In today's episode, Eva interviews the podcast co-host for season 3: Phil Creswell. Phil has a B.A. in Sociology from the University of Wisconsin, a Master of Social Sciences and a PhD from Uppsala University in Sweden. His PhD dissertation Chains of Trust: Networks of Persistent Resistance in Digital Activism is an ethnography of the hacktivist scene in (and around) Anonymous and its activism that looks at participation and collaboration in risky and costly activism online. We talk about Phil's career path so far, and what it is like to do a PhD in Sweden.
His research interests have tended to coalesce around social networks and social theory. Currently, he’s working on a book chapter about the Pirate Movement in Sweden, a paper with a collaborator about environmental activism, and trying to survive an intensive adjunct teaching position. We learn more about Phil's research as well as how he landed teaching positions after the PhD.
He will begin a new position at the University of Gothenburg as an Assistant Professor with a focus on teaching sociology to teacher students. We learn about the process of applying for this position, and what's coming up next for Phil.
He is also an increasingly distant figurehead for a highly successful metal review blog and all around nerd.
