Organisation profile

The Centre for Digital Citizenship investigates the social and political consequences of current developments in digital media technologies – smartphones, social media, algorithms, data, and beyond – and asks how these technologies shape individuals, citizens, collectives, and publics. While digital technologies offer progress in terms of political mobilization and public conversation, they also hold the potential to enhance old inequalities and divides, countering trust in society. The Centre for Digital Citizenship seeks interdisciplinary explanations to these complex digital developments and their societal effects.
