Overview
The OII's annual Summer Doctoral Programme (SDP) brings together students from around the world for up to three weeks of study with leading academics in the field of Internet Studies, and provides an academic framework in which to share and discuss students' current research.
We hope to stretch the thinking of all students on a range of issues central to the work of the Institute through seminars and lectures, to provide valuable advice and support for students' own thesis research, and to establish a peer network of excellent early-stage researchers.
Academic Programme
Teaching is structured around lectures and seminars. Students have the opportunity to present their research to their peers in these seminars, with break-out sessions allowing groups to focus more narrowly on research questions of mutual interest. Time is made available for individual research and informal contact with tutors and fellow students. The first two Programmes, held in Oxford in 2003 and 2004, covered an extensive range of theoretical, methodological and empirical material. The 2005 Programme (held in Beijing, China) extended this model, with a greater emphasis on empirical and cross-national work that highlights the changing global diffusion and dynamics of the Internet and related technologies.
An international programme
One aspect of the Programmes that we consciously encourage is their international character. By attracting many students from outside the UK, North America and Western Europe, we encourage peer networks that are as diverse as possible, and benefit students who may not have significant academic peer-groups in their own universities. SDP students often maintain research contact after the Programme, for example in collaborating on journal articles or conference papers.
◦SDP 2009 (Brisbane: 6-17/07): 28 students from 18 countries
◦SDP 2008 (Oxford: 13-26/07): 29 students from 15 countries
◦SDP 2007 (Cambridge, MA: 16-27/07): 33 students from 15 countries
◦SDP 2006 (Oxford: 17-28/07): 23 students from 15 countries
◦SDP 2005 (Beijing: 7-12/07): 27 students from 14 countries
◦SDP 2004 (Oxford: 14-31/07): 22 students from 14 countries
◦SDP 2003 (Oxford: 22/07-9/08): 28 students from 15 countries
Applicants
Places are open to students from any discipline currently undertaking doctoral research on social, political, legal and economic issues relating to the Internet. Preference is given to students at an advanced stage of their PhD, and who are engaged in empirical and/or comparative research that highlights the changing international dynamics of the Internet and related technologies.
We also welcome applications from students pursuing issues of law, theory and policy that could inform international comparative research and from those undertaking country-specific studies. All student applications should be supported by one or more of the students' current doctoral programme supervisors or advisors.
