10.01.2022 We have three PhD scholarships going to work on Wunungu Awara (Animation project) 1) Watching, Listening, and Telling: Digital animations and the production of Indigenous knowledges. The proposed PhD project will examine the impact of digital storytelling in terms of cultural and linguistic education. The candidate will be an Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander who will work closely with the Wunungu Awara team and use the extant animations as the basis for analysis. The ca...ndidate would be expected to have strong skills in linguistics and education. 2) Teaching and Learning: evaluating the impact of digital resources in classroom settings. Initial work has anecdotally revealed the value of the Wunungu Awara animations. In addition to exploring the possible pedagogical imperatives, this thesis will examine the role of visual resources in Indigenous and mainstream education. The candidate will have an educational, possibly teaching background. 3) Visual Displays: the materiality of digital resources. The Wunungu Awara animations have produced images of landscapes, animals, people and artefacts. The PhD research topic will examine the materiality of these features and working with the Melbourne Museum collection explore the ways that animations can assist in the cultural revival of objects as well as languages. The candidate will have an archaeology, anthropology, material culture, or museum studies background. We are more than happy to discuss any of these topics with would be candidates. All candidates will be supervised by Professor Russell and Associate Professor John Bradley, and relevant staff from other Faculties and Institutions. CONTACT: [email protected]
