Ways of Being in a Digital Age

The University of Liverpool, in collaboration with 17 other partner universities and organisations, was selected to lead the UK Economic and Social Research Council (ESRC) scoping review on “Ways of Being in a Digital Age”.

This scoping review will inform potential future ESRC initiatives in this area. It will provide a holistic view of how digital technology mediates our lives, and of the way technological and social change co-evolve and impact on each other.

Research

The project undertook a Delphi review of expert opinion and a systematic literature review and overall synthesis to identify gaps in current research. It also ran a programme of events to build and extend networks among the academic community, other stakeholders and potential funding partners.

People

Led by Professor Simeon Yates, Co-Director of the Digital Media & Society Institute, the project team consists of a core team of academics from eight UK universities and a broader international steering group.
