"The chapters address current discourses and debates on digital citizenship, information quality and news literacy, privacy and identity, as well as forward-looking discourses on emerging technologies (including artificial intelligence, virtual reality, and the metaverse) and their intersection with diversity, equity, and inclusion in areas such as health and well-being, work and play, or participation. In addition to its multidisciplinary focus, the handbook also brings together diverse methodological approaches, including both quantitative and qualitative perspectives, and policy analysis."
