[ecrea] Persona, Celebrity, Publics Research Group invitation to apply for the Endeavour Scholarship and Fellowship Awards

The Persona, Celebrity, Publics Research Group (PCP) at Deakin 
University, Melbourne, Australia, invites domestic and international 
students interested in PhD or postdoctoral research to apply for an 
Endeavour Scholarship or Fellowship:

Endeavour Scholarships and Fellowships are internationally competitive, 
merit-based scholarships provided by the Australian Government that 
support citizens of the Asia-Pacific, the Middle East, Europe and the 
Americas to undertake study, research and professional development 
programmes in Australia and for Australians to undertake these 
programmes overseas. The Endeavour Scholarships and Fellowships 
programme forms part of the Australia Awards initiative established in 
2009, which brings together under one banner scholarships offered by the 
Department of Education (the Department), Department of Foreign Affairs 
and Trade and the Australian Centre for International Agricultural Research.

PCP is an inter-disciplinary research group that explores the way modern 
identities are formed and shaped, and how the public is newly 
constituted. It focuses on persona studies, celebrity culture, and the 
intersections between the private and public in the modern world.
