Between the Stirrup and the Ground: Relocating Digital Activism: by Nishant Shah — published Aug 23, 2011 — last modified Oct 25, 2015 05:58 AM — filed under: Digital Activism, Digital Natives, Research, Net Cultures, Publications, Researchers at Work
In this peer reviewed research paper, Nishant Shah and Fieke Jansen draws on a research project that focuses on understanding new technology, mediated identities, and their relationship with processes of change in their immediate and extended environments in emerging information societies in the global south. It suggests that endemic to understanding digital activism is the need to look at the recalibrated relationships between the state and the citizens through the prism of technology and agency. The paper was published in Democracy & Society, a publication of the Center for Democracy and Civil Society, Volume 8, Issue 2, Summer 2011.

One. Zero.: by Nishant Shah — published Sep 17, 2012 — last modified Apr 24, 2015 11:50 AM — filed under: Researchers at Work, Information Technology, Digital Natives

So sophisticated is this network of digital infrastructure that we forget how our languages of connection are constantly being transcribed in binary code, allowing for the information to be transmitted across the web.
