The successful candidate’s PhD project will address narratives emerging 
in social media with an emphasis on marginalized and/or ideology-driven 
voices and communities. The project should use interpretative, 
qualitative methodologies, e.g., ethnography, visual or textual analysis 
etc. We are particularly interested in projects that consider how 
collective narratives shared across social media connect to a sense of 
belonging to or being excluded from a group. Relevance to a Norwegian or 
Nordic context is an advantage. There is some flexibility in the topic 
of the doctoral thesis, which the candidate will develop further in 
collaboration with the leaders of CDN's group for social media.
