Research subject Environmental Humanities
Within Environmental Humanities, researchers investigate relationships between humans and animals, and between humans and the environment, now and in the past.
Environmental history and human-animal studies are emerging research fields, together with research on the Anthropocene and global warming. Within Environmental Humanities, researchers investigate relationships between humans and animals, and between humans and the environment, now and in the past. Through this research, we are also active participants in research networks at Stockholm university and beyond in grappling with one of the biggest and most acute challenge facing society today.

Doctoral studies
The Department of Culture and Aesthetics offers doctoral studies in this subject. When a position as a PhD student at the department falls vacant, the appointment will be advertised on the university's website. This occurs in conjunction with other applications to the university (March 15 and September 15), but not necessarily every semester nor every year. Keep an eye on the website, and please contact the department if you are interested in applying.
Your application needs to clearly state your credentials and show that you would benefit most from the programme. A well thought out, practical and interesting dissertation plan is important to the overall impression.
