Reimagining our common future through critical scholarship and dialogue on digital culture, technology, and society.
Founded in July 2019, the Center on Digital Culture and Society (CDCS) at the University of Pennsylvania’s Annenberg School for Communication supports critical, interdisciplinary scholarship and dialogue on digital culture, technology, and society. CDCS aims to create collaborative spaces for discussion and debate among academics, citizens, and activists; develop critical approaches to the study of digital culture and technology; help train new generations of digital researchers at the University of Pennsylvania and beyond; build global networks of researchers; advocate for socially just design, production, and use of digital technologies; and explore and foster new visions of digital futures through scholarship and public communication.
CDCS researchers produce critical and interdisciplinary scholarship on how digital technologies shape culture, politics, and society.
From the activist deploying technology for political causes to the individual who consciously disengages with online life, CDCS is building a collection of stories about ordinary people with radical relationships to digital technologies.
We invite submissions to our online magazine, The Digital Radical , from anyone with a story to tell about a person or group who practices a radical orientation toward digital media and technologies. A new story is published every month. See our call for submissions.
New for 2022, the Executive Program in Digital Media for Social Impact (DMSI) helps changemakers advance their social media strategies.
Want to work with us? We welcome invitations for collaborations and cosponsorships at the intersection of digital culture and society and also offer opportunities for nonresidential fellowships. Contact us for more information.

Digital culture.
Datafication, platformisation, and digitalization are significantly reshaping contemporary societies and cultures, giving rise to novel cultural expressions, social practices, cultural industries, and material infrastructures.
The Digital Culture Research Cluster is dedicated to advancing research that explores the interactions between cultural dynamics and socio-technical infrastructures. The interdisciplinary nature of the work happening within DC spans across cultural theory and studies (encompassing literature, performance, musicology, sound studies, and art history), anthropology, Science and Technology Studies (STS), media and communication studies, information studies as well as critical studies in data and machine learning.
Methodologically, the cluster employs a diverse range of established qualitative and quantitative research methods, including ethnography, archival techniques, and cultural and visual analysis. Additionally, it explores emerging digital and experimental methodologies such as machine learning, digital forensics, and artistic research practices.
Organizationally, the cluster supports various research activities, including informal monthly lunch meetings, internal and external seminars, research excursions, peer-feedback sessions, and networking opportunities with other relevant research communities.
Critical data, algorithm and ai studies.
The research cluster examines the production, distribution and reception of data, models and machine learning technologies, with a particular sensitivity to gendered, racialized, colonial and class-based dimensions of computational regimes, among other things through the Critical Data and Machine Learning Lecture Series organized by AI REUSE and DALOSS .
The cluster investigates the cultural roles, emergences, and imaginaries of digital art and artistic research practices, including new media art, music and sound art, video games, expanded reality and virtual worldmaking. Current projects investigate the aesthetic and creative implications of algorithmic behaviours and cultures, genre and the authenticity of data and digital objects.
The research cluster examines the ways in which digital technologies are ingrained in everyday lives – as habits, as mundane practices, as addictions, as algorithmic anticipations that affect the way humans relate, sense and engage with each other (intimacies and communities) as well as their environments (homes, cities, landscapes).
The research cluster investigates the complex interplay between digital infrastructures and forms of materiality in the digital age. A focus of the research cluster lies in the acceleration of platformised distribution and consumption, and the geopolitical potential of digital mediators as well as their relation to the materiality of infrastructures.
Digitalization of cultural production and institutions impact on a range of economic, political, and aesthetic aspects. Current research projects in the cluster focus on the ways in which forms of digitalization facilitate new socio-cultural practices and cultural imaginaries. Furthermore research projects in the cluster investigate how cultural industries and cultural-economic models shift due to the influence of digitalization, and how digital platforms shape and reconfigure cultural, political and socio-economic landscapes.
Cluster leaders: Tanja Wiehn and Nanna Bonde Thylstrup

Visit our website, contact the Lab Co-Directors or contact FHI Associate Director Christina Chia for more information on current opportunities. If you apply through FHI directly for working groups, course development, event support etc. do be sure to mention the PHD lab in your application so it gets flagged for our attention and support.
Digital Humanities Summer Research Grants
In Summer 2022, 17 PhD students received $2750 grants to support independent research in the digital humanities. During the 2022-23 academic year the grant recipients are reporting back on their experiences in periodic group symposium sessions. In addition, PhD Lab grantees are encouraged to join events sponsored by the Duke Digital Humanities Initiative, to self-organize into working groups, and to suggest additional activities for the graduate DH community as a whole.
In response to feedback on this year's program, we anticipate offering a revised, variable-amount summer research grants program to PhD students again in 2023, and with optional additional support to sponsor workshops, working groups, and events during the academic year following the award. Potential applicants will be invited to an information session in February 2023, where will we provide further details on grant amounts and expectations; a call for applications will circulate mid-February.
Digital Humanities Summer Graduate Assistantships
In addition to our summer grants program, the PhD Lab plans to partner with the John Hope Franklin Humanities Institute, Humanities Unbounded, and North Carolina Central University on a small number of Summer Graduate Assistantships focused on the development of digital humanities curriculum and training. More information coming soon!
Digital Humanities TA-ships
Depending on common interests and resource availability, some students may also also be offered the opportunity to TA for a digital humanities course at NCCU or Duke in future semesters. More information on this potential program will be available later in Spring 2023 and Fall 2023.
Courses and Training
Depending on student interest, the PhD lab may organize workshops and tutorial sessions for graduate students. If you would like to suggest - or offer - a workshop, contact us!
Graduate students are also encouraged to take classes such as ISS 580S: the Interdisciplinary Humanities Proseminar (required for the MA in Digital Art History/Computational Media), and to sign up for the Information Science + Studies Graduate Certificate. The ISS Program offers and cross-lists a variety of courses relevant to students with digital humanities interests. Students may also be interested in courses and opportunities associated with the Computational Media, Arts & Cultures program and labs. FHI is a co-sponsor of the interdisciplinary CMAC PhD, and hosts speakers and events related to critical digital humanities in conjunction with CMAC offerings.
DHI@FHI Brochure
The Digital Cultures research group is interested in how digital media and technologies can act as disruptive - and potentially transformative - forces in society.
This group engages with the digital in its different dimensions: as objects, as structures and as processes.
It develops conceptual and methodological innovations to better understand these dimensions. It also considers wider societal arrangements and how these impinge on those same dimensions.
The key research themes of the group include:
The Digital Cultures research group has worked on a number of projects to develop changes in practice associated with access to digital tools for communities, including those with intellectual disabilities, the mapping and modelling of at-risk environments, the exploration of sensory and virtual reality tools in heritage contexts, community coding, gender, copyright and digital archives. We are focussed on how digital objects and methods can be used, or can be influential, in civic and political communication and culture.

Digitization is transforming cultural practices, from friendship, intimacy and sexual relations, to the construction, targeting, and surveillance of publics. Digital platforms and mobile apps, such as Facebook, Tinder, YouTube, Instagram, Netflix, the Russian platform VK, and the China-based WeChat, TikTok, and Tantan, have rapidly become central to the production, circulation, consumption, and monetization of culture. The complexity and scale of these changes require active collaboration across a wide variety of disciplines, including economics, the social sciences and the humanities. With this in mind, the GDC will build on and further strengthen existing interdisciplinary and cross-Faculty collaborations within UvA and beyond to identify vital topics, shape research agendas and develop innovative methods.
There are no upcoming events at this time.
We aim to build a vibrant, interdisciplinary, research community across the University of Amsterdam and beyond, to compare and analysing the profound changes brought about by digitisation across the globe. Early career and PhD scholars are especially encouraged to get involved, attend events, and apply for the funding opportunities.

There is a vacant PhD position at the Department of Linguistic, Literary and Aesthetic Studies at the University of Bergen, starting during the Autumn 2022 semester. The appointment is for a fixed term of four years.
The successful candidate’s PhD project will investigate digital narrative as expressed through electronic literature, computer games, social media narratives, computational narrative systems, or new forms of digital narrative that use emerging technologies such as machine learning systems, XR, or conversational interfaces. The project may also integrate comparative analysis across different genres of digital narrative.
The project should apply digital humanities research methods and preferably make use of the ELMCIP Electronic Literature Knowledge Base . These methods could for instance include data collection and curation, data analysis and visualization or interface design. Queer and intersectional perspectives addressing bias in digital humanities research infrastructure are also welcome.
The position will be associated with the Center for Digital Narrative (CDN) , a finalist in the 2022 Norwegian Centers for Research Excellence scheme. The initiative is dedicated to humanities-driven research in electronic literature, games studies, digital culture, and computation to advance understanding of digital narrative. The research plan focuses on algorithmic narrativity, new environments and materialities, and the shifting cultural contexts in which digital narratives are received and processed. We will investigate how the interactions of human authors and non-human agents result in new narrative forms, how the materialities of digital narratives have changed over time, and how cultural contexts are reshaping the use and function of digital narrative.

If you have completed your Master's programme, and you are enthusiastic about doing research in your field, then maybe doing a Doctorate (PhD) might be something for you. A Doctor’s degree is the highest academic degree awarded by a Dutch university. You start as 'assistant in training' (aio) or 'researcher in training' (oio).
At Utrecht University you take part in education in one of the Graduate Schools and often also teach students. During the four-year PhD programme you work under the guidance of a professor on creating a research project that results in a dissertation or a series of articles in scientific journals. You can search for positions on research projects on offer or a position whereby you are free to submit your own research proposal. Read more on doing a PhD at Utrecht University.
The best way to find a PhD position is through networking with the professor in the field you wish to specialize. Another option is to search via www.academictransfer.nl . Here you can also find more information on doing PhD research in the Netherlands.
ASU is not currently accepting applications for this program.
