Welcome to The Digital Impact Explorer!

My name is Zoé Waterlot. I am a PhD student at the University of Glasgow. My research is supported by UNICEF and the Scottish Graduate School of Social Sciences (SGSSS). My main focus is how world of aid is impacted by digital transformations.

On The Digital Impact Explorer, you will read about the digital world, innovation and the world of aid today. I created this platform to share my writing about my research interests and my research design process.

I have a background in humanities and social sciences, with a focus on geography and sustainable development, which led me to undertake the MSc Environment and Development at the University of Edinburgh, which I followed on with the MSc Earth Futures at the University of Glasgow, where I started working with UNICEF Innovation as an intern. Throughout my masters’ degrees I focused on how the inclusion of technology challenges pre-existing socio-spatial structures. Working with UNICEF Innovation on the African Drone and Data Academy (ADDA) and the Impact YOMA project.

I hope you will enjoy visiting The Digital Impact Explorer!
