"Living Networked
in a Wired World"
Research Personnel:
Barry Wellman
Description:
As the world
changes from operating in groups to operating in networks, how do people's
lives change at work and in the community? This project is developing integrated
analyses of how networks operate in market economies, institutionally-based
economies (i.e., eastern Europe), and informal economies. A book-length treatise
(Personal Communities) is being prepared. An edited collection
of original articles (by Wellman and others worldwide) has been published.
(Networks in the Global Village, 1999). Both books published by Westview
Press. Supported by the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of
Canada.
