*Call for Applications PhD summer course Media Engagement *

Jönköping University Sweden, 18-25 August 2024

*About the Course*

Democracy depends on engaged citizens. And yet, the most powerful 
discourses surrounding engagement are strategically designed to drive 
commercial markets. /As a counterpoint to this horizon, the main purpose 
of this PhD residential course is to understand theories and methods of 
media engagement not as a metric but as a marker of power relations./

This 7.5 credit course offers an international platform for PhD 
researchers to write, present and receive feedback on work in progress 
from global experts on theories and methods for media engagement. The 
course will cover key concepts for engagement, including political and 
public spheres, digital media and AI related technologies, social 
movements and mobilisation, transmedia engagement, and cultural 
citizenship and popular culture.

*Key Highlights*:**Mentoring and networking with world leading scholars 
and international doctoral researchers;**slow thinking, with time to 
write thesis chapters and peer reviewed journal articles;**residential 
setting of Gränna Campus, overlooking the great lake of Vättern, with
