During the 2017 DMRC Summer School, leading Australian and international 
digital media researchers will run workshops, masterclasses, 
experimental sessions, and traditional talks,  incorporating hands-on 
exposure to digital methods for studying online activity, advanced 
theoretical approaches, and legal and industry perspectives. Among the 
sessions will be several digital methods workshops, run by the DMRC's 
leading researchers. We strongly encourage applications from PhD and 
early-career digital media researchers interested in particular in 
questions of automation, regulation, and digital media.
