The CPC investigates alternative forms for society in the 21st
century. Exploring issues of collaboration, community, and the
commons, the Centre facilitates new articulations of culture that
call for a radical rethinking of the relationship between the human,
technology, economy and the environment. Along with conventional
arts and humanities methods, we support PhD projects adopting a
range of mixed methods, including various practice-orientated
methodologies, visual argumentation, case studies and ethnography.<br>
<br>
We encourage applications from suitably qualified candidates keen on
developing a doctoral research in any of the following research
areas:<br>
<ul>
<li>Digital Arts, Humanities and Posthumanities</li>
<li>Affirmative Disruption and Open Media</li>
<li>Data Cities and the Politics of Care</li>
<li>Art, Space and the City</li>
<li>Immersive Cultures and International Heritage</li>
<li>AI and Algorithmic Cultures</li>
</ul>
