Ways
of Being in a Digital Age: a UCL Scoping Exercise
- Preparation for anticipated ESRC funding calls
- Register your interest in potential areas of future funding
- Your response will help UCL be in the best position to respond quickly to a future call
Background
In
preparation for the anticipated funding calls in the ESRC priority area "Ways
of Being in a Digital Age' we would like to identify researchers across UCL
who are interested in developing proposals that we think will be based on some
or all of the themes below. To identify gaps in current research and
determine where future initiatives would add most value, the ESRC have
commissioned a scoping study and
calls are expected later this year.
The
focus area is described in the ESRC
Delivery Plan 2016-20: The 21st century has witnessed significant
changes due to digital technological advancements, which impacts the way we
communicate, receive, consume and process information, travel, shop and do our
work. The presence of digital technology mediates our perceptions, behaviours
and practices across these areas and influences our ways of living, learning,
sharing, engaging and seeing the world around us. This raises a number of
fundamental questions about our ways of being in a digital age, the risks and
opportunities associated with digital living, and our understanding of the
individual, community and society.
Please register your interest in potential areas of future funding. These details will help UCL be in the best position to respond quickly to a future call. Please alert your colleagues who might also be interested.
