Call for Applications Theme: The End of Just War? Subtitle: Non-Violence and Civilian Protection Type: PhD Position Institution: Centre for Applied Philosophy, Politics and Ethics (CAPPE), University of Brighton Location: Brighton (United Kingdom) Date: from October 2019 Deadline: 24.5.2019 __________________________________________________ The University of Brighton is offering a three-year, full time PhD position on "The End of Just War? Non-Violence and Civilian Protection", starting in October 2019. Funding will cover fees and a PhD stipend at the UKRI rate, £15,009 pa for 2019/20. The successful candidate will be a member of the Centre for Applied Philosophy, Politics and Ethics (CAPPE). Project in brief Civilians account for a higher proportion of deaths in war than at any point in history, killing in violent conflict is increasing, and a spate of wars in North Africa and the Middle East have left behind destroyed lives and destroyed states. It is time to ask whether the idea that war can be a morally just way of protecting civilians should be rejected. Departing from orthodox philosophical approaches to the ethics of war, this project takes an applied and interdisciplinary approach to address the question of whether Just War Theory should be renounced.
