CITS is dedicated to research and education about the cultural transitions and social innovations associated with technology. The Center comprises a diverse team of more than a dozen scholars in the social sciences, engineering, and the humanities. We conduct research, organize public forums, provide multi-disciplinary doctoral education on technology and society, and facilitate partnerships with industry and the public sector.



Our research examines many aspects of the social and cultural transitions under way at present around the globe, but we have a particular focus on technological change and three topics:

  • Social Collaboration and Dynamic Communities
  • Global Cultures in Transition
  • Technology in Education
