- Digital Humanities
- The role of the internet
- Interaction and communication within and across cultures and spaces
- Legacy and reception (interaction with the past and future)
- Sources of communication (material culture, film and literature)
- Modes of communication
- Networks of communication
- The role of gender and sexuality in interaction and communication
- The communication of social and political power
