Humans, Data, Mediations
Edgar Gómez Cruz and Heather Ford, with Tanja Dreher






When Tuesday 2 Oct, 5pm - 6:30pm
Where G17, Robert Webster Building, UNSW Sydney








Digital culture research explores how digital practices connect to age-old questions of human progress, history, politics and community. Although they come from different disciplinary backgrounds, digital cultural researchers tend to share the same goal of better understanding the socio-technical relations that characterise contemporary society. They do this by paying attention to the particular cultural and historical context of their use.

In this seminar, digital cultural researchers Heather Ford and Edgar Gómez Cruz present current forays into two distinct digital cultures: Heather Ford talking about how Wikipedia has become a critical platform for writing history as it happens; Edgar Gómez Cruz about the challenging task of researching Whatsapp security groups (groups used by citizens in many countries around the world to discuss neighbourhood security). Join us for this exploration into Wikipedia and Whatsapp and the worlds that they create for their users. Tanja Dreher will act as the discussant.

Heather Ford is a Senior Lecturer in SAM researching how digital infrastructures in a range of current online platforms influence the diversity, quality and reach of global public knowledge.
Edgar Gómez Cruz is a Senior Lecturer in Digital Cultures at SAM researching vernacular visual material practices and different forms of digital (il)legitimations.
Tanja Dreher is an ARC Future Fellow / Scientia Fellow whose research focuses on media justice and the politics of listening.
