Europe in Motion: Charting Changing Media Spaces and Policy in Europe
Applications are sought from any research area 
that engages with the issues and concerns of the 
Europe in Motion project. You will explore some 
aspects of media and cultural transformation in 
the context of enlarged Europe. Possible areas of 
research include transnational migration 
practices and their implications for media and 
cultural spaces in Europe; media policy in the 
context of wider contemporary cultural policy 
developments in Europe; transnational 
developments in Eastern European media; media and 
cosmopolitanism. A principal objective of the 
project is to move beyond conventional media 
policy agendas, and to open up new and innovative 
perspectives concerning media and the new 
European space. Candidates are expected to submit 
a fully developed research proposal that would be 
also attentive to the objectives of the 
Goldsmiths Media Research Programme: Spaces, 
Connections, Controls. Candidates must 
demonstrate outstanding qualities and be 
motivated to complete a PhD in 3 years.
