Since its inception in 2016, the Domain has organised a wide variety of events that have brought researchers together from across the disciplinary spectrum.

Events

We are participating in the ESRC’s 2024 Festival of Social Science (19 October - 9 November 2024) with a number of events related to this year's theme of Our Digital Lives.   

6 November 2024 (6.30pm to 7.45pm)
UCL Collaborative Social Science Domain Annual Debate 2024
Growing up Digital: How Today's Youth Navigate Life on Screens and at School
Ten years ago,  Danah Boyd introduced the concept of ‘networked teens’ to explain how social media expanded youth connectivity. In this talk, Professor Jessica Ringrose introduces the idea of ‘postdigital’ teens, offering a lens to understand how teens’ digital networks intersect with their offline school-based peer dynamics.
