[Air-l] Residential mobility and technology use

[Irina Shklovski]

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!!
