People
We are a collective of academics, artists, coders, creative practitioners, information professionals, makers, programmers, scholars, writers, theorists, thinkers and tinkerers - we write, we make, we do.
SHL Digital is an inclusive community. The Centre is run by a Management Group formed of four Co-Directors plus a Programme Manager. This group together with researchers drawn from a diverse range of disciplines accross campus, the Centre's Research Fellows ,and the Technical and Professional Services Support team, they form our Core Team.
Membership is open to all Sussex reseachers. Additionally, we welcome visiting fellows and artists, and are open for short research visits. We also welcome Doctoral applications. See working with us webpage for more information on how to become a member and the various ways to engage with SHL Digital.
