Dear all,

Further to an email last month asking for assistance in piecing together 
a bibliography of work that tackles the methods, ethics etc. of online 
ethnography, please find below a work-in-progress reading list. I have 
included it in the body of this message in case the mailing-list servers 
reject attachments. The document can also be downloaded here: 
http://connectingcraftcommunities.files.wordpress.com/2011/02/crit-geog-reading-list.docx

Many, many thanks to those who suggested papers. We are very grateful 
for the support of our peers! Another great resource linked to these 
themes is the reading list put together by Dr Sam Kinsley. That can be 
found here: 
http://www.samkinsley.com/2012/01/26/a-preliminary-bibliography-for-studies-of-codespaces/#more-453

We hope to share a much more comprehensive list of reading once the 
project has progressed further. In the meantime, please direct follow-up 
correspondence to Dr Nicola Thomas ([log in to unmask]).

Best wishes,

Simon
