Phd Scholarship In Digital Mapping Of Homemade
4 days ago
**The Opportunity**
This PhD scholarship is funded to contribute towards an important part of an ARC-funded project Mapping Australian Homemade, Amateur & Do-it-Yourself Cultural Economies conducted by Professor Paul Long, Dr. Delvin Varghese, Associate Professor Shane Homan, Dr Ali Alizadeh and Dr Ash Watson (UNSW).
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 explore and celebrate diverse creative practices including traditional, community-based, and grassroots creativity that may be undervalued in formal cultural economies
The project will innovate methodologically (leveraging methods from human-centred design and digital sociology) to generate and engage publics with research insights through curation, exhibition, and co-production of HADIY creative work created by first nations individuals.
Project 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.
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 co-located between 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) and School of Media, Film and Journalism (Faculty of Arts).
In its assessment, the selection committee will prioritise First Nations applicants who hold an Australian (or equivalent international) Honours or Master's degree (both in a relevant field), with a significant research component and with first-class honours/H1 awarded.
Applicants should ensure they familiarise themselves with these requirements before deciding whether they should apply.
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 October 2025. However, there may be some flexibility as to the date of commencement.
