[Commlist] Funded PhD in Cities, Cinematics and Technologies

*>>>>Funded Interdisciplinary PhD in Cities, Cinematics and Technologies<<<*

The School of Design at the University of Greenwich is announcing a 
fully funded PhD scholarship for an interdisciplinary research project 
exploring the interplay between urban space, visual media and digital 
technologies on a variety of different levels.

The PhD project will review mechanisms by which new technologies can 
change our understanding and experience of cities, as well as the ways 
in which processes of urbanisation shape increasing use of digital 
screens, based on the idea of touch, haptic and interactions. The PhD 
will explore the use of screen media as a methodology to construct 
narratives in and about the cities, as well as tracing the emergence of 
such narratives from the earlier technologies in the 19th and 20th 
centuries.

The PhD project will be open to a range of disciplines, across art, 
architecture, design and social sciences, as well as to wide 
geographical contexts. The project may be pursued through either 
research or practice-based investigations.

Questions/Areas that can be explored within this project include, but 
are not limited to:

  * Cities, screens and non-spaces
  * Digital utopias
  * Creative practice and the city
  * Urban walking on/off/with screen
  * Data, AI, automation and cities

The supervisory team includes Prof Steve Kennedy (Head of School of 
Design), Dr Maria Korolkova (Academic Portfolio Lead Media), and Dr Ed 
Wall (Academic Portfolio Lead Landscape and Urbanism), combining the 
expertise from Media and Landscape portfolios.**

The project will also provide a catalyst from which to establish a new 
research centre, in which the PhD candidate will be expected to take the 
a major role.
