Scholarship description
This project will capture the changes that have occurred as a result of the accelerating rates of immigration from South Asia in the last 30-40 years, which accounts for Hinduism currently being the fastest growing religion in Australia. Islam, Sikhism and Jainism are also important dimensions for consideration. The central problem in this study will be assessing the factors that have influenced how South Asian communities within Queensland have established and maintained religious practices in various community settings. It will include an assessment of transnational identities, social hubs and networks, and civic participation.
This project will be supervised by Dr Adam Bowles and Dr Patrick Jory. Please contact Dr Bowles and/or Dr Jory with any questions.
The successful applicant will enrol through the School of Historical and Philosophical Inquiry.
This PhD scholarship is one of four under the Queensland Atlas of Religion project.
