Creating Futures (Project 2) – Exploring young children’s perceptions of the creative industries and future careers in the field Creating Futures (Project 2) – Exploring young children’s perceptions of the creative industries and future careers in the field at University of Dundee University of Dundee  will also explore their experiences of the teaching of the curriculum in relation to the creative industries, particularly in relation to the expressive arts and technology. 

This is an under-researched area and there are therefore a variety of ways that the topic could be approached. We are keen to hear from people with an interest in qualitative and participatory approaches and the bricolage, as well as those with an interest in creative methodologies and methods. An interest in children’s voices in research would also be beneficial.

• We invite applications from strong and motivated candidates who are prepared to take a leading role in the project. We envisage students having a background in Education or a relevant subject (e.g. arts education, the arts, humanities, business and management). 
• The specialisation in the research degree would be in Education, and the project would be suitable for a PhD or a Professional Doctorate (DEd) degree.
