Moving Through the Policy Environment: The Political Life of the Nomadism Definition

奖学金的主要目的是建立在博士的成就，为了联合收割机结合我的学术生涯的专业愿望与研究，是在其人类学和方法论的方法，其现实世界的影响方面具有开创性。为了实现这一目标，我的意图是进行后续实地考察，与一系列不同的受众接触，增加我的研究的政策影响，并建立专业网络。通过采用数字和传统的面对面的方法，我的研究旨在研究旅行者游牧民族的社会和政治生活，因为它在地方议会的办公室之间移动，私人和第三部门组织，进入大会委员会;通过法庭，并到旅行者的营地。这项后续研究的目的是为公共、私人和第三部门组织的内部运作提供新的见解，研究这些机构的运作如何影响旅行者和吉普赛人，并探索研究中涉及的潜在方法创新如何在线制定政策环境。 为了进一步了解这些领域的决策，并研究如何改善政策成果可以实现游民和吉普赛人，我还将咨询有关专家在牛津大学的中心移民，政策和社会，并从大学的政策参与网络。此外，该奖学金将用于与我的学者、非政府组织雇员、游民和吉普赛人网络合作并扩大其网络，以建立一个咨询小组。在这方面，目的是将我们的研究材料联合收割机结合起来，汇编一个可供游民和吉普赛人以及代表他们行事的人使用的证据库。这些资源还将用于与地方议会、大伦敦管理局的协商以及学术研究。该研究金还将用于与非政府组织合作，参与并审查伦敦市长在将经修订的游民游牧定义纳入伦敦计划方面取得的进展。此外，在奖学金期间，我的目标是与（并进行调查研究）在英国进行大多数旅行者和吉普赛人需求评估的组织合作，设计更好地反映这些社区的情况和要求的研究材料。 由于奖学金将用于建立我的专业声誉，我打算通过不同的平台传播我的研究，与一系列的观众接触。这将包括在著名的学术期刊上发表，与旅行者和吉普赛人的杰出学者共同编辑一本书，并在国际会议上展示我的研究。关于现实世界的影响，在奖学金期间，我将根据我的调查结果向人权组织提交报告，并在一个由游民/吉普赛非政府组织主办的会议上提交一份以政策为导向的文件。为了确保它能接触到更广泛的受众，我还计划在媒体平台和渠道上传播我的研究。奖学金的另一个目的是寻求我的导师的帮助，与那些在地区和地方政府层面工作的人建立关系，扩大我的专业网络，并朝着我获得永久学术职位的目标迈进。 最后，作为奖学金的总体目标是启动学术生涯，我将花时间开发新的研究课题和问题，申请进一步的早期职业职位，并在牛津大学人类学和博物馆人种学学院和移民，政策和社会中心教授课程。

The main aim of the fellowship is to build on the achievements of the PhD, in order to combine my professional aspirations for an academic career with research that is groundbreaking in terms of its anthropological and methodological approach, and its real-world impact. To achieve this, the intention is to conduct follow-up fieldwork, engage with a range of different audiences, increase the policy impacts of my research, and build professional networks. Through employing digital and conventional face-to-face methods, my research seeks to examine the social and political life of the category of Traveller nomadism as it moves between the offices of local councils, and private and third sector organisations, into assembly committees; through court rooms, and onto Travellers' encampments. The aim of this follow-up research is to provide fresh insights into the inner workings of public, private, and third sector organisations, to examine how the operations of these institutions affect Travellers and Gypsies, and to explore the potential methodological innovations involved in researching how this policymaking environment is enacted online. In order to further understand these areas of policymaking, and to examine how improved policy outcomes can be achieved for Travellers and Gypsies, I will also consult relevant experts at Oxford University's Centre on Migration, Policy, and Society, and from the University's Policy Engagement Network. Additionally, the fellowship will be used to work with and expand my network of scholars, NGO employees, and Travellers and Gypsies, to establish an advisory group. Here, the aim is to combine our research materials and compile an evidence base that can be accessed by Travellers and Gypsies and those acting on their behalf. These resources would also be used in consultations with local councils, the Greater London Authority, and for academic research. The fellowship will also be used to work with NGOs, engaging in and examining the London Mayor's progression towards implementing a modified definition of Traveller nomadism into the London Plan. Additionally, during the fellowship I aim to work with (and conduct investigative research on) the organisation that conducts the majority of Traveller and Gypsy needs assessments in the UK, to design research materials that better reflect the circumstances and requirements of these communities. As the fellowship will be used to build my professional reputation, I intend to engage with a range of audiences by disseminating my research through different platforms. This will consist of publishing in renowned academic journals, co-editing a book with a preeminent scholar of Travellers and Gypsies, and presenting my research at international conferences. Regarding real-world impact, during the fellowship I will submit reports based on my findings to human rights organisations, as well as presenting a policy-oriented paper at a conference hosted by a Traveller/Gypsy NGO. To ensure that it reaches wider audiences, I also plan to disseminate my research on media platforms and outlets. A further aim of the fellowship is to enlist the help of my mentor to build relationships with those working at regional and local levels of government, expand my professional network, and move towards my goal of attaining a permanent academic position. Finally, as the overarching aim of the fellowship is to launch an academic career, I will devote time to developing new research topics and questions, applying for further early career positions, and teaching courses at Oxford's School of Anthropology and Museum Ethnography, and at the Centre on Migration, Policy, and Society.
