[Commlist] PhD scholarship opportunity: Mapping the ‘K-’ flow via K-Influencers in global social media pop cultures

**
*Mapping the ‘K-’ flow via K-Influencers in global social media pop 
cultures*

This PhD project will examine the K-influencer ecology in the Asia 
Pacific region, by investigating the flow of ‘K-‘ capital (acronym of 
Korean culture) in social media pop cultures. It aims to develop a 
comprehensive understanding of the interactions, tensions, and symbiotic 
relationships between Influencers, industries, governments, and 
technological bodies within the broader social media landscape.

This PhD project will be conducted at the Influencer Ethnography 
Research Lab (IERLab) (https://ierlab.com/ <https://ierlab.com/>), led 
by Professor Crystal Abidin as Director and Dr Jin Lee as a Research 
Fellow and core team member. The IERLab consists of an interdisciplinary 
and international team of social scientists dedicated to examining the 
socio-cultural influence of Influencers. The project will align with the 
ethos of the IERLab by employing a localized, contextualized, and 
multilingual approach, with a specific focus on prioritizing Internet 
research from the Asia Pacific region and Global South.

EOIs are open from *07 July 2023 – 25 August 2023*.

For further information, and for any queries, please contact IERLab 
Director and Project Primary Supervisor Professor Crystal Abidin at 
crystal.abidin[at]curtin.edu.au <http://curtin.edu.au/> well ahead of 
the August 25 2023 EOI due date.
