MSCA Doctoral Network DEMINE – Openings for doctoral candidates
Job
The DEMINE (DEaling with conflicts related to MIgration: NEgotiating social cohesion through communication) European Joint Doctorate (DN-JD) network addresses the challenge of radicalisation and extremism that threatens social cohesion in Europe. By integrating inter-sectoral mobility and a balanced mix of research and transferable skills, DEMINE aims to develop a framework for understanding the role of interpersonal and mediated communication in intergroup relations and migration-related conflicts. This innovative programme explores the impact of traditional media, social media, and interpersonal interactions on attitudes toward migration and social cohesion. It focuses on the dynamics of political and societal polarisation and radicalisation, providing insights into how these processes affect society. The DEMINE consortium will train nine doctoral candidates across various disciplines, including political science, communication, journalism studies, linguistics, psychology, social data analytics, sociology, anthropology, and education science/media literacy. The training will address socially unacceptable extreme discourse that leads to populist attitudes and societal polarisation. Additionally, it will measure the impact of mediated and interpersonal communication expressions that aim to create societal divisions and ostracise specific communities.
