Inquiry Postdoctoral fellowships at Curtin University
by mvn0833＠garnet.acns.fsu.edu 19 Sep '04

19 Sep '04

Dear Dr. Matthew Allen, I am writing to you regarding the Internet Studies fellowship at Curtin and would like to consult with you concerning one particular aspect of the application criteria. Before that, however, please accept my thanks for offering to advise potential applicants. I will be finishing my dissertation in December at Florida State University, Department of Communication and was wondering whether my ABD status at the time of application for the fellowship would spoil all my chances of consideration. My major area of interest is in Internet studies, particularly rhetorical investigations of virtual communities. The dissertation itself is a case study of an "imagined community" that is constituted rhetorically via an online health-related magazine. A paper that I wrote on civic journalism and virtual communities won a Top Four Paper award at the National Communication Association, the Human Communication and Technology Division, last year. I'm considering Australia upon graduation as a potential job market and as a matter of fact have been looking at Curtin's Internet Studies program earlier this summer. If you'd like more information about my work and background I'd be glad to honor any additional questions that you may have. I look forward to hearing from you at your convenience and wish you a great time in Sussex. Sincerely, Mihaela Nocasian Ph. D.

email lists available of UK Internet users?
by David Brake 18 Sep '04

18 Sep '04

I am contemplating an email-based survey of home page owners in the UK. I have some sympathy with Krishnamurthy, S. (2004) "The Ethics of Conducting E-Mail Surveys" in Readings in Virtual Research Ethics : Issues and Controversies, (Buchanan, E. A. ed.) Information Science Pub., Hershey, PA, http://faculty.washington.edu/sandeep/d/emailethics.pdf who suggests unsolicited survey requests could be considered spam and that academics should share lists of opted in email users where possible. So on the off chance this is possible has anyone assembled a reasonably large store of email addresses of UK Internet users - especially of UK home page owners? If I were to assemble a list of UK home page owners and received agreement from those contacted would others be willing and able to share it for their own research? If we could agree on a purposive sampling technique that would be methodologically (and ethically) defensible would anyone else be willing to help me to build such a list? -- David Brake, PhD researcher in Media and Communications, London School of Economics & Political Science <http://www.lse.ac.uk/collections/media@lse/study/mPhilPhDMediaAndCommunicat…> Also see http://davidbrake.org/ (home page) and http://blog.org/ (weblog) Author of Dealing With E-Mail - <http://davidbrake.org/dealingwithemail/> gives ordering info

Hi Kate, In your last message you mention networked laptops in conference rooms, are these available in each room? I thought I'd read most rooms only had Macs? If this is the case will they be able to project powerpoint presentations stored on a memory stick? Thanks Alison -----Original Message----- From: air-l-aoir.org-bounces(a)listserv.aoir.org [mailto:air-l-aoir.org-bounces@listserv.aoir.org]On Behalf Of Kathleen O'Riordan Sent: 17 September 2004 09:27 To: Association of Internet Researchers Subject: [Air-l] phone cards, internet access for en suite, aoir Hi Andrea There will be information in the rooms when you arrive on how to use this service but 'York House' is the place. This is also the 24 hour security desk and the late arrivals point.

RE: WiFi in Sussex
by Axel Bruns 16 Sep '04

16 Sep '04

G'day ! On the WiFi issue, for future AoIR conferences it might be worth our while to ask the folks who organised ISEA2004 (www.isea2004.net) last month about their experience... That conference had full and open WiFi access to the Net for all delegates in all three conference sites - in Tallinn, Helsinki, and (most impressively) on a cruise ship between Stockholm and Tallinn. I _think_ they teamed up with local ISPs to make this possible. -- Dr Axel Bruns a.bruns(a)qut.edu.au - http://snurb.info/ Media & Communication Musk Ave, Kelvin Grove, Qld. 4059, Australia Creative Industries Faculty Z2-202, CIP - (07) 3864 5548 Queensland University of Technology CRICOS No.: 00213J

OII Alumni
by T Kennedy 16 Sep '04

I would like to connect with any OII Alumni - form this year and last year. I know there are some of us going to the conference, but we should gather all Oxford Internet Doctoral Students together and have a beverage. If you are OII Alumni - send me an email (off list), and I will try and arrange a time and place for us to meet. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Tracy L.M.

internet access
by T Kennedy 16 Sep '04

16 Sep '04

I must have missed this when i chose rooms - otherwise I wouldn't have chosen the standard room. Does anyone know how many computers with internet are available in the 'computer pool room'? It will be interesting to see flocks of people try and use these computers. I guess there will be no session blogging for me this year :( or hardly any access period. Are there any other access points on the campus? or labs that we can gain access to? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Tracy L.M.
