Centre for Culture and Technology

The Centre for Culture and Technology is dedicated to theoretical, aesthetic and critical inquiry into the ways contemporary media shape contemporary forms of experience and our prospects for living together and relating to one another in an interconnected world. The Centre’s inquiry is dedicated not only to contemporary media and its effects, but also to the contemporary critical approaches necessary for understanding our media: feminist, queer, decolonial, and antiracist.
