[Commlist] Two fully funded PhD opportunities at Birmingham City University

As part of the Media Literacy in the Larger World project, I’m very 
happy to be able to share two fully funded PhD studentship opportunities 
here at BCU. These are offered in collaboration with our partner Meedan 
– a US tech non-profit which works on media verification and digital 
media literacy – and are funded by the Swedish International Development 
Cooperation Agency, Sida. These projects concern technology-facilitated 
gender-based violence (PhD in Linguistics), and election misinformation 
(PhD in Media and Cultural Studies), and draw on Meedan’s extensive 
network of international partners, and data produced from election 
fact-checking processes. Please share widely! And please also note that 
these studentships are only open to citizens of countries on the DAC 
list of ODA recipients 
(https://www.oecd.org/en/topics/sub-issues/oda-eligibility-and-conditions/dac-list-of-oda-recipients.html 
<https://www.oecd.org/en/topics/sub-issues/oda-eligibility-and-conditions/dac-list-of-oda-recipients.html>) 
and that the funding covers international fee rates.

Applications are currently open, and close on 30 September 2024. You can
