As a PhD student and member of the Swedish Association for Media and Communication Research (FSMK), you are invited to apply for a scholarship to cover conference registration costs. The association invites PhD students to apply in order to present accepted papers, extended abstracts, panel proposals, workshops or posters. Depending on the number of applicants, FSMK may also grant scholarships for students who participate only to listen/follow others’ conference presentations, without having their own accepted work. 

On May 21st Ingrid Forsler was awarded the FSMK dissertation prize of 2021 for the dissertation Enabling Media: Infrastructures, imaginaries and cultural techniques in Swedish and Estonian visual arts education – publicly defended at Södertörn University, June 5th, 2020. Main supervisor was Associate Professor Michael Forsman at Södertörn University. Opponent: Professor Geoffrey Bowker, UCLA Irvine.

Etableringen av mentorsverksamheten har sin bakgrund i den ojämställdhet som råder i akademin, inklusive det medie- och kommunikationsvetenskapliga fältet. Under försöksperioden HT21-VT23 finansierar FSMK mentorer för fem juniora medie- och kommunikationsvetenskapliga forskare som identifierar sig som kvinnor (MKV- och journalistikforskare). 

Plats: Zoom, koordinerat via LNU, Kalmar. Länk skickas ut dagarna innan.
