Overview

About the programme

By drawing on cross-disciplinary ideas associated with open, disruptive and immersive media, the posthuman, posthumanities and the Anthropocene, we endeavour to help 21st century society and its cultural institutions (galleries, archives, museums, libraries etc.) respond to the challenges they face in relation to the (post)digital at a global, national and local level.

The Centre for Postdigital Cultures at Coventry University does this through an interdisciplinary research agenda that extends from computing, through the humanities and social sciences, to open education, political activism and art practice, in order to explore how intellectual, community and civic engagement can prefigure different ways of being together.
