We work toward a digital education future that is collaborative and critically hopeful.
- Partnerships and collaborations are critical to our research: we move beyond ‘impact’ to actively seek multiple perspectives and forms of knowledge.
- Our work sees education as a public and common good.
- We do not see technology as a ‘solution’ to educational and environmental problems.
- We work to develop research methods and practices that are sensitive to ecological harm.
