Dear CT, Thanks for writing. This is an important issue and I'm glad more people are writing about it. Whatever approach you take, you should read Elizabeth Kubler-Ross and Michael Leming. There is a recent paper by Alice Marwick in the Journal of Broadcasting and Electronic Media, about grieving online that will also be of interest to you. My recently completed dissertation, Journalism in the Age of Social Media: The Case of the "In Memorial: Virginia Tech" Facebook Group, which is available in the Digital Dissertations database, might be of some help as well. From a case study perspective, I recommend the methodological work of Robert Yin and Robert Stake. I hope this helps, Peter On Sat, Dec 29, 2012 at 3:35 AM, Cagla Taskin <ctasquin@yahoo.com> wrote:
Dear list members,
I am currently writing my Master's thesis on practices of grieving and bereavement online, with a focus on a suicide survivors forum case study. Any literature recommendations would be highly appreciated.
Thank you in advance, CT _______________________________________________ The Air-L@listserv.aoir.org mailing list is provided by the Association of Internet Researchers http://aoir.org Subscribe, change options or unsubscribe at: http://listserv.aoir.org/listinfo.cgi/air-l-aoir.org
