[Air-L] Farmers' use of the internet

Tue May 7 00:08:39 PDT 2019

Hi Philippa,

In my current postdoctoral project, I'm working in a community of (mostly)
farmers in rural England who built their own internet network (called B4RN
<https://b4rn.org.uk> -- broadband for the rural north), and many of my
interviews so far have engaged with exactly the issues you're interested in
(community building, information sharing, and engagement with government
services). I haven't published anything on this research yet because the
I've only just started the project, but I did a live-streamed interview
with one of the network co-founders for the Oxford Programme in Comparative
Media Law and Policy, which is available on our YouTube channel, in case
it's of interest: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ajqapItV1Hw

Best,
Kira
