Postdigital research – how is it different?

Since the inception of the Postdigital Science and Education journal, book series, and encyclopaedia, postdigital scholarship has experienced rapid growth. However, the implications of postdigital research (methods) have remained unclear.
What does it mean to conduct postdigital research? What are the main challenges and opportunities of postdigital research? And, probably most importantly, what are its future prospects?
Based on two recently published books, Postdigital Research: Genealogies, Challenges, and Future Perspectives and Constructing Postdigital Research: Method and Emancipation (Jandrić, MacKenzie & Knox, 2023), this presentation will address three key questions: What is postdigital knowledge? What does it mean to do postdigital research? What, if anything, is distinct from research conducted in other perspectives? Delving into the various methods of constructing postdigital research, the presentation will explore the postdigital dynamic of inclusion and exclusion, as well as the interplay between method and emancipation.
