K-platforms: Co-developing tools and methods for studying digital platforms and cultures in South Korea
What are Korean platforms? What are their histories? How do they compare to platforms elsewhere? How can we do research with and about them?
K-platforms supports collaborative research on South Korean digital media landscapes and how they are being shaped by the development of apps, platforms and AI.
As part of this project researchers from Seoul National University, the Korea Advanced Institute of Science & Technology (KAIST) and King's College London will co-develop reusable research tools and methods for investigating the cultures, infrastructures, dynamics, logics and economies of South Korea platforms and online spaces.
