AoIRistas, Please see the invitation below - this is our ninth annual research conference hosted by the undergraduate students in our Internet Communication major. This year the theme is Debating Communities and Networks. Every year, we invite a wide range of people, including many scholars, to offer feedback on the papers written by our students. If you've got a even a few minutes to spare, we'd love if you could visit and possibly leave a comment on any of the papers that take your interest! Each time this runs, our students are blown away by having comments from scholars from across the world, often including the people whose work has been the foundation of their conference papers. Thanks in advance to anyone who has time to visit! -Tama ------ Dear colleagues, The staff and students of the Internet Studies program at Curtin University and Curtin Mauritius, are pleased to announce the ninth Debating Communities and Networks Conference running from 6 MAY to 24 MAY 2019 at: http://networkconference.netstudies.org/2019Curtin Hosted and organised annually by students in the Internet Communications degree program, the conference focuses on online networks, and the relationships between individuals and the groups to which they belong.
