[Air-L] Article/literature on "conceptions of space/place" for teaching

[Janet Sternberg]

Greetings,

I discuss space and place in relation to digitization in my book, 
Misbehavior in Cyber Places: The Regulation of Online Conduct in Virtual 
Communities on the Internet (particularly in Chapter 2, section entitled 
"Space and Place").

Regards,
Janet
