Linguistic anthropology and ICT
by Francis Jervis 26 Nov '09

26 Nov '09

Has anyone come across studies on (or even better, is anyone working on) the application of linguistic anthro/ethnolinguistics techniques to the study of ICT by, in particular, indigenous/minority language groups? Preferably in English - I have come across some interesting Brazilian work but my Portuguese is ropey at best ;)

Articles on Government 2.0?
by Marius Johannessen 26 Nov '09

26 Nov '09

Does anyone know of articles from refeered journals that discusses the topic "government 2.0"? I've seen it a lot in blogs and government web pages, but I haven't had much luck finding academic writing about it. As I am comparing "2.0" use (I need a good definition for 2.0-technologies as well...) in democracy and public service delivery, It'd be good to have an umbrella term rather than constantly haveing to write "participation and public service delivery"...

Re: [Air-L] PHD-level courses in online research methods?
by "Minna Strömberg-Jakka" 26 Nov '09

26 Nov '09

Dear Karen, I picked your message concerning online research methods from this mailing list and have to say that in case you have some pdfs or other lecture material I would also be interested in receiving them. I also find this given internet link very useful. I would also like to ask which workshop were you talking about? Will there be an international conference and is it possible to get more information about it? My research subject is online counseling in social services, particularly social assistance here in Finland and that´s why these research methods are very much of my current interest right now since I´m planning to have some kind of a semi-structured inquiry in the internet for the users/clients of this online counseling service.
