Digital disaggregation : assessing the uncanny posthuman
| Description | This project was a research seminar series. We have developed a better understanding of the relation between university literacy practices and new digital communication practices. This has informed further research in 'digital literacies' funded by JISC and also the development of a new research network for the Society for Research in Higher Education, and a Leverhulme Early Career Fellowship project. |
