Deakin University Critical Phenomenology of Race 2025

A full PhD scholarship is available as part of the ARC-funded Discovery Early Career Research Award (DECRA) project, 'No place like home? A phenomenology of racialised non-belonging', led by Deakin philosopher Dr Helen Ngo. This project aims to deepen our understanding of racialised otherness and uncanniness through the concepts of ‘place’ and ‘home’, reframing racism as not only a political problem but an ontological one.
