hello, everyone,
The University of Edinburgh and National Galleries of Scotland are seeking a doctoral student for an AHRC-funded Collaborative Doctoral Partnership award, 'Unlike a Version: the lives of digitised artworks'. https://www.ed.ac.uk/education/graduate-school/studentships/doctoral-awards/unlike-a-version
Cultural heritage organisations can neglect the significance and potential of their digital objects. This project starts from the position that digitised objects are not merely versions of the ‘real thing’ – they have meaning and value in their own right, and significance for sharing, interpretation, connection and inspiration. The research will explore the meanings and movements of digitised artworks in the context of the National Galleries of Scotland’s collections. It will develop a rich picture of digital objects and how they contribute to the shifting boundaries of the institution, to curatorial practice, and to the National Galleries of Scotland’s ambitions to open more of its collection to digital re-use.
The project will be supervised by Dr Jen Ross (Digital Education, University of Edinburgh), Christopher Ganley (Content & Design Manager, National Galleries of Scotland), Màiri Lafferty (Daskalopoulos Curator of Engagement, National Galleries of Scotland), and Professor Melissa Terras (Centre for Data, Culture and Society, University of Edinburgh).
Application deadline is 3 May 2019 (12pm). Eligible to UK/EU students. Covers UK/EU fees plus stipend.
Please feel free to contact me with any questions!
Dr Jen Ross, Senior Lecturer, University of Edinburgh
Co-director, Centre for Research in Digital Education
