Hello all,



The Equity in the Making (EITM) Lab<https://eitm.unc.edu/> at UNC-Chapel Hill's School of Information and Library Science<https://sils.unc.edu/> has an opening for a fully funded Ph.D. student at SILS beginning Fall 2021. Funding is secured through a National Science Foundation (NSF) CAREER Award that will support a graduate student. The project is entitled, "Equity in the Making: Investigating Spatial Arrangements of Makerspaces and Their Impact on Diverse User Populations.<https://sils.unc.edu/news/2020/melo-nsf>"

I am currently recruiting a future doctoral student with research interests in makerspaces, critical making, inclusive and equitable making, and/or virtual reality. This Ph.D. student will join a research team exploring topics connected to the spatial design of makerspaces in academic libraries. I invite applicants with interests across any or all of these areas to apply. Feel free to forward this message along to anyone who may be interested!



If you have questions, please direct them to my personal email, [log in to unmask]<mailto:[log in to unmask]>.



SILS Ph.D. applications are due December 15th, 2020.
