| I was awarded my PhD in Social Anthropology from the University of Kent (UK) in 2010. My thesis, Urban Firewalls, analyzes the impact of information and communication technologies in a Catalan town with reference to nationalism, modernity, risk and aspirations for the future. I explore "online" and "offline" communication practices alongside concepts of space, otherness and boundary-making to elucidate how the Internet is indelibly tied to place-based realities and identities. I am also currently an admin at the Open Anthropology Cooperative (http://openanthcoop.ning.com) | |
