Colleagues,
We have two funded PhD studentships here at Loughborough. This is the second wave of studentships, as part of a new interdisciplinary centre we’ve set up, the Online Civic Culture Centre (O3C). If you have talented students who are seeking funding for their doctoral research I’d be grateful if you would alert them to this message. Also, do of course feel free to distribute it more widely.
