My research explores the relationship between digital competencies and offline inequalities for refugee resettlement in the Netherlands, by focusing on the digital practices of refugee women. While many speak to the potential of digital platforms to foster inclusion for refugees, more critical scholarship points to the limitations, and caution that so called ‘ICT solutions’ may create new or exacerbate existing inequalities.

This project uses Weimar Cinema as a case study to develop a model of the film canonization process. Drawing on Historical Institutionalism, literary canon studies, New Cinema History and digital film historiography, I argue that canonization is a path dependent process made up of a series of “filters” from production, to marketing, distribution, critical and scholarly reception and preservation.
