Scholars researching digital cultures work across a range of disciplines, including media and communication, design, law, visual arts and public health.
This research raises new ethical and methodological challenges, particularly in relation to research with vulnerable or marginalised communities.
The Researching Digital Cultures symposium aims to apply an interdisciplinary lens to these challenges, and promote the development of scholarly networks that support ethical, innovative approaches to online and mobile media research.
Draft Program:
Keynote presentation:
Katherine Moline, UNSW Arts and Design: 'Methods and ethics in mobile media research'
Digital methods and ethics in researching transnational cultures
