IR 5.0:SUSSEX: 2004: UBIQUITY?
19-22nd September 2004
The Association of Internet Researchers (aoir.org)
is holding its 5th Annual Conference (2004)
Location: University
of Sussex, Falmer, Brighton, England in association with the
University
of Sussex Conference Office
THEMES
The internet seems to be at once everywhere and
invisible, but simultaneously it structures only a fraction of
the communications
of the total global community. It can facilitate greater interaction,
understanding and political activism; being used at the same time
to exclude, destroy and exploit. The much cited ubiquity of the
internet needs to be examined in both the contexts in which it
is accepted and those in which it is contested. Research into the
internet is a significant part of academic work, and it cuts across
a wide variety of disciplines. More about the themes of the conference.
