First of all, I've just romped through your paper and you wrote that as an UNDERGRADUATE? Damn, you're good. I hear your pain on the internet studies/grad thing -- sometimes these things are hard to find but I am sure this is the perfect list to ask -- here are some good ones out there that I know in the UK, try: Royal Holloway near London Leicester University is developing into a hot place to 'do' internet studies (always look for a place with at least 2 people ... they have 5 or 6) Oxford Internet Institute (OII) some folk at Leeds and Goldsmith's (London) London School of Economics, they're developing this area our programme is great for abstract concepts/political communication and you could do a very fun MSc dissertation on this very topic ... I'm just now working with someone in Computing Science to tackle this sort of thing, see our programme at http://www.gla.ac.uk/postgraduate/taught/politicalcommunicationmscpgdip/ When I update my own webpage (www.media-politics.com) about this (good thing to put up), I'll Email back SAO Sarah Oates Professor of Political Communication School of Social and Political Sciences Adam Smith Building University of Glasgow Glasgow G12 8RT Email: sarah.oates@glasgow.ac.uk Website: www.media-politics.com <http://www.media-politics.com/> Telephone: (0)141 330 5124 The University of Glasgow, charity number SC004401 ________________________________ From: air-l-bounces@listserv.aoir.org on behalf of Devin Gaffney Sent: Wed 29/09/2010 17:52 To: air-l@listserv.aoir.org Subject: [Air-L] Graduate programs for "internet studies"? Hey all, I just finished an exhilarating undergraduate program that gave me enough flexibility in order to study the impact/efficacy of Twitter during the Iran Election(http://www.devingaffney.com/-iranelection-quantifying-online-activism ), but in order to pull it off, I had to really bend some of the institutions rules, and just barely got the necessary advisorship in order to study it in a reasonable way. I am looking to jump right back into school for the following academic year, and am trying to figure out which schools have which programs - it seems that the information/ websites for all the programs that do exist are well ensconced within their respective institutions websites, which tend towards labyrinthine. Does anyone have a good list of institutions (US/ elsewhere) where a Masters/PhD in fields either directly or otherwise closely related to "internet studies" (or "web science," or whatever term you use, as this even seems to be up in the air, as far as I can tell)? Obviously, there are places like Citizenlab, Berkman, and OII, which all seem to at least offer classes in some capacity, but are there any others i just haven't found?
