Internet Research, Theory, and Practice: Perspectives from Ireland Cathy Fowley

The articles presented in this edited book illustrate the broad diversity of internet-based studies in an Irish context, as well as the interdisciplinarity which distinguishes much of its outputs. From digital humanities in the strictest sense - through the creation and use of digital objects and resources to a close examination of digital texts, from ethical issues to societal issues - through the lenses of gender or nationality, from empirical research to practitioners reports, the chapters are a snapshot of internet research in Ireland. Our contributors come from many third-level institutions on the island - universities as well as institutes of technology, east and west, north and south -, thus illustrating a geographical space linked to digital spaces.
