Inaugural Lecture, Professor Jen Ross: What does it take to make new digital futures for education?<\/strong> 10 June 2026, details here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Many past dreams for digital technologies in education, including my own, foregrounded their capacity to foster meaningful connections and new forms of knowledge production. However, these technologies can also increase fragmentation, surveillance and extraction, and these negative capacities currently outweigh the positive for many people, ecosystems and communities around the world.<\/p>\n

What is left of past positive aspirations, what visions of digital education do we currently need, and how can we create the conditions for better futures to flourish? In this lecture, I will reflect on my work over the past 15 years, including on open and online learning, digital cultural heritage engagement, and technologies of automation in education. I will share what I\u2019ve learned about how digital technologies shape and are shaped by issues of power, audience, surveillance, trust and openness.<\/p>\n

And I\u2019ll argue that, to make new digital futures, it is necessary to speculate, imagine and experiment with technologies and the practices and relations around them.<\/p>\n
