Background
The emergence and proliferation of digital technologies has opened prospects of possibility and potentials for pitfalls across the varied fields of our research. Having firmly crossed into this new ‘digitised era’, opportunities for collaboration, interdisciplinary and mixed-methods research have become apparent.
The conference will focus on the impacts of digitisation of research methodologies, the collaborative and interdisciplinary aspects, ethical and widening participation challenges and uncertainties that manifest as the digital aspects continue to grow at a fast pace.
The conference is funded by the Cambridge Economic and Social Research Council (ESRC) Doctoral Training Partnership.
