IBG-RGS Conference, 5-7 January 1999, University of Leicester
geography and the net: changing social relations in an Information
Age
The aim of this session is to pull together work examining the
impact of the net on social relations in an Information Age. A wide
variety of researchers are concerned with the development of the new
worlds of cyberspace and this session provides an opportunity to
showcase that work at a major academic conference. The scope of the
session is deliberately broad in order to attract a wide range of
papers and to explore widely the changing geographies of the net.
The kinds of issues people may wish to develop include:
- the idea of cyberspace and its conceptualisation
- the history and uneven development of the net
- new cybergeographies and their contestation
- the net and the reconstruction of knowledges
- new opportunities and constraints in the research process
- new opportunities and constraints for learning
