Technologies & Digital Societies

This interdisciplinary cluster explores how technologies and digital channels are understood as socio-political contexts and manifest in everyday life (e.g., professional, civic and health spheres), including as harms (i.e., ways to enact crime, exclusion, extremism).  The cluster also attends to how technologies are experienced (including emotionally, in expressing and exercising sexuality and identity) and  provide opportunities for individual and social expression, norms and behaviours, such as to  build support, connection, community, belonging, health and wellbeing. Additionally, we focus on the socio-technical mechanisms that regulate crime and deviance and challenge oppression and how they can be employed to foster more equitable and fair technological futures (e.g, public resistance to AI). Finally, we also support the study and application of innovative methods and practices for researchers.
