Forum
Really? Asking a specialised forum on critical geography for a few ideas for papers is a problem? Are they allowed to use Google or web of knowledge? or is that asking software to do a job that they really should be doing themselves?
Surely anyone who does not want to help out will simply click delete and those who are happy to help will do so?
Were I in this field I would be happy to furnish Moreton et al with a few ideas to help advance human knowledge.

Dear all,
With respect, but if you have been AHRC funded to conduct a literature review on this theme, then you surely should go ahead and do it yourself, rather than ask everyone else across this forum to do some of the work for you?!
Just a thought ...

Subject: Looking for Literature: methods for conducting ethnographic/qualitative work online
Dear all,
Apologies for cross posting.
We are currently searching for literature that considers methods for conducting ethnographic/qualitative work online. This includes work on ethics, approaches, methodological issues and examples of work that engages with online communities, such as chatrooms or discussion fora, and social media platforms such as Facebook. If anyone on this list could recommend any work on this topic we would be most grateful.
The review is for an AHRC-funded Connecting Communities Scoping Study entitled 'Crafting communities: connecting 'online' and 'offline' making practices'. The remit of the project is to conduct a literature review and fieldwork to explore the relationship between everyday creative practices and the use of digital technologies among craft practitioners. It also interrogates experiences of connectivity, and how (dis)connection affects the contours and experiences of everyday life.
We will compile and circulate a bibliography in due course. Any suggestions greatly appreciated!
Best wishes
Dr Simon Moreton, Dr Nicola Thomas, Dr Roberta Comunian, Dr Caroline Chapain.
