Project 1: Humanities Blog​

As part of this post, you (x2) will develop a School of Humanities blog that will provide a platform for our student community (BA, MA, Ph.D.) to produce content (text, audio, video) for the general public, e.g., coursework rewritten for non-specialist audiences, interviews, reviews of books/exhibitions/films/shows, reflections on work placements, educational trips, archival/field research, etc.

The tasks, which will be conducted under the supervision of one academic member of staff, include: designing, testing, and editing an inclusive and accessible blog; conducting audience research among undergraduate and postgraduate students in the School of Humanities; writing author guidelines; producing the first two blog posts (one per post holder); liaising with other students in the School of Humanities in order to publish a batch of posts (a minimum of 6 posts, including contributions from MA and Ph.D. students). You will develop skills in blog and website production, audience research, project management, content writing and editing, digital publishing, and public engagement.

The blog will offer our student community an experience in online publishing and public engagement, and, thus, serve to consolidate students’ learning, to develop their employability skills, and to help them produce valuable content for their CVs.
