Application

Ideally, the School is meant for master and PhD students who wish to learn digital methods and apply them to their research project in the field of consumer culture. Of course, the School welcomes any other kind of scholar and/or professional who wish to approach the digital methods paradigm (e.g., scholars not interested in consumer culture will easily apply the methodological models learnt during the Summer School to their field of expertise, such as political communication, sociology of health, etc.).

The School will host a maximum of 30 participants.

To participate in the Summer School candidates must send their applications at this email address: laura.bruschi@unimi.it, by 6 June 2025. Applications must entail a CV and presentation letter, containing: a) brief bio; b) interests of research; c) motivation to participate in the Summer School.
