Hi folks, Here at QUT our annual scholarships for PhD study are being recruited to and I¹m looking to take on students. If you are in the position to apply please do so and also do pass this message on to anyone you think might be interested too. I¹m interested in working with people across a few areas: € Digital Media, Gender and Sexuality - and more specifically in respect of men¹s lived experiences of the digital in everyday life. € The application of social media to health contexts particularly in relation to health education, behavior change and evaluation methodologies. € Comparative and historically informed analyses of the appropriation of social media platforms that go beyond human agency approaches and engage with the notion of taking the role of technology seriously. A step-by-step guide to the PhD applications process at QUT is located here: http://www.qut.edu.au/study/applying/phd-and-research-degree-applications Please read this and ensure you meet the selection criteria before contacting me. If you fit, then by all means do get in touch with your proposal ideas. The QUT applications deadline for PhD projects starting in 2014 is 13 October 2013. QUT offers a range of scholarships for domestic and international students; while I cannot guarantee that you will be awarded a scholarship, quality PhD projects do stand a good chance of receiving funding support.
