[ecrea] University of Tasmania MONA Elite PhD Scholarship

University of Tasmania Elite PhD Scholarship Opportunity

Australian Research Council funded Linkage Project - Creating the Bilbao 
Effect: The Museum of Old and New Art (MONA) and the Social and Cultural 
Coordinates of Urban Regeneration Through Arts Tourism ($32,892pa tax-free)

We are seeking applications to this high profile and exciting new 
project from students with a range of possible backgrounds including 
social anthropology, tourist studies, sociology, urban studies, cultural 
studies, human geography, regional studies and others, and with 
interests in cultural tourism, art tourism, cultural policy, cultural 
and creative industries and tourism theory. They will be based in the 
Faculty of Arts at the University of Tasmania with excellent access to 
MONA and key tourism organisations and sites. They will join a team of 
two other PhDs and one Research Associate attached to the project.  Here 
is an opportunity to conduct research within a major Australian Research 
Council Linkage Project with enthusiastic industry partners.

You will work with mostly with Prof Adrian Franklin on the nature of 
tourism to MONA and its impact on the wider tourism field. We are 
interested in understanding how tourists engage with MONA (at its main 
museum as well as its various arts and music activities) and how its 
success might built on by other tourism sectors, particularly nature 
tourism and heritage tourism.

The project is led by Prof. Adrian Franklin (University of Tasmania) 
with fellow Chief Investigators Prof. Justin O’Connor (Monash 
University) and Prof. Nikos Papastergiadis (University of Melbourne). 
Industry partners are MONA itself, Hobart City Council, Glenorchy City 
Council and the Tasmanian Department of Economic Development, Tourism 
and Arts.
