This creative research workshop is for PhD students and early career researchers at RMIT University. Esteemed mobile media expert Professor Adriana de Souza e Silva will prompt participants to engage with the concept of Creative Mobile Methods and examine its relation to their daily lives and personal contexts.

Participants will be introduced to two projects developed at North Carolina State University’s Networked Mobilities Lab: a pandemic location-based game and the mobile networked creativity (MNC) repository. These projects translate complex mobile communication concepts into practical applications that can have a social impact.

Workshop participants will have the opportunity to contribute to both projects via guided discussion and group activities.

Please note this workshop is only being delivered in-person.
