[csaa-forum] PhD scholarship: Religion, Materiality and the African Diaspora in Australia

[Cristina Rocha]

Dear all,

We are advertising a fully-funded PhD scholarship in our ARC Discovery project "The African Diaspora in Australia: New Perspectives on Materiality, Media and Religion." Within this larger project, the PhD candidate will conduct ethnographic research with religious communities of African migrants and refugees in Australia. The PhD project will be developed within the fields of diaspora, globalisation and material religion studies. As such, an ideal candidate will be trained in the social sciences and interested in one or more of these topics:

Material culture, the body, religious experiences, the senses, aesthetics, lived religion, ritual practices, infrastructures (e.g., the city, church buildings), mediatisation (traditional and new media), and transnational and translocal connections.

The PhD candidate will be based in Sydney at the Religion and Society Research Cluster, School of Social Sciences, Western Sydney University.  More details: https://bit.ly/31f0F85

Cheers,
Cristina
