The British Academy: Research proposals on-"Just Transitions, What is a good city?, Global (Dis)Order’"- expression of Interest

The programmes will be problem or challenge-focused and highly interdisciplinary. Their goal will be to open new fields of inquiry, harness research to address these challenges aiming to catalyse change in industry, practice, policy and society, and support collaborative exploration across disciplines and borders.

Just Transitions: Applications may focus on planetary health or just transition in a different framing.

What is a good city? The ‘good city’ evokes the good life, yet urban citizens often live with ill health, poor living conditions, fear, and helplessness. The image and the experience of the city can therefore conflict, and how cities are organised to manage urban conflict is important to understanding the governance, social inclusion and political processes that underpin the ‘good city’.

Global (Dis)Order: The study of global (dis)order must sit alongside analysis of justice and power that incorporates challenges to established patterns of authority.

Teams must include 6-8 researchers based in the UK and internationally, with two programme leads. One of these must be based in the UK. In the wider team, there must be at least four participants not based in the UK.This core team must include researchers from multiple disciplines.

Funding: up to £500,000 per year.
