Hi All, I don't think AoIR work can be encapsulated in a sentence. And I embrace the transdisciplinary nature of everyone's work. In that spirit, rather than try to write a monolithic description, I would love to hear how each of you would describe/define "Internet Research". What is it? Who does it? Why do it? I have been having trouble articulating some of my own work and would love to know how you are doing it. I appreciate your time and effort and will gladly share a compiled list of all the responses I get if anyone is interested. Thanks in advance, Gordon Carlson PS - if you also want to send me your 2-3 sentence versions or versions that focus on how YOU study the internet I'd be happy to read those as well. -- Gordon Carlson Assistant Professor, Communication Studies, Fort Hays State University Executive Director, Society for Conceptual Logistics in Communication Research (sclcr.com) Twitter: @Gordon_Carlson Facebook: Gordon.S.Carlson Phone: 541.990.1155
