Editorial Board: Names and affiliations
This exciting new journal is unique in its aim to concentrate specifically on the social, economic and cultural impact of the emerging properties of the information age. Information, Communication & Society (iCS) transcends cultural and geographical boundaries as it explores a diverse range of issues relating to the development and application of information and communications technologies (ICTs), asking such questions as:- What are the new and evolving forms of computer- mediated human interaction? What direction will these forms take?- How are information and communication technologies (ICTs) facilitating globalization; and how might this affect conceptions of local identity, ethnic differences and regional sub-cultures?- Are ICTs leading to an age of electronic surveillance and social control? What are the implications for policing criminal activity, citizen privacy, and public expression?- How are ICTs affecting daily life and social structures such as the family, work and organization, commerce and business, education, health care and leisure activities?- To what extent do the virtual worlds constructed using ICTs impact on the construction of objects, spaces and entities in the material world?
A Wide-ranging, Interdisciplinary Approach iCS analyses such questions from a global, interdisciplinary perspective in contributions of the very highest quality from scholars and practitioners in the social sciences, gender and cultural studies, communication and media studies, as well as in the information and computer sciences. iCS will also explore the very latest developments in nanotechnology, biotechnology, immunology and other areas which are closely related to developments in information technologies, and their implications for social and economic change.
