Master's Research Survey Request
by Kristi Scott 20 Feb '09

20 Feb '09

Hello everyone, I am doing some research for my master's thesis examining the Second Life avatar and real world self. The purpose of this research study is to better understand the personality of the real world self and primary avatar. If you could take a few minutes of your time to take this survey it would be incredibly helpful to my research. Also, please feel free to circulate the link as I'd like to get as many respondents as possible. http://www.surveymonkey.com/s.aspx?sm=Nyu9US_2b1sE98ZOmEWojwqg_3d_3d Thank you!

Laszlo Check out Homeless Nation - http://homelessnation.org/en/about - "a website by and for the homeless" from Canada - I came across it a couple of years ago. It's interesting and maybe helpful to you as a starting point.

I think the one you mean is: Schmitz, Joseph. "Structural Relations, Electronic Media, and Social Change: The Public Electronic Network and the Homeless". In: Jones, Steven G., (ed.).

Re: [Air-L] Using Wikis in Qualitative Research
by Denise N. Rall 19 Feb '09

19 Feb '09

Mike - As I recall our keynote speaker in Copenhagen last year, Mimi Ito, employed wikis in her intergrated research project with (over?) 35 researchers from different(?) universities. The team used wikis extensively to organise their various research endeavours and resulting publications. Whether they used the wiki with participants or not will be the answer to your question. I don't remember in that much detail but large scale research projects like hers might be a good place to start. Denise N. Rall, PhD.

In other words, studies where the researcher actually used the wiki as a method to facilitate interaction between researcher and participants for whatever reason?

You might want to take a look at Chris Le Dantec's work on "Designs on dignity: perceptions of technology among the homeless". http://portal.acm.org/citation.cfm?id=1357155 There was also a related piece in ACM's Interactions magazine a few months back. Message: 1 Date: Wed, 18 Feb 2009 18:01:28 -0500 From: Peter Timusk <ptimusk(a)sympatico.ca> Subject: Re: [Air-L] internet and homelessness To: air-l(a)listserv.aoir.org Message-ID: <BLU0-SMTP565941618EC0B5F5ACEBB5DCB50(a)phx.gbl> Content-Type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII; delsp=yes; format=flowed I suspect there is a temporary negative correlation. Internet use and access and experience suggest less risk for homelessness. But perhaps homelessness is too closely tied to income.

Dear Laslow, Diana George has written on newspapers published by and for and around issues of homelessness, and some these papers have an online presence. http://www.composition.english.vt.edu/diana/Scholarship.html <http://www.composition.english.vt.edu/diana/Scholarship.html> inlcudes references for her work on the homeless.

Bill Dutton on homelessness
by Sandra Braman 19 Feb '09

The classic work on the Internet and homelessness was published by Bill Dutton, now head of the Oxford Internet Institute, who studied the PEN project in Santa Monica, California, in the early 1990s. Look for publication dates in the terrain of 1994. What he learned still obtains. Sandra Braman
