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

As part of the Media Literacy in the Larger World project, Nick Webber 
is 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
