Digital Ethnographic Research Centre (DERC)
The Digital Ethnography Research Centre (DERC) focuses on understanding a contemporary world where digital and mobile technologies are increasingly inextricable from the environments and relationships in which everyday life plays out. Researchers at DERC are renowned for being incisive, interventional and internationally leading. Going beyond the call of pure academia they combine academic scholarship with applied practice to produce research, analysis and dissemination projects that are innovative and based on ethnographic insights.
