Critical Democracy Post-doctoral Researcher (CDD)
Applications due Friday, May 26, 2023. Applications should be submitted to CCDSaup.edu
June 2023 to December 2024
Center for Critical Democracy Studies, American University of Paris
Stephen Sawyer, Director of the Center for Critical Democracy Studies
The Post-doctoral researcher will be responsible for research and deliverables relating to the OppAttune Horizon Europe Grant under the management of Stephen Sawyer, Director of the Center for Critical Democracy Studies at The American University of Paris.
*Project description*. Democracies and the European project are under threat by the rise of extreme narratives and lack of capacity for political and social dialogue. Existential insecurities arising out of economic and refugee-related crises have been exacerbated by the Covid-19 pandemic to create re-bordering (e.g., xenophobic-nationalism) and re-shoring (e.g., the localisation of production). Such insecurities, sometimes understood as ontological insecurities (threats to being) are not confined to national borders but exist as transnational narratives. Evidence suggests that extremist ideas, although articulated and tailored to fit specific national contexts, increasingly spread between national media ecosystems via social media thus accelerating the transnationalisation of extremist movements (ISD Global 2021; Froio and Bharath 2019).
The OppAttune consortium responds to these challenges and threats to democracy through three objectives:
---- To track the evolution of extreme political narratives within media, local ecologies and living democracies and establish the psychological, sociological and anthropological drivers of extremism.
----- To attune capacity for public dialogue by modelling how the evolution of extreme political narratives impact social and political dialogue.
------ To limit the rise of extreme political narratives and their potential to become violent political transformations disrupting democratic processes such as democratic elections.
Post-doc responsibilities
Reporting to the Director of the Center for Critical Democracy Studies, the Post-doc will provide essential support for completing all work related to Work Packages for our Horizon Europe grant, OppAttune. This work includes leading the research and writing in collaboration with consortium partners during the first year of the grant including the construction of a “Regulatory-Rights Cases Toolkit” for diagnosing environments of political and social extremism based on 16 cases (month 9). Further work will include modeling relationships between regulation and rights in past and contemporary cases (month 11) and building a “Regulatory-Rights Interactive Website” (month 12), which will include 16 cases that enable six target groups practitioners/policy-makers to apply the toolkit to other historical and contemporary cases and will assist in teaching the history of extremist narratives.
The Post-doc will also be responsible for all research related to France for the project and the organization of a Democracy Colab (Information available on request). The Post-doc must attend all online meetings of the consortium and inform the project managers of our progress. The Post-doc will also have occasional organizational duties for the organization of talks or roundtables, not exceeding 4 events per year on questions of democracy. As such, the Post-doc is part of the international consortium pursuing OppAttune and a fellow at the Center for Critical Democracy Studies.
