Digital histories and digital futures: Tracing digital transformation (story-)lines
Nina Schlömer, Freie Universität Berlin, Betriebswirtschaftslehre
Contents
Discussions on digital transformation—be it of individuals, organisations, or society—often implicitly follow taken-for-granted narratives. This research group challenges such views by exploring the complexity of digitalisation through a focus on the historical (story-)lines that have brought these transformations into being and the imagined futures that propel them forward. We will use the interdisciplinary setting of the research tutorial to investigate specific cases of digital transformation, such as in healthcare, public administration, and education. Engaging in methods such as archival research and document analysis, this project culminates in the creation of visualisations and e-lectures. Not only will we deepen scholarly understanding of digital transformation, but we will also provide practical guidance for navigating it in its full complexity. This project is open to all students, though some experience with academic literature is useful.
