Our blogging internship scheme

In December 2021, we launched our official blogging internship scheme. The scheme is supported by the Department of History, Politics and Philosiphy at ManMet to allow our undergraduate and Masters students to spend one month blogging about digital politics, to further their interest in, and knowledge of the subject, and to get blogging experience. During their time with us, the interns are mentored and training in preparing and writing their topics as well as in the technical aspects of maintaining a blog.

Last month we welcomed our first official intern, Sharne Eliza Wood, who has written a fantastic series of posts on cyberfeminism, gender and digital politics. Sharne says:

I’ve had a brilliant time on the Digital Politics Internship - I’d absolutely recommend it to any other students interested in writing and humanities studies. I’ve had a great time working on the posts and have definitely expanded my own knowledge and passion for the subject whilst doing it.

This January, we are joined by two new interns - Helio Vaz Da Silva Junior and Jonathon Aaron Jones. Watch this space for their exciting stuff!
