Film and New Media
The Centre for Cross-Cultural Research is
committed to advancing the use of digital technologies and new
media in humanities research. The CCR encourages staff and students
to integrate digital methods into all levels of their research
practices.
We see the use of digital technologies and
new media as offering the potential to:
- facilitate data collection in the field
- improve analytical processes through qualitive
databases
- enable archiving and documentation of research
in standardised formats
- enable the dissemination, presentation
and publication of research in new formats
