The School of Media Communications & Sociology at the University of Leicester has some UK and International PhD tuition fee waivers available, for specific research interests that align with our staff (outlines below). I’d be very grateful if you could circulate to any interested parties and encourage potential applicants to apply. Deadline 14^th September for January Intake.

*Dr. Kester Demmar**(kester.demmar /at/ leicester.ac.uk) * <mailto:(kester.demmar /at/ leicester.ac.uk)>

Dr. Kester Demmar is interested in supervising research projects within journalism, specifically but not exclusively; media and technology,  veracity of news content in a world of social media, on/off screen representation (ethnicity and gender) within the media and media content. His interests also include, murder as television news content, live television news broadcasting, the role of technology within journalism and police and the media.

*Dr. Ed Vollans**(ev60 /at/ leicester.ac.uk) * <mailto:(ev60 /at/ leicester.ac.uk)>

Dr. Ed Vollans researches the impact of the film trailer as a cultural object globally. This includes historical studies of the trailer, aesthetics, reception, or industrial creative or regulatory contexts. Extending this, work may consider the promotional trailer across geographic and regulatory territories, and the entertainment industry generally, including trailers for other entertainment products (television, videogames, theatre, books, etc.), as well as fan reception and participatory culture therein.

*Dr. Timothy Neff**(timothy.neff /at/ leicester.ac.uk) * <mailto:(timothy.neff /at/ leicester.ac.uk)>

Dr. Timothy Neff looks forward to supervising projects on journalism, national media systems, media ownership, and public engagement with social problems. In particular, he has researched differences in news coverage of climate change and has studied how public media funding levels and structural protections strengthen democracies. He is interested in (but not restricted to!) students using social network analysis, content analysis, topic modeling, and ethnography as their research methods.
