Paul Cottingham Trust Scholarship

The scholarship will be awarded to a candidate who is committed to making a difference to the wider Trans community, especially its most marginalised members, for example disabled Trans people and Trans people of colour. The successful candidate will receive dedicated mentoring by a current CTSG member of staff and a PhD student to support your academic career. They will also receive up to £1,500 towards the cost of attending relevant conferences.

In addition, the successful candidate will have access to the CTSG's own methodological space, The Creative Methods Lab. This is where researchers meet to develop and conduct research, using state-of-the-art visual and audio recording equipment.
