International Course Educational Programme Production;

International Course Educational Programme Production (Radio/Telvision)
12 week course from
September 14th – December 4th, 2009
RNTC application deadline: 15th January 2009
Embassy NFP application deadline: 1st March 2009
NFP application deadline:1st April 2009
The deadline for non-fellowship applicants is July 1st, 2009

Further information please contact: liza.marsin@nesoindonesia.or.id

Course Aims
The course aims to strengthen the capacity of educational broadcasters
to design and produce attractive and effective educational programmes
and multimedia material for, with and by children, on issues to do
with children and development.

Rights of the child
The Convention on the Rights of the Child is a universally agreed set
of non-negotiable standards and obligations that has been ratified by
192 countries. It spells out the basic human rights that children
everywhere – without discrimination – have: the right to survival; the
right to develop to the fullest; the right to be protected from
harmful influences, abuse and exploitation; and the right to
participate fully in family, cultural and social life. With these
rights comes the notion of the responsibility we have to create a
world in which our children can thrive and grow, and contribute to the
further development of our societies.

`Vessels to be filled”
Everyday reality is, however, much more grim. Many children see
themselves challenged by poverty, disease, violence, abuse, or
conflict – often related to the difficulties their families face due
to economic development and social disintegration. There are growing
demands on children to cope for themselves, to compete, and to measure
up to the expectations placed on them by family, friends and society.
In all of this there is a tendency to see children solely as victims
or, at best, as passive players on a stage they will only fully occupy
once they have become adults; to see them in the analogy of Plato as
`vessels to be filled’ rather than `fires to be lit.’

Participating in decision-making
Yet the fact is that children are more than capable of articulating
their own desires, needs, opinions, and of participating in the
decision-making which will shape their lives in the immediate and in
the longer term.
What is more, a society which does not understand this is denying its
own potential, and is the poorer for it.
For people working in the broadcast media this has important
implications, not least because today an increasingly important part
of childhood and of the experiences of children as they grow into
adults is what is learned through radio, television and the internet.

Challenge for broadcasters
The challenge for broadcasters and educators alike is to make
educational programmes and materials, whether they be entertaining and
educative in a general way or more closely linked to formal learning,
which engage and involve children in the way they learn about the
world, and encourage their active participation; programmes made not
just for children, but also by and with children.

Educational formats
Participants will be exposed to a variety of educational formats
targeting children, with special attention being given to the
complementary use of media (radio, television, internet, print) to
achieve educational objectives.
A target audience approach will be used with participants having to
define and formulate appropriate educational objectives for the
relevant age and target group. They will learn to produce effective
educational radio and television programmes and internet materials to
achieve those objectives, as well as consider ways to measure their
success or failure. In this process attention will be given to the
opportunities and the challenges presented by collaboration between
broadcasters and those outside the media with specialised knowledge
and an interest in or influence on the education of children and young
people.

Hands-on
As well as attending sessions devoted to reinforcing and developing
their knowledge and skills in the field of educational programme
research and production, participants will be sent out on programme
assignments and working visits to appropriate locations in the
Netherlands. In course sessions and assignments emphasis will be
placed on broadening the participants’ understanding of development
issues relevant to children and young people in their societies and of
how these can be treated in educational broadcasting and on the internet.
Throughout the course the participants will use professional broadcast
recording and editing facilities and equipment, as well produce their
written work on computers linked to the internet for research and
email. Where appropriate participants from radio and from television
will work together.

Requirements
Applicants should be mid-career programme-makers working in the field
of educational broadcasting. They should have, as a minimum, secondary
education/professional education or training in media and a good
command of the course language: English (written and spoken).

Beasiswa Wartawan Jurnalis di Belanda

Broadcast Journalism on Social Conflict and Cohesion
International Course Broadcast Journalism (Radio/TV)
Theme: Social Conflict and Cohesion
12 week course from
February 2nd – April 24th, 2009

RNTC application deadline: 15th August 2008
Embassy NFP application deadline: 1st October 2008
The deadline for non-fellowship applicants is November 15th, 2008

Further information please contact: liza.marsin@nesoindonesia.or.id

Course Aims:
To strengthen the capacity of broadcast journalists and the
organisations they work for to research, investigate and report for
broadcast and new media in a responsible and ethical way on issues
that divide individuals and groups in their countries and thereby
(potentially) threaten social cohesion.

Role of the media in changing societies
Societies in development are societies undergoing change. Inherent in
such a process of change is the potential for tension and conflict
among individuals and groups in society. Some of this potential for
tension and conflict may be the reflection of longstanding divisions -
political, religious, ethnic. Some will have more to do with a
circumstantial clash of interests – for instance between the old and
the new (tradition versus modernity) and between individuals and
groups competing for greater influence and prosperity in the society
that is evolving. Broadcast journalists and the organisations they
work for have an important role to play here; they have to ensure that
the great issues of concern to their societies and the attendant
debates are given attention to and that the voices and views of those
involved are heard.

Integrity and credibility
They also have to be prepared to tackle controversial issues which are
not being given the attention they deserve and by so doing help set
the political agenda. But they also have a responsibility to do so
without exacerbating existing divisions or threatening the social
cohesion of the societies they serve. To achieve this, the maintenance
of their integrity and of their credibility as broadcast journalists
is crucial; they may not be perceived as representing certain
population or interest groups at the expense of others. In addition
they must develop the journalistic knowledge and skills they need to
investigate and present potentially divisive issues accurately and in
a balanced non-partisan way.

Investigative research and analysis
The courses will focus on the role, responsibility and requirements of
the broadcast journalist in meeting this challenge. Special attention
will be given to developing and putting into practice the appropriate
knowledge and skills for (investigative) research and analysis and for
the production of various broadcast and internet assignments as well
as to other essential broadcast journalism skills such as
interpretation, speed and accuracy under pressure, communication and
teamwork. There will be a considerable measure of interaction and
exchange of knowledge and skills between radio and television.

Multimedia
Course participants will work with analogue and digital technology for
radio and television and be involved in the design and development of
material for an Internet site related to the theme and focus of the
course. As well as attending sessions devoted to developing their
knowledge and skills in the field of news and current affairs
participants will be sent out on assignments to various locations in
the Netherlands linked to the theme of social conflict and cohesion
and to the role and responsibility of the broadcast journalist in this
field. After leaving the Netherlands at the end of the course
participants will become part of a network of journalists and other
experts through RNTC’s website, intended to foster co-operation and
the further exchange of ideas and experience in the field of broadcast
journalism.

Investigating choice and consumption in a health care context

Supervisor: Dr Ewen Speed

I am interested in supervising doctoral students who are interested in topics in and around issues of consumption in relation to healthcare. Students should be interested in exploring any aspect of consumerism and consumption from a sociological (or closely related) context. My interests lie particularly in qualitative approaches to the study of the development of principles of ‘choice’ in relation to health care provision, and how this issue of choice might be related to bigger changes within health care provision, and indeed to bigger social processes of New Public Management (NPM) and Neo-liberalism. In a related context, I would also be interested in supervising students with an interest in the commodification or marketisation of health care, and the role of rubrics of ‘quality’ in these processes, again in relation to NPM and neo-liberalism.

PhD Scholarship in Agent-Based Modeling, UNSW, Australia

PhD Scholarship in Agent-Based Modeling of Business Relations and Networks

ARC Agent-Based Modeling of Business Relations and Networks grant

School of Marketing, The University of New South Wales

Overview

Applications are invited for a scholarship to undertake a PhD in the
School of Marketing at the Australian School of Business at the
University of New South Wales. The research will form part of an
Australian Research Council funded project to develop agent-based
models of the development and evolution of business relations and
networks in industrial markets.

The successful applicant will work under the supervision of the
research project’s Chief Investigators: Professor Ian Wilkinson of
the School of Marketing and Professor Robert Marks of the Australian
Graduate School of Management and School of Economics at the
University of New South Wales and Professor Louise Young of the School
of Marketing at the University of Technology Sydney. These are
leading international researchers in the area of business marketing
and economics with extensive backgrounds in the study of business
relations and networks, as well as expertise in modeling. They have
strong links with prominent researchers in the agent-based modeling
field around the world.

Skills and Qualifications Required

We are looking for a person with high-level computer science
qualifications (First or Upper Second Class honours or equivalent) and
skills, especially in the area of agent-based modeling, to work on the
project. This would include expertise in object-oriented programming
languages, such as Java and/or C++, as well as familiarity with
agent-based modeling platforms (e.g. Mason, Repast, Netlogo). We
would give preference to an applicant who also had some high-level
disciplinary-relevant knowledge and educational qualifications in
marketing, business, economics or another relevant discipline. But,
because a combination of relevant computer science skills and
disciplinary knowledge is rare, our primary focus is on the computing
skills plus a willingness to apply these in the area of business.
This may mean that the successful applicant will be required to
undertake a program of study to equip them with necessary disciplinary
knowledge to undertake the research and to fulfill the requirements of
a PhD in the School of Marketing. High-level communication and
writing skills in English are also essential.

The scholarship is available for local and international students for
three years full-time enrolment in the PhD program and provides the
scholar with a tax-exempt stipend of AUD$30,000 per annum.

The successful candidate would be expected to commence the PhD in mid
year 2008.

To apply, please submit your CV, academic transcripts, a summary of
your research interests and strengths related to the research and two
academic referee reports to Professor Ian F. Wilkinson
(i.wilkinson@unsw.edu.au). Application close: April 5, 2008

Further Enquiries

Please contact Professor Ian F. Wilkinson (i.wilkinson@unsw.edu.au),
