He will be discussing how technological changes associated with the rise of a network society have influenced how we maintain social networks, access information, and use private, parochial and public spaces. This presentation explores a series of empirical studies that look at how the internet, mobile phones and other new media influence the structure of people’s social networks, communicative practices, and use of space.

Dr. Hampton has been involved in a number of projects that focus on the relationship between information and communication technologies, social networks, and the urban environment including: the Social Interaction in Public Spaces: A Longitudinal Study; the Pew Internet and American Life Project: Community and Social Networks; the Social Life of Wireless Urban Spaces; and the networking site i-neighbors.org.
