Second edition of Professor Mark Graham’s Society and the Internet available now
A second edition of Society and the Internet from Green Templeton College Senior Research Fellow Professor Mark Graham has been published by Oxford University Press.
The new book, co-edited by Mark and William H. Dutton, gives an overview of the key issues surrounding the internet and its impact on society.
It has been fully updated and presents the latest research from leading scholars, looking at how that research can generate debate on theory, policy, and practice.
New chapters cover topics including fake news, memes, digital health, and the platform economy.
The book features a foreword by Manual Castells and is split into five focused sections: The Internet in Everyday Life; Digital Rights and Human Rights; Networked Ideas, Politics and Governance; Networked Businesses, Industries and Economics; and Technological and Regulatory Histories and Futures.
Mark, who is Professor of Internet Geography at the Oxford Internet Institute, said: “It was a pleasure getting to work with so many talented scholars, and with my wonderful co-editor and collaborator Bill Dutton. I hope you all enjoy the collection.”
Society and the Internet: How Networks of Information and Communication are Changing our Lives (2019) is available as hardback, paperback, or eBook via Oxford University Press.
The college is delighted to welcome a new Oxford PharmaGenesis DPhil Scholarship in Translational Health.

Yesterday our alumni celebrated the 2026 Mid-Autumn Festival in Hong Kong alongside @st_annescollege alumni at the two societies’ first co-organised event.
The group gathered at a Michelin-starred restaurant to mark the joyful occasion, make new connections and enjoy exquisite traditional food together.
It is wonderful to see the two college alumni societies bringing the wider Oxford community together for what Nathaniel Chan (MBA, 2016), co-chair of the Green Templeton College Hong Kong Alumni Society, described as ‘a memorable occasion’.
Plans are already taking shape for a hike and karaoke event in November, following an ‘impressive impromptu a cappella performance by one alumnus’ at the lunch.

🌌 Last weekend, Green Templeton welcomed Nobel Prize-winning astronomer Professor Brian Schmidt for the latest event in our Astronomy for All series.
Professor Schmidt took a packed audience on a journey through more than 13 billion years of cosmic history, from the Big Bang to the distant future of the Universe. He explored what we know about the cosmos, how we know it and some of the biggest mysteries that remain.
The lecture was chaired by Governing Body Fellow Rob Fender, Professor of Astrophysics at the University of Oxford, and continued our celebration of Green Templeton’s connections with Oxford Astrophysics.
Our Oceania Alumni Group is on a roll after successful events in Sydney, Brisbane and last night in Perth.
We`re very thankful to the group`s committee for their energy, commitment and hard work in bringing the community together. It’s wonderful to see connections being strengthened, engagement growing, and the alumni community going from strength to strength.
Exciting times ahead!
If you would like to join a local alumni group, let us know!
