Call for Applications: OxBHR Graduate Workshop on Business and Human Rights - deadline extended
Associated people
The Oxford Business and Human Rights Network is pleased to announce its first workshop for graduate researchers undertaking DPhil/PhD projects in the field of business and human rights. The first workshop will take place on Tuesday 15 March, from 12:00 to 17:00. This workshop will bring together six enthusiastic graduate researchers to present on their current research in progress, receive feedback from academics specialising in the field, and network among their colleagues and peers from other universities. The Workshop is thus an invaluable opportunity for students to enrich their doctoral research by gaining expert and peer feedback, as well as collectively asking and debating the difficult questions needed to advance the field of business and human rights.
The workshop will be hosted by the Oxford Business and Human Rights Research Network (OxBHR) in association with the Bonavero Institute of Human Rights. In advance, students should submit a piece of work of no more than 5,000 words, which, if selected for participation, will be sent to an academic expert for comment. The Workshop will then take place on Tuesday, 15 March 2022 at the Bonavero Institute of Human Rights (assistance with travel costs is available) but online participation (in a hybrid format) is possible.
