'Teaching for Digital Citizenship: Digital ethics in the classroom and beyond it' is a new research project funded by the ESRC, with a focus on addressing young people’s needs in a digitally connected world. The project will develop a range of strategies, resources and practices that help teachers, teacher educators, and students to shape ethical environments in the interfaces of the digital with personal, social, civic and global citizenship.

In three stages, the project will: engage the Delphi method to map normative challenges; undertake ethnographic case studies within schools in Scotland, England, Wales, and Nothern Ireland; and finally, co-produce a range of resources for digital citizenship education.

Dr Jeremy Knox will contribute to the team with expertise in ethics policy and impact, along with Professor Robert Davis, Professor James Conroy, and Professor João Porto de Albuquerque. The project is led by Dr Lundie at the University of Glasgow.
