Programs in sociology of internet culture?

[kilenee]

Hi all,

 

I just started my masters in cultural sociology in UK, and am planning to apply to phd programs next year.

My interest is a bit interdisciplinary, coming from media studies background in undergrad. 

Can you guys suggest any programs with professors researching internet, art, and culture? I'm looking into other interdisciplinary or media and communication programs as well. The only sociology program I can think of at the moment is princeton, with Dimaggio, and possibility media programs in NYU, Northwestern, and Brown (MCM). Any other programs or names that I should be aware of?

Thanks!

Perhaps you could also search from different angles, such as social network analysis, "web-mediated" interactions or behavior or language or psychology, cultural anthropology, ethnography of online or virtual communities, urban art or street art programs (because the internet is seen as akin to "street" space for art in some circles), or try to find scholars looking into Banksy's work, because some of that research examines his online presence, too.

 

Just some ideas
