Digital Technology and Inequality: Policy Insight Case Studies

In April 2023, the British Academy funded three case study-based research projects as part of the Digital Technology and Inequality project. These projects aimed to draw upon the SHAPE disciplines to highlight clear and practical lessons for policymakers at local, regional and national levels for tackling digital inequalities, developing digital inclusion programmes, and supporting digital inclusion networks.
