I regularly see opportunities like small grants, fellowships, or funding that isn’t appropriate for the Tor Project itself, but may be relevant to people or organizations in the ecosystem.
I’ve struggled with how to share these opportunities in a way that isn’t creating too much noise, but is getting these opportunities into the hands of people who might be able to take advantage of them.
So! I’ve decided to start this thread where I can share these opportunities. (And others can contribute of course!)
The Luxembourg Centre for Contemporary and Digital History (C²DH) invites applications for the Digital Global South Fellowship (DGSF), a fully virtual, four-week residency dedicated to advancing Public History.
I’m sharing this specifically because of this year’s themes, which could have overlap with work on Tor, digital rights, internet freedom, censorship…
Media (Newspaper, Radio, TV, Propaganda): Critical studies on how colonial narratives and stereotypes are represented and perpetuated within various media formats, with particular attention to print journalism. This topic also includes investigations into the mechanisms, forms, and enduring impact of colonial propaganda in shaping public opinion and policy.
Origins of Colonial Stereotypes in Contemporary Media: Research on how persistent colonial stereotypes continue to shape and influence contemporary media coverage, especially newspapers, and how these patterns can be identified, challenged, and transformed.
Artificial Intelligence and Digital History: Projects that leverage AI tools and digital methodologies for the analysis and reinterpretation of colonial archives, narratives, and propaganda.
Cultural Heritage: Explorations of tangible and intangible cultural heritage, including sites, collections, traditions, and their contemporary significance.
Let us know if you apply and plan to work on something Tor-related.
I not planning anything in that field. I only operate a Snowflake proxy. There are many terms in that link also mentioned here which should be defined such as:
colonial narratives, colonial stereotypes, colonial propaganda. I’m especially curious about “reinterpretation of colonial archives, narratives, and propaganda”.
I can guess but am I right? Probably am.
I just asked AI about “colonial narratives”. I guessed right.
There are two sides. The colonizers and the colonized. In the USA, a synonym for traitor is Benedict Arnold. (these are fighting words). They were the colonized then. Benedict Arnold stood by (his) king and country. Is that a traitor? Sure sounds like a patriot. Who was right?
