PhD Candidate
The expansion of the Internet and its use by governments offer innovative solutions of e-government. To succeed, though, this digital enterprise of governments needs to consider the diversities among people. The present research intends to improve the theoretical discussion by providing empirical data on the field of digital government and the social and digital divide. Through this research, Cecília intends to answer the following central question: to what extent do governments' digital transformation strategies create impediments to the exercise of citizenship by vulnerable groups? To answer this research question, Cecília employs multi-methods techniques for data generation:
i) documentary analysis of regulations, plans, and information from websites and applications related to government strategies;
ii) semi-structured or focus group interviews with users of public services and beneficiaries of digitization strategies; and
iii) interviews with government agents involved in the implementation of digitization policies.
