Research areas

The Institute’s research themes are iterative and responsive, rather than rigid and prescriptive – and we expect them to evolve as different points of strategic need emerge.

Our first cycle of themes is intended, therefore, as a set of provocations and points of departure – ways of plotting these different co-ordinates of change within digital culture research.
