I am blind and I live in Sweden. I finished my master degree in sociology last year and my master thesis got the title: Impeded: on the negative treatment of assistance and guide dog users in Sweden.<o:p></o:p></p>

Since then I have tried to find Swedish universities that would let me do a PHD on disability hate crimes in Sweden. Disability is not included in the Swedish hate crime definition, and I believe that will not change until there is some research in this area.
I have applied to about five universities but so far nobody seems interested. <o:p>

I have found a site where I can search for PHD opportunities in THE UK, and another Site with PHD-opportunities in other European countries. Do you know if there are similar sites for PHD-opportunities in English speaking countries such as The US, Canada, Australia
and so on? Do you know if there is anybody specialized in disability hate crimes I should contact?<o:p></o:p></p>
