Introduction
The Technology in Context Research Group was founded in 2001 as a forum for academics in the ICT Group and elsewhere to discuss the relationship of the information and communication technologies with society, politics, the humanities and the creative arts.
Aims
- to promote contextualised research into the information and communication technologies; contexts include, but are not restricted to, the social, historical, philosophical, and creative
- to provide support to group members developing expertise in such research areas
- to provide a focus for contact with others within or outside the OU who have related interests
Objectives
- to meet at approximately monthly intervals to present informal papers, discuss seminal research, and provide an opportunity for peer review of collective and individual work of the group
- to generate and distribute a series of internal reports
- to support and encourage Group members in developing appropriate reports into refereed published papers
- to disseminate information within and beyond the Group on significant research in the field
- to hold an annual interdisciplinary Research Day, with the participation of interested colleagues from other areas of the University
- to support and encourage bids for external funding
