores confinement and confined lives across four transnational sites. The overarching project investigates confinement as both a restriction of freedom and a form of protection, highlighting its unequal distribution in contexts of urban marginality, displacement and incarceration.

A great comment from @RikHuizinga that we should all consider writing more about productive failures so we can collectively learn from mistakes and reflect on the "situated judgements" (from Darling), something I wish more of us would do across disciplines!

next @RikHuizinga and Bas Spierings are offering a 3-axis typology for the learning researcher to engage with when considering walk-alongs as part of research design, encouraging us to critically engage with "the hype" of the method (super interesting!!!!)
