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. DERC excels in both academic scholarship and in our applied work
with external partners from industry and other sectors.



DERC approaches this world and how we experience it through innovative,
reflexive and ethical ethnographic approaches, developed through
anthropology, media and cultural studies, design, arts and documentary
practice and games research.



Our research is incisive, interventional and internationally leading. Going
beyond the call of pure academia we combine academic scholarship with
applied practice to produce research, analysis and dissemination projects
that are innovative and based on ethnographic insights. For details about
DERC see http://www.digital-ethnography.net/the-people/
