The King’s College London Africa Studentships 2023/2024: African Fashion Ph.D. will focus on generating new data on fashion economies relevant to industry and pursue concept-building on lead firms in the global South.

King’s College London envisage the researcher using mixed-methods case study research, including (for example) analysis of industry data, surveys, interviews, focus groups and observations, but these will be defined more specifically during the project. The project will focus on one (or more) African country case/s. This will complement existing case studies conducted by the supervisors (Nigeria, Kenya).

The supervisors have established partners in South Africa, including SACO (South Africa Cultural Observatory), which would facilitate a research focus on South Africa. However, the team are open to exploring alternative contexts.
