March 13, 2023New graduate school on Multimodality and Intermediality in Sweden announces nine doctoral vacancies
MIDWorld, short for ‘Multimodality and Intermediality: Humanist Research in a Digital World’ is a new graduate school founded in collaboration between Örebro University and Linnaeus University in Sweden. The graduate school is recruiting nine PhD students, five at Örebro University and four at Linnaeus University to begin in September 2023.
The interdisciplinary graduate school MIDWorld is a collaboration between the Centre for Research in the Humanities and the research team in Multimodal Communication at Örebro University and the Centre for Intermedial and Multimodal Studies at Linnaeus University.
The MIDWorld doctoral programme implements humanist research for a digital world. The main goal of the doctoral programme is to provide the next generation humanist researchers with intermedial and multimodal tools to analyse and understand the conditions of communication, media use, learning, work, creation and knowledge distribution in a digitized society and to address the challenges of a digitized society.
MIDWorld builds an interdisciplinary graduate school that offers doctoral students a combined intermedial and multimodal research perspective that draws on a wide range of subjects, including, for example, Language Studies, Literature, Film and Media Studies, History, and Rhetoric, and is further supported by competence in AI and Computer Science.
