项目摘要

I aim to build on my PhD research and policy work on education, identities and rights of marginalised groups (Wadhwa et al., 2010; NCPCR, 2011, 2012b, 2013; Wadhwa, 2019). I aim to critically engage with this work in the Global South and more specifically in post-colonial India. I will engage more deeply with rural and indigenous communities in India and the processes of state and citizenship formation in my writing for journal publications, new working papers and conference presentations. For my post-doctoral work, I aim to study how national identities are formed, sustained and resisted through digital media and use of technology and have a bearing on youth and gender identities in India. I plan to do this by initially carrying out a limited literature review, co-editing a special issue and organising a symposium on the topic, establishing contact with local NGOs and community gatekeepers for community meetings and impact activities, and eventually applying for new funding for future research. In my PhD, I combined three theoretical frameworks, poststructuralist, postcolonial and feminist, to argue against modern, liberal and Western understandings of concepts, thereby provoking a different way of theorising social world to bring about social justice. I aim to ground myself more firmly in this theoretical approach, develop and disseminate it through further academic rigour in the form of international publications, literature review, conference presentations, reading group, new funding proposals, academic, policy and community engagement. My aim in this Fellowship is to methodically encourage a new intersectional approach for the study of education and identities. This approach will provide space to explore the strategies of resistance and subversion by minority groups. Particularly, the co-edited special issue and the 1-day symposium at Brunel will highlight diverse international perspectives on the above topic. The post-doctoral work will combine multiple disciplines and involve local community groups, government bodies, academic and NGO partners in India working on education, with the long-term aim of convening a collective for wider academic and societal impact.At Brunel, I aim to initiate a theoretical reading group on youth, gender and identities, while firmly locating myself in the Education, Identities and Society research group. I will work with Prof Maria Tsouroufli as my mentor to co-author a new paper and co-edit a special issue for a journal. I will work collaboratively with other colleagues within the Education, Identities and Society research group to produce new research and group working papers. I also aim to work with the Global Lives research centre and collaborate with the Institute of Environment, Health and Societies to develop new research ideas and apply for funding. I will contribute to the social and cultural life at Brunel, along with building its academic reputation globally, by initiating a public lecture series to strengthen the three research groups at the Education Department. I will help strengthen the EdD programme by diversifying curricula and making the programme globally relevant. My strong groundings in feminist, poststructural, postcolonial and decolonial theories will enable diversification of perspectives in research and teaching at Brunel. I aim to be in the academic field of research, more specifically in international development and education. My work has implications for policy and practice in the global South in terms of social justice, equality, social relations and inclusion. These concerns are significant for future research calls arising out of UKRI, ESRC, GCRF and Leverhulme Trust to which I intend to respond through funding proposals. By staying in an internationally inclined research group, my contribution will be to challenge the assumptions made in development discourses about social life, especially in policy, and highlight its implications for decolonisation.

我的目标是在我的博士学位研究和政策工作基于边缘化群体的教育，身份和权利的基础上（Wadhwa等，2010; NCPCR，2011，2012B，2013; Wadhwa，2019年）。我的目标是在全球南部，更具体地说，在印度的全球南部，更具体地参与这项工作。我将在印度的撰写期刊出版物，新的工作论文和会议演讲中更深入地参与印度的农村和土著社区以及国家和公民形成的过程。对于我的博士后工作，我旨在研究如何通过数字媒体和技术使用来形成，持续和抵抗民族身份，并与印度的青年和性别认同有关。我计划通过最初进行有限的文献审查，共同编辑特刊并组织有关该主题的研讨会，与当地的非政府组织和社区守门员建立联系，以进行社区会议和影响活动，并最终申请新的资金以进行未来的研究。在我的博士学位中，我结合了三个理论框架，后结构主义，后殖民和女权主义者，反对现代，自由和西方对概念的理解，从而引起了一种不同的理论化社会世界的方式来实现社会正义。我的目标是在这种理论方法中更坚定地扎根于自己，以国际出版物，文学审查，会议演讲，阅读小组，新资助建议，学术，政策和社区参与的形式进行进一步的学术严格发展和传播。我在这个奖学金中的目的是有条不紊地鼓励一种新的交叉方法来研究教育和身份。这种方法将为探索少数群体的抵抗和颠覆策略提供空间。特别是，布鲁内尔（Brunel）的共同编辑的特刊和为期1天的研讨会将重点介绍上述主题的各种国际观点。博士后的工作将结合多个学科，并涉及当地社区团体，政府机构，学术和非政府组织在印度从事教育的合作伙伴，并长期召集一个集体，以实现更广泛的学术和社会影响力。我将与Maria Tsouroufli教授合作，作为我的导师，共同撰写一份新论文，并共同编辑日记本。我将与教育，身份和社会研究小组中的其他同事合作，生产新的研究和小组工作论文。我还旨在与全球生活研究中心合作，并与环境，卫生和社会研究所合作，以开发新的研究思想并申请资金。我将通过发起公开演讲系列来加强教育部的三个研究小组，为布鲁内尔的社会和文化生活做出贡献。我将通过多样化课程并使该计划在全球范围内进行多样化来帮助加强EDD计划。我在女权主义者，后结构，后殖民和非统治理论方面的强大基础将使Brunel的研究和教学观点多样化。我的目标是在研究的学术领域，更具体地说是在国际发展和教育方面。在社会正义，平等，社会关系和包容方面，我的工作对全球南方的政策和实践具有影响。这些关注点对我打算通过资金提案做出回应的UKRI，ESRC，GCRF和Leverhulme Trust引起的未来研究呼吁非常重要。通过留在一个国际倾向的研究小组中，我的贡献将是挑战发展论述中关于社会生活的假设，尤其是在政策中，并强调了其对非殖民化的影响。
