Research project
Research project title: Rising from the depths
Supervisor: Dr Stephanie Wynne-Jones
This research project seeks to explore the production, effect and feasibility of digital tools and their use for local engagement, with a specific focus on Digital tools and products in East Africa and Tanzania.
It will explore the barriers to digital engagement and consider the most effective methods for engaging local communities, the design wants and needs of these communities from digital heritage interventions
The work also aims to be a reflexive process by evaluating efforts and digital methods previously used in the country and in our specific study area, critically analysing their strengths and weaknesses. The outcomes are intended to inform future work that can address local needs, build local capacity, and create an active community discourse around heritage.
