#xpubthesis — Public Fediverse posts

For the record, here are the other impulsive, spontaneous, unhinged research questions I came up with in 10 minutes of rapid brainstorming, last Wednesday.

• How can decentralised, peer-to-peer, and encrypted communication protocols favour the development of autonomous and localised yet federated communities?
• What concrete communication technologies can already be adopted to prepare for a post-climate collapse world?
• How can practices of networking and collaboration benefit the re-population of rural areas?
• What role did the neoliberal progression of tech oligopolies play in the de-politicisation of technology?
• How can community-maintained infrastructure serve the needs of all the World’s population?

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?
