Yale ISP Executive Director Dr. Laura DeNardis is presenting this weekend at the Third International Workshop on Global Internet Governance at McGill University in Montreal (QC) Canada. The workshop is being organized by the Global Internet Governance Academic Network (GigaNet), a scholarly community founded in spring of 2006 in conjunction with the United Nations Internet Governance Forum to:
*support the establishment of a global network of scholars specializing in Internet Governance issues;
*promote the development of Internet governance as a recognized, interdisciplinary field of study;
*advance theoretical and applied research on Internet governance, broadly defined, and;
*facilitate informed dialogue on policy issues and related matters between scholars and Internet governance stakeholders (governments, international organizations, the private sector, and civil society).
DeNardis, a member of GigaNet since its inception, will present on the opening panel about “What is Internet Governance research and what do different academic disciplines contribute to it?” DeNardis will discuss the study of Internet governance from the methodological and theoretical perspectives of the field of Science and Technology Studies (STS).
