[Commlist] PhD studentship at University of the Arts London (UAL)

We invite applications for a PhD studentship at University of the Arts 
London (UAL) to work on a project on “Understanding social media 
disinformation and war propaganda through the historical archive”, 
supervised by Dr. Felipe Soares 
<https://researchers.arts.ac.uk/2471-felipe-soares>.

This project aims to understand contemporary practices of disinformation 
and war propaganda on social media through comparison with war 
propaganda from historical archives linked to the First and Second World 
Wars. This project will broadly explore the following question: How can 
we better understand and contextualise contemporary practices of war 
propaganda on social media through the investigation of WWI and WWII 
historical archives?

The PhD student will be based at London College of Communication and 
work in partnership with the Imperial War Museum Institute.

The studentships cover fees at the UK Home rate and a tax-free stipend 
at the UKRI rate for three years full time or six years part time, pro 
rata for part-time (2025/26 full time rate £22,780). Students with an 
‘overseas’ fee status can apply but will need to cover the difference 
between the UK and overseas fees rate (2025/26 home rate £6620/overseas 
£26310), and will be required to reside in the UK until completion of 
the PhD.

Please review the following link for more information about the project 
and how to apply:
