DCRC - Digital Cultures Research Centre

While fending off some seasonal bugs, the DCRC has maintained momentum in our various forms of ongoing research and its translation into the classroom. Week 132 has brought incremental steps with the activities of the REACT hub, with both producers now ensconced in the studio, and with the Fusion lab. 132 is a refactorable number and in November last year it was reported that 132 councils had 'lost' personal data between 2008 and 2011.

Our first weeknote of the new year is coincidental with the transition from the year of the rabbit to the year of the dragon (Chinese New Year: 23rd January). The DCRC team wishes everyone a happy and fulfilling new year. In the early stages of 2012 DCRC researchers are as busy as ever. We have been presenting research, working current research into this terms teaching programme, writing, and, of course, planning what comes next!

I am currently really occupied with the write-up and the final event of our Connected DCRC project, Keeping In Touch but just wanted to keep up with some more thoughts from Storyworld.

Although this weeknote concerns last week, we want to highlight that the DCRC and Knowle West Media Centre will be discussing our Keeping in Touch project this Friday - places are still available. You can read a related discussion document in our publications section.
