Research supervision
Dr Shanti Sumartojo is a Vice-Chancellor's Research Fellow and a core member of the Digital Ethnography Research Centre.
Shanti's work currently spans three overlapping areas:
- The first is ongoing research on how people experience commemorative sites and events, particularly in the context of the First World War centenary.
- The second is a suite of collaborative ethnographic investigations into how people encounter and make sense of designed environments, with a focus on instances of urban spatial transformation.
- The final research stream is concerned with healthcare environments, and how their design might contribute to forms of wellbeing.
All three areas are linked by methodologies that include sensory and digital ethnography, and research projects are often funded by and conducted in collaboration with external industry partners.
