-Abstract-
This talk is about a research initiative in “Digital Civics” proposing the use of digital technologies in the provision of relational models of public services, that is, models that take as a starting point the potential of digital technologies to support citizen-focused sharing of knowledge, experience and resources. Digital Civics research is inherently cross-disciplinary, action-oriented and place-based, and this requires us to configure ourselves differently to the communities with whom we conduct our research. In this talk I will be describing examples of our digital civics research, from applications in community engagement and education to public health and social justice, as well as the trajectory and pragmatics of the overall endeavour.
