[csaa-forum] Closing Soon: UNSW Scientia PhD on Living with Pervasive Media Technologies

[Michael Richardson]

Dear Colleagues,

Apologies for repeat and cross-posting, but the deadline for submissions for the current round of UNSW Scientia PhD’s is closing soon and this is an excellent opportunity for an outstanding student to undertake higher degree research.

The University of New South Wales, Sydney, is offering a Scientia PhD scholarship to research "Living with Pervasive Media Technologies from Drones to Smart Homes." The successful applicant will receive a full scholarship, including tuition and $40k stipend p.a., research support and mentoring, and will be working with a supervisory team including myself, Andrew Murphie and Heather Ford.

Living with Pervasive Media Technologies from Drones to Smart Homes

Digital assistants, smart devices, drones and other autonomous and artificial intelligence technologies are rapidly changing work, culture, cities and even the intimate spaces of the home. They are 21st century media forms: recording, representing and acting, often in real-time. This project investigates the impact of living with autonomous and intelligent media technologies. It explores the changing situation of media and communication studies in this expanded field. How do these media technologies refigure relations between people and the world? What policy challenges do they present? How do they include and exclude marginalized peoples? How are they transforming media and communications themselves?

More details are available here, including a link to apply: https://www.2025.unsw.edu.au/apply/scientia-phd-scholarships/living-pervasive-media-technologies-drones-smart-homes

Scientia PhDs are open for Expressions of Interest from now until 20 July 2018 to Australian as well as International applicants, with further information here: https://www.2025.unsw.edu.au/apply/

Michael
