Digital Cultures & Societies in the Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences is a five-year research initiative funded via the support of the Vice-Chancellor’s Strategic Funding Scheme and the HASS Faculty. The purpose of the initiative is to build a vibrant research and intellectual culture together with quality outcomes, engagement and infrastructure in digital cultures & societies research. It includes investigators from disciplines across the humanities and social sciences, a digital research infrastructure including data science and software development support, and research fellows.
Digital Cultures & Societies works with researchers across the humanities and social sciences to:
- Foster vibrant, collaborative, and inter-disciplinary culture around digital cultures & societies research focussed on creativity, quality and diversity.
- Create scale to compete for competitive funding, act as node in larger bids, establish ourselves as an ongoing centre and infrastructure.
- Develop partnerships across other universities, public sector, cultural institutions, civil society, industry.
- Invest in engagement through public events and storytelling.
- Support the development of diversified research income.
From 2022 until 2026 there will be a series of annual and one-off funding and postdoctoral opportunities for researchers working in the humanities and social sciences.
