Fully funded PhD CASE Studentship: Situating Everyday First Aid - Social Practices and Settings of Incidents and Help

With apologies for any cross posting.

------
Please could you forward to your networks, and to current and completed MA
students with a relevant background in social science?

Applications invited for a fully funded PhD CASE Studentship in the Sociology
Department at Lancaster University working with Dr Stanley Blue, Professor
Elizabeth Shove, and the British Red Cross. This is a +3 studentship for
Home/EU students who already have a relevant Masters' degree, or will have one
by the starting date.

Project title: Situating Everyday First Aid: Social Practices and Settings of
Incidents and Help.
Deadline: 9th February 2018.
Starting date: October 2018.

This is a call for applications for a three year, fully funded, ESRC North
West Social Science Doctoral Training Partnership
(NWSSDTP) CASE PhD studentship working in collaboration with the British Red
Cross. The project investigates the social organisation of first aid. The
research will focus on the social and institutional settings within which
first aid 'incidents' occur and how these settings influence the kinds of
'responses' and forms of help that follow. The aim is to provide a better
understanding of accidents, risks, and harms by positioning first aid
incidents not as random events but as embedded in the spatial and temporal
ordering of social practices and social life. Further understanding of the
social organisation of help will put the Red Cross and others in a better
position to promote first aid skills, to help save more lives, and reduce
harm.
