Work within the Network spans four interconnected arenas: technological systems and infrastructures; knowledge ecologies; ethics, policy, and governance; and technology, culture, and society. Research examines how digital architectures organize communication and computation; how information and learning circulate through institutions and communities; how governance and accountability shape innovation; and how creative and civic practices express technological change. Together, these perspectives surface tensions between automation and agency, openness and control, and global integration and local autonomy—framing technology as both a system of possibility and a space of responsibility.
