CALL FOR APPLICATIONS
FULLY FUNDED PhD SCHOLARSHIP AT THE SCHOOL OF MEDIA & COMMUNICATION [SMC] PAN-ATLANTIC UNIVERSITY [PAU] IBEJU-LEKKI, LAGOS.
A fully funded PhD scholarship in Film Studies is available under the cooperation between the Pan-Atlantic University [Lagos, Nigeria] and Goethe Universität, Frankfurt. The scholarship is offered within the framework of the interdisciplinary research project, Cultural Entrepreneurship and Digital Transformation in Africa and Asia [CEDITRAA], which is funded by Bundesministerium für Bildung und Forschung.
The scholarship is tenable at the School of Media and Communication [SMC] Pan-Atlantic University [PAU], Ibeju Lekki; with research opportunities at the School’s Nollywood Study Centre.
Aim/objectives of the scholarship
The aim/objectives of the scholarship are contextualized within the over-all aim/objectives of PhD studies at the Pan-Atlantic University—i.e. ‘To contribute more fully to the cultural and creative industries through the dialectical process of interfacing conceptual/theoretical knowledge with practical experience where academic and industry-focused approaches to learning converge.’
Within this general context, the scholarship will specifically seek to contribute to and expand the sustainable framework that interrogates the inter-related issues of how Nollywood responds to the vectors of creativity, economics, ethics and technology; how Nollywood creates value, distributes value and earns value; and how Nollywood is integrating into the knowledge economy. In particular, the scholarship will seek to contextualize Nollywood’s practice of virtual reality against perceived international best practices.
