PhD Scholarships in Communication ScienceThe Department of Communication, Faculty of Humanities at the University of Copenhagen (UCPH) is inviting applications for one three-year PhD scholarship starting on 1 January 2024 or as soon as possible thereafter. The successful candidate will be appointed to the ERC-funded project 'Women in the Nordic Enlightenment (WHENCE). Changing the narratives of early modern philosophy and uncovering women’s contribution to Scandinavian gender equality', led by PI, Associate Professor Sabrina Ebbersmeyer. The core of this project is to bring to light and critically assess women’s intellectual contribution to the Nordic Enlightenment by examining a text corpus consisting of unpublished material and published texts written by more than a hundred women in Scandinavia. The guiding hypothesis is that the Nordic way of women’s Enlightenment significantly differs from developments prevalent in other regions of Europe, and that women played a decisive role in creating a sustainable identification of the Nordic countries with gender equality. The PhD student is expected to investigate women’s moral thought in Denmark-Norway and Sweden during the early modern period with a particular focus on the notions of happiness and education.
