Field of Study - Geography

Supervisor: Dr Scott Sharpe

Co-Supervisor:  Dr Glenn Banks, Massey University, New Zealand

Research Topic - Cyberspaces:  a cultural geography of online communication

Cyberspace is a field which belies traditional notions of space bound communities, but which enables the development of social groupings which have, among other things, distinctive territories and citizenries, recognisable pasts, variegated futures and complex interrelationships with space bound groups. The thesis examines the development of social navigation points in three major social network sites; Facebook, Second Life and Myspace.
