Our research aligns with themes pertaining to how technological change compels us to rethink contemporary politics; to isolate instances where technology can be either supplementary or antagonistic to conditions of human flourishing; how historical concepts in politics must be adapted, reconceived or eschewed in our new digital context; and how political actors engage with these technologies to their benefit or detriment. Our upcoming series of policy reports will focus on the results of national elections across the world in 2024, providing a critical analysis results and process, discerning key trends, events and actors to support policymakers and activists interested in engaging with the newly formed political landscapes.

Our research is truth-seeking, theoretically robust and empirically supported – we harbour ambitions to publish across a variety of disciplinary (and interdisciplinary) high-reputation journals to establish ourselves as a reliable and valuable source of penetrative insight within the academic world. We draw upon our unique position within our department to stretch across disciplinary boundaries to learn from each other and those outside of the research group to ensure any normative or prescriptive insights are informed by up-to-the-minute knowledge of innovations in technology, engineering and design
