Other list members may be interested in the Forum: Qualitative Social Research. I have included their details below. I am interested in how a networked environment may alter our research methods. There is a prospect of new media becoming available allowing both for a revision of how we do our research and how we disseminate our findings. The article by Andreas Wittel gives an interesting review of some of the impacts networked technology might have on ethnographic research. He looks in particular at the idea of locality but his article ranges over a number of significant issues. There are a number of other articles in this edition that raise issues about research in a networked environment. I hope you find the reference interesting and if anyone would like to begin discussing issues related to the articles I for one would be very interested.
