Ageless Citizen: Creative Digital Citizenship

As an area within the Centre for Digital Citizens, the Ageless Citizen challenge area addresses the emerging challenges of digital citizenship. This is addressed through an ageless lens.

Through a diverse programme of work, Ageless Citizen researchers are unpacking and challenging existing biases in digital technologies and systems. Researchers are also reframing opportunities for non-stereotypical understandings of:

• age
• learning
• ability

Projects consider how:

• people are more, or less advantaged at particular points in their life course
• an ‘ageless’ approach can hinder inequality and promote equality
