About
I will report on the Everyday Internet research project, a qualitative investigation of internet use in a socially / culturally / economically diverse downtown neighbourhood of Toronto. This interdisciplinary study is informed by contemporary information policy debates over privacy protection and universal accessibility.
The talk will highlight the complex interplay of these issues and offer policy suggestions. It will conclude by sketching future research directions involving a Canada-wide set of related case studies that are part of the recently launched Canadian Research Alliance for Community Innovation and Networking (CRACIN).
