Doctoral student in Media and Communication Studies, Malmö University
This PhD position is for a student to join the Living Archives project
funded by the Swedish Research Council's programme "Digitalized
Society". The 4 year collaborative, interdisciplinary project is based
at Medea (http://medea.mah.se) and involves researchers from the
faculties of Culture & Society, Technology & Society and Education &
Society. It is structured through the parallel and complementary
research strands of Open Data and Performing Memory. We will examine,
analyse and create prototypes for how archives can become a social
resource, be integral in creating social change, cultural awareness
and collective collaboration. We aim to open the process of archiving
to embrace contemporary practices around open data, performance,
mobile media, and gaming. The PhD student will gain experience of
working collaboratively with other researchers and establish contacts
both nationally and internationally. We encourage interested
applicants to consult the details of the Living Archives project found
