    Introduction

    The Digital Technology and Changing Society research cluster is a multi-disciplinary research group within the Department of Media and Communication at XJTLU. Our group is a dynamic and innovative collective dedicated to exploring the intersection of media, communication, and technology in the digital age. We are committed to employing mixed-methods approaches, including social network analysis, natural language processing, sentiment detection, and agent-based modelling, to investigate diverse and emerging topics such as memes, internet culture, and online discourse. Our research aims to provide deeper insights into the complexities of digital interactions and virtual environments.

    • Ethical considerations and responsible use of AI, big data, and digital technologies
    • Public opinion and internet governance
    • The impact of social media on shaping contemporary narratives
    • Social transformation
    • Virtual identities
    • Virtual communities and virtual ethnography
    • Subcultures
    • Video game studies
