He also emphasized that this approach can be used to investigate the possibility of decolonizing the sociotechnical imagination that often accompanies cultural heritage such as Borobudur.

Fadjar’s presentation was followed by a discussion session with FCS UB lecturers. The discussion was interactive, with various questions from the participants regarding the potential for cross-disciplinary collaboration, technology applications in learning, and integrating Digital Humanities with study programs at FCS UB.
