About

CRDS | The Centre for Research in Digital Storymaking focuses on storymaking across different digital media. Our focus on digital storymaking is intended to ensure an interdisciplinary set of engagements.

The Centre’s aims are:

  • To analyse how stories are constructed, remediated, and hybridized in contemporary digital culture.
  • To promote innovative and collaborative methodologies and develop analysis that is grounded in relevant industry contexts

The Centre’s core enquires are:

  • the impact of digital  storymaking in real world contexts (in journalism, documentary, curation, public policy communications such as health);
  • contextual distribution of story events (transmedia, social media);
  • new forms in imaginative narrative media (games, interactive fiction, immersive theatre).

The Centre pursues this mission by organising public events, academic symposia and workshops, and facilitating and coordinating research projects.
