Quitting Social Media - the project
Dear AoIR friends and colleagues, I have been thinking a lot recently about people who chose to disengage from digital culture. To that end, I’ve launched a project at King’s called Quitting Social Media and I would love to hear from you about your experiences of social media use, ambivalence and retreat. I’d be especially grateful if you could complete this short online survey (it takes about 5 minutes): https://goo.gl/forms/Sca5AZB94DCsz0BA3. If you happen to be in London on Friday 14 July or Wednesday 26 July 2017, please consider taking part in a focus group. You can sign up at https://doodle.com/poll/xyz5a6vk58fpzmn4 or just drop me an email. The Quitting Social Media project aims to provide insight into how social media users – and former users – negotiate today’s connectivity culture. Full project details are at https://quittingsocialmedia.wordpress.com. Please share widely. Many thanks for your support, Zeena Dr Zeena Feldman Lecturer in Digital Culture Co-Director, BA Digital Culture King’s College London Department of Digital Humanities 26-29 Drury Lane, room 221 London WC2B 5RL +44 (0)20 7484 1421 / zeena.feldman@kcl.ac.uk<mailto:zeena.feldman@kcl.ac.uk> http://www.kcl.ac.uk/artshums/depts/ddh/people/academic/feldman.aspx
Dear Zena, Thank you for sharing this project. Have you seen this recent blog and the article by one of my fellow students, Theodora Sutton, at the Oxford Internet Institute? https://www.oii.ox.ac.uk/blog/exploring-the-world-of-digital-detoxing/ It might be of interest.
