DCRC - Digital Cultures Research Centre

The week ending the 18th of May saw researchers conducting interesting conversations both near and afar, some reflection and also looking forward, the week was also the 141st week of the operation of the DCRC. 141 years ago, in 1871, Henry Stanley tracked down David Livingstone on the shores of Lake Tanganyika, five bank holidays were introduced by law for the first time, the Rugby Football Union was founded and and trade unions were legalised.

Since relaunching this website at the beginning of September the DCRC team haven't stopped! Director Jon Dovey has been striking ground on the South West AHRC knowledge exchange hub REACT, Sam Kinsley has been conducting British Academy funded research fieldwork in California, and Constance Fleuriot has been working on the Pervasive Media Cookbook with Jess Linington as well as concluding research at Knowle West Media Centre for our Connected Communities project 'Keeping in Touch'.
