Bridgette Wessels, a sociologist at Sheffield University, has put together what
looks like a very interesting seminar series for the coming months, under the
heading Interdisciplinary Research in Socio-Digital Worlds (IRiS). They are
intended as more than just presentations. The aim is to create links between
researchers, involve users and stakeholders, identify research gaps and
generate ideas for collaboration. Each event is organised around a distinct
theme - 1. participation, 2. identity, privacy and publicness, 3. culture, and
4. inclusion/exclusion.
The first two dates have confirmed speakers/schedules, and I think they will
all be well worth making time for if you're within reach of Sheffield. The
first one is this Wednesday.
