Hello,
I am a graduate student in HCI at Carnegie Mellon University and am
starting my dissertation on the topic of residential mobility as a natural
experiment on the health of social ties (how people use/don't use
technology for keeping in touch and creating new relationships and whether
they are successful). I am specifically interested in migration within
country, not international migration. I was wondering if anyone knows of
any similar work (quantitative or qualitative). Also, I am curious if
anyone knows of any ethnographies of the process of contemporary
residential mobility within countries.
Thank you!!
