3. Fully Funded PhD Position in Deafblindness and its psychosocial impact: lived experiences, human rights and the social work and social care response
Summary of PhD Program:
The World Federation of the Deafblind (2018) estimates that between 0.2% and 2% of the global population is deafblind. In the UK, around 393,588 people are currently thought to be deafblind, with this number expected to increase to 610,693 by 2035 (Operational Research in Health, 2017). Deafblindness makes it difficult for individuals to rely on one sense to make up for the loss of the other, leading to greater challenges in daily functioning. The psychosocial effects of the condition are reported to be substantial, but our understanding of the psychosocial impact of deafblindness remains limited.
Application Deadline: 17th September 2025
4. Fully Funded PhD Position in Deafblind Services Since 1928: Interpreting the Past to Inform the Future
Summary of PhD Program:
This PhD project offers the opportunity to examine the history of service provision for deafblind people, focusing on the UK within an international context. Candidates may come from a range of academic disciplines and adopt different approaches to this examination, but should determine how the past should inform future planning: what lessons can be learnt. Possible areas of investigation include deafblind people’s own understanding of their history, and examination of the development of different approaches to support for this population, such as community development rather than traditional disability support (see, for example, Hallinan et al., 2025).
