Where do we disconnect from our devices — and what role do physical spaces play in that?

Together with Nils S. Borchers, I have a new article out today in Media, Culture & Society: "Spaces of digital disconnection: A go-along study of dining areas, libraries, and movie theaters."

Using a go-along method, we examined how everyday spaces like dining areas, libraries, and movie theaters shape people's disconnection from digital media — sometimes by social norms, sometimes by institutional rules, sometimes simply by the atmosphere of a place.

Our findings suggest that digital disconnection is not just an individual practice, but is deeply embedded in the spatial and social contexts we move through.
