Workshop Theme
This workshop brings together people from a diverse range of disciplines to
discuss how academic researchers and community practitioners and activists
can work together to explore the use of information and communication
technologies, social media, augmented reality, and other forms of network
technologies for research and action in pursuit of social responsibility.
The aim is to connect people with ideas, ideas with research projects, and
harness new media to further inquiry into socially just outcomes in our
community.
