New Housing LIN blog reviews Home Renaissance Foundation’s newly published book, The Home in the Digital Age

This new guest blog for the Housing LIN by Home Renaissance Foundation (opens new window)’s Academic Lawyer, Dr Joy Malala, reminds us how the ‘home’ has become the focus since the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic and the World Health Organisation’s recommendation to ‘stay home’.

The blog draws attention to how ‘digital’ has also become increasingly relied on to stay connected with one another, yet with little discussions on the impact and influence of digital technologies on the home.

This is why The Home in the Digital Age (opens new window) – co-authored and co-edited by Joy – takes a multi-dimensional approach to a people centred digital world to explore the technological dimension with the psychological, cognitive, emotional, cultural and symbolic dimensions of the object that incorporate digital technologies.
