Phd Scholarship in Mapping Australian Homemade

Caulfield, Victoria, Australia Monash University Full time

The Opportunity


This PhD scholarship is funded as an important part of an ARC funded project
Mapping Australian Homemade, Amateur & Do-it-Yourself Cultural Economies conducted by Professor Paul Long, Associate Professor Shane Homan, Dr Ali Alizadeh, Dr Delvin Varghese, Dr Ash Watson (UNSW) and Dr Tom Bartindale (University of Northumbria, UK).


The PhD will form a vital part of a project that aims to fill a significant gap in the Australian Government's National Cultural Policy to 'Revive' the cultural sector while affirming 'First Nations First' and ensuring that there will be 'A Place for Every Story'.

The project aims to reveal the overlooked practices of non-professional creativity: the homemade, amateur, and do-it-yourself (HADIY).

The project will innovate methodologically to generate and engage publics with research insights through curation, exhibition, and co-production of HADIY creative work.

Protect outcomes include enabling digital mapping of the practices of the 45% of Australians who participate in the arts as producers of forms such as poetry, music and fine art and their relationship with the professional cultural and creative industries.

Led by Monash, the three-year interdisciplinary project brings together academics in media, creative industries, cultural studies, sociology, and human-centered computing.

The successful applicant will join the research team and contribute to the wider project but will also undertake their own distinct PhD project.

The details of the PhD project are open to negotiation, but we are particularly interested in innovative proposals focussed on creativity, cultural identity and issues of either (i) social marginalisation and inclusion; (ii) regional Australia; or (iii) digital participation.

Monash University is the largest university in Australia and regularly ranks in the top 100 universities worldwide. Monash has six globally networked campuses and international alliances in Europe and Asia.

The applicant will be based at the Caulfield campus in Melbourne as part of the School of Media, Film and Journalism and connected to Action Lab in the Faculty of Information Technology, a multidisciplinary team of impact-focused researchers working at the intersection of communities, technology and social innovation.

We have a strong and supportive research culture, led by internationally recognised scholars successful in attracting national and international competitive funding.


In its assessment, the selection committee will prioritise applicants who hold an Australian (or equivalent international) Honour's or Master's degree (both in a relevant field), with a significant research component and with first-class honours/H1 awarded.

Scholarship holders must be enrolled full-time and on campus

Please note:
applicants who already hold a PhD will not be considered.

The successful applicant will be expected to enrol by
August 2024. However, there may be some flexibility as to the date of commencement.
