Thesis Title

From Practice to Purpose: Embracing Technology for Creative Communities.

Allow me explain my title a little - 'From Practice to Purpose' refers to the term Communities of Practice (Wenger, 2002) this is where a group of like minded people come to together to share and practice their ideas. 'Purpose' refers to what purpose these groups/communities come together, this research will hopefully explore reasons other than monetary gain for example collaborative learning or to simply make the world a better place.
Although I will attempt to explore physical creative communities, I will also be looking at online communities and the notion of place within society. The domain that this research falls within is the Creative Industries, focusing on craft and DIY ethics
