Understanding Online Gender: Structures and Use of Computer Mediated Communication and its Social Environments.
Funding: 2003: $65,000
2004: $67,000
2005: $65,000
Funding or Partner Organisation: Australian Research Council (ARC Discovery Projects)
Start year: 2003
Summary: The project uses participant observation of the Internet mailing list Cybermind, to explore the dynamics and effects of gender online. Users of the list will be followed through their everyday interactions, and through their experience of other online forums, to see how these effects vary. Presentation of gender in personal Web pages will also be investigated, as will patterns of exploration of the Web. Results will help the design of Internet communication structures, by government and business, which are supportive of both multi-gendered communication and use of the World Wide Web, given variations in topic and social function.
