2. Research questions
How can we understand the
relationship between technology,
culture, and ethics, and how can this
understanding inform museums’
digital transformations to be more
inclusive for individual citizens’ well-
being and social connection?
How can museums and other
cultural organisations help mitigate
digital exclusion in a post-pandemic
society, especially for communities
often left behind by digital
innovation, such as people with
disabilities and people with
marginalised ethnic and cultural
backgrounds?
What approaches and design
thinking are required for museums
and other cultural organisations to
adopt inclusive technology in their
digital practices? What are the
opportunities and challenges of
applying such technology in
practice?
