Pompeu Fabra University invites applications for one PhD student (predoctoral researcher) within the ERC-funded project OPENLIB: Literary reading, public libraries, young people, and inclusive democracies, led by Dr Macarena García-González at the Department of Communication. OPENLIB examines the claim that literary reading may foster more inclusive democracies by focusing on the shifting relationships between young people, cultural materials, and public libraries. The project combines perspectives from children’s literature studies, media studies, childhood studies, and library research, and is organised around four interconnected work packages across four European cities. We are looking for a candidate with a strong interest in the study of literary reading, public libraries, cultural institutions, and questions of democracy, participation, and inclusion. The position is especially suited to someone interested in institutional analysis from a cross-disciplinary and socio-material perspective. The successful candidate should be intellectually curious, methodologically rigorous, and comfortable working across disciplinary traditions and willing to develop doctoral research within a collaborative ERC-funded project under the PhD supervision of Dr. Macarena García González. The successful candidate will contribute to the analysis of public policies and professional discourses related to public libraries, reading promotion, democracy, and exclusion. We particularly welcome candidates with interests in sociology of reading and culture.
