Full time, three years, at Ulster University

Supervised by Dr Giuliana Monteverde

Applications are invited for funded PhD projects in the area of the 
cultural politics of pop culture. Proposals may consider the 
intersections of gender, race, class, disability, sexual orientation, 
gender identity, religion or any other facet of identity, in relation to 
popular culture. In this context, popular culture could include media 
texts (television, film, podcasts, social and digital media, print 
media) and/or a particular facet of pop culture, such as celebrity, 
contemporary feminisms, digital culture, or relevant political concepts.

Research proposals with qualitative methodologies are particularly 
welcome. These projects will use theoretical analysis rather than 
quantitative data collection methods. However, mixed methods projects 
will also be considered.

Proposals that are particularly welcome include the following:

  * Projects that consider popular television genres such as reality TV
    and quality TV
  * Projects that employ critical theory to explore the intersections of
    identity and popular media
  * Projects examining the representation of neurodivergence in popular
    culture
  * Projects that engage with contemporary political debates, including
    fake news, cancel culture, the alt right, and culture wars.
  * Projects on the political economy of digital media, including Elon
    Musk’s takeover of Twitter, popular streaming platforms and their
    content strategies, and the influence of TikTok and Instagram on
    popular culture

Deadline for applications: Monday 26 February 2024
