This workshop series explored the possibilities, and uncertainties, of conducting postgraduate research in a contemporary environment of proliferating technologies, including multimedia interfaces, digital archives, geo-locative devices, open source and data analysis software.

The aim of the workshop series was not only to highlight possible practical applications of various research technologies – helping guide researchers to make informed choices – but also to provoke epistemological and theoretical questions about the nature of technology and contemporary research practice.

A full account of each workshop session is available on the workshop series blog.
