PhD studentship - The Representation of Childbirth and Early Labour: A Multi-Modal Analysis of Media Discourses
Would you like to work with leading scholars in the field of media and midwifery?
We are looking for a PhD candidate who is passionate about media or midwifery and willing to learn about the other. Cultural perceptions and societal attitudes are known to influence women’s decisions about when to enter hospital in labour. The media plays a vital role in contextualizing and re-contextualizing important discourses of the day to its various audiences. Its role is to integrate the audience (members of society) into certain agreed norms, and to continually reinforce these. Media has a social responsibility to report and reflect on social issues in a responsible and ethical manner, yet such a responsibility has not been explored in relation to birth. This PhD studentship will advance our understanding of the relationship between the media, culture and health-related behaviour and develop a media intervention, which will be built around an educational resource for media professionals.
This is a fully-funded PhD studentship which includes a stipend of £14,000 each year to support your living costs. For more information: https://www1.bournemouth.ac.uk/study/courses/phd-studentship-representation-childbirth-early-labour-multi-modal-analysis-media-discourses
Deadline: May 10, 2017.
Starts: September, 2017.
