Reply-To: air-l at aoir.org

Hello,

I wanted to share some impressions about the well-known events and some
tendencies I've noticed in Russian and other post-soviet countries =3D3D3D
Internet.
As an anthropologist I was interested what do the ordinary people of these
countries really think about what happened, while their governments speak
nice phrases supporting the US and the war against the terrorism. The =3D
=3D3D3D
result
was interesting - while all TV channels, radio stations were speaking how
that was terrible and bad, on the Internet I've found very wide scale of
opinions and emotions. It seems so, that in post-soviet countries is a
difference between the Internet and other media. I had an impression that =
=3D
=3D3D
=3D3D3D
TV
channels and radio programs presented more or less censored view and on =
=3D
=3D3D
=3D3D3D
the
Internet almost all expressed opposite position to the official. These
tendencies had even more increased when US started to talk about the war =
=3D
=3D3D
=3D3D3D
in
the
Afghanistan. I think a lot of people still remember the Russian war in =3D
=3D3D3D
that
country and it's useless. Another interesting thing is the fact that =
=3D3D3D
politic
discussions still dominates in the chat rooms and web pages which usually
are
not interested in the politics. I'm not sure if the opinions presented on
the net had some influence on the other media, but after some time
more skeptic view started to appear on the Russian TV too. I'm very curios
what will be next.

Regards,

Aurelija Dagilyte

Subject: Self-description and platform for Open Seat



As a keynote speaker at our founding conference, I want to keep the
momentum going.

Research: I believe in systematic, quality research. I've been studying
the Internet and its precursors since the 1970s. I've (co)-authored more
than 160 scholarly articles and (co)-edited three books, including The
Internet in Everyday Life and Networks in the Global Village.

Organization: Let's pioneer new ways to keep connected. In 1976, I founded
the International Network for Social Network Analysis, quite similar to
AOIR. I've served on the Sociology and Computing section Council of the
American Sociological Association, and the International Sociologists'
Community Council. I just co-founded a new journal as head of the ASA's
Community section.

Breadth: At AOIR, I will work to foster skill-expanding workshops. My
research encompasses a wide range of interests: how people find community
online, how people work together online, knowledge management, and the
rise of the networked society. I've collaborated in the design of new
communication systems.

Interdisciplinary: I've collaborated with computer scientists, educators,
engineers, historians, information scientists, lawyers, psychiatrists,
psychologists, and sociologists, and I'm an ICA member. I've been a board
member of Toronto's Knowledge Media Design Institute, McLuhan Program, and
Structural Analysis Program.

International: A Canadian, I've lived and worked in Europe and Asia. I've
collaborated with scholars in 8 countries in Europe, Asia and America. My
work has been translated into 8 languages. I've lectured and given
workshops in 16 countries in South and North America; Eastern and Western
Europe; Western, Southern and Eastern Asia.=3D3D3D20

Steve and Nancy for a second term. My motivation is primarily to make room
for non-americans in the executive committee. In my opinion, this is
important to ensure that AoIR has credibility as an _international_
organisation. (I think it is self-explaining why AoIR in particular should
have such credibility.)

To achieve this is harder than you might think. More than half our members
are American. And most of us would like to vote for someone we know. If =

all
Americans vote for Americans, well... So when voting, please consider
international candidates as well. And for you guys from .il, .nz, .jp, =3D
=3D3D3D
etc.:
Please come forward with your nominations  :)

My nominees are:
Jenny Sund=3D3D3DC8n (Sweden) jensu at tema.liu.se

  Scholars Question the Image of the Internet as a Race-Free
  Utopia

  By JEFFREY R. YOUNG

  The Internet has often been touted as a utopia where racial
  differences are erased and people are judged by their ideas
  rather than their skin color. But rather than curbing racism,
  cyberspace may be perpetuating racial stereotypes for some
  users, a growing number of scholars say.

  And until recently, they say, few researchers have studied
  issues of racial identity online -- even though so much
  attention has been paid to economic studies of the "digital
  divide."

  A recent batch of conferences and books are helping to fill
  the research gap, however.

Subject: [Air-l] civil defense origins of the internet
Reply-To: air-l at aoir.org

At this time of civil defense crisis in the US, it is interesting to
recall that an important precursor of the Internet was the computerized
conferencing system that Murray Turoff and others developed in the early
1970s (and perhaps earlier) for the US civil defense system. The idea was
to foster coordination among dispersed people and groups. This
path-breaking system allowed for both email-like messages and easy setup
of computerized conferences.=3D3D20

The system became civilianized as EIES in the 1970s as Murray became a
prof at New Jersey Institute of Technology (and still is). I remember
being an early, delighted user of it in the mid-1970s, and was a member of
a National Science Foundation funded field trial of using EIES to foster
scholarly community. One fun feature: It was easy to use pseudonyms
whenever you wanted. I was "Alvey Singer" as an _Annie Hall_ fan.

Of course, the technology wasn't the same then. Everything ran off a
single server in New Jersey, and we used an 800 number to dial-in. Speed
was 110 bits per second (which is a lot different than 110K). It came over
a printing modem. Whenever I got a message, I knew I had time to go get a
cup of coffee, sometimes two. Text only of course. But EIES ran, it was
fun, and it was useful. [See Roxanne Hiltz and Murray Turoff's _The
Network Nation_ for a fuller account: I'm proud that they named their book
after my even-earlier "Network City" article.]

Now things have come full circle. I assume US Civil Defense folks are
using similar systems today, and certainly we all have relied on the
Internet to convey thoughts, argue positions, and obtain information.

If anyone's interested, I've set up a new public mailing list for
discussion of these issues. (If someone could please forward this to
the AoIR public lists, I'd appreciate it--I'm not on any of those lists.)

Subject: New mailing list: online-research-ethics

If you're interested in joining the new online-research-ethics mailing
list:

mail:     majordomo at cc.gatech.edu
place in the message body:  subscribe online-research-ethics

A quick intro to the issue:
I've been doing some work on trying to development guidelines for ethical
research online.  I'm part of working groups from APA and AoIR to develop
formal policies.  There are lots of thorny issues.  Here's an example of
a controversial situation: studying discourse in chatrooms.

View 1: "A chat room is like a public square"
Linguists reserve the right to record dialog in public places and
study its formal properties. They can take notes or even tape record
conversations say in a park. They don't need consent for this.
Identity of subjects is disguised. Many linguists argue that open
Internet chatrooms are an analogous situation, and they can record
whatever they like and analyze it without acknowledging their
presence.

View 2: "A chat room is like my living room"
Others argue that because chat rooms are normally not recorded, participant=
=3D
=3D3D
s
have a reasonable expectation that discourse there is ephemeral. You
can't record it without permission.  You can't make individuals be =3D3D
subjects
in an experimental study without their freely-given informed consent.


Messy, no? Join the mailing list for more. The list is open to anyone.
Especially welcome are:

* Individuals seeking advice on their own research
* Members or IRBs struggling to handle research proposals

The list is "off the record"--you may not quote postings from it without
written permission of the author.  I hope this will help foster free
discussion.

Please feel free to forward this message to interested people, and post
it to appropriate lists.

Folks,=3D20

I'm delighted to alert folks to a review article I wrote in Science,
reviewing work about computer networks as social networks. In addition to
arguing that computer networks are social networks, it substantively
focuses on how the Internet fits into everyday (nonwork) life and
computer-mediated tools for knowledge acquisition and management in
networked organizations.

You can access this article via my website. The URL is below, just click
on Publications.

While you're there, feel free to sightsee some of my other recent,
relevant stuff.

Cheers, Barry

Subject: [Air-l] Question about research on migrant networks
Reply-To: air-l at aoir.org

Greetings,

Does anyone have knowledge of ongoing or published scholarly work =3D
regarding
Internet use by migrant networks, either 1) among expatriates/emigrants, =
=3D
or
2) between expatriates/emigrants and home country? I have personal
knowledge of many such networks, and the topic was discussed in Miller &
Slater (2000) _The Internet: An ethnographic approach_. However, I haven't
found anything else in the literature beyond the occasional reference to
Internet use as part of transnational networking. I am thinking about
future empirical research on this topic.

Thank you for your help,

Christina Courtright

Semi-related, is anyone aware of applications of immigration/migraiton
literature to patterns of interaction on the Internet?
