Details

Oxfam Scotland and the University of the West of Scotland have worked together since 2011 within the UWS-Oxfam Partnership. The Partnership is guided by a shared vision for a more equitable, sustainable, and socially just Scotland.

This Funding Call seeks to place civil society organisations (CSO) or community groups working directly with communities that are marginalised or under-represented in decision-making in Scotland at the heart of the work.

The partnership is interested in receiving proposals that address one or both of the following broad themes:

• Better valuing the work that is disproportionately undertaken by women: this includes paid and unpaid work, such as an unpaid care and domestic work’;
• Climate Justice: delivering emission reductions in Scotland fairly and quickly.

The Funding Call will bring the CSO or community group together with UWS academic(s) to develop, shape, and deliver research. The CSO or community group will identify a research topic. These will then be matched with a UWS academic based on their expertise and interest. Where possible, the CSO or community group and academics will then be involved in designing and delivering the research with, ideally, individuals from marginalised communities directly participating in the research.
