Research question prophecy
I am far from actually beginning my research for the thesis I will be writing at @xpub next year. Still, together with my class we are already exploring interests, ideas, and PMOMMs. A pattern should be emerging out of them, outlining our research focus.
Yesterday, as I was chatting with @barbs, I somehow came up with a research question that feels particularly close to me. I am publishing it here for posterity, because I am super curious about how this will evolve over time.
What is the relationship between in-person networking and Web surfing in accruing social capital?
I want to investigate how life crossovers relate with clicking links and surfing the Web. Then, how do the two contribute to growing a person’s (or a community’s) social capital, in the interpretation of the word specific to Bourdieu’s philosophy?
