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.

Maddie Bennett from Bartholomew School in Eynsham spent last week with the communications team at college and found some friendly faces too!
Last week, the college welcomed guests for a special afternoon marking the launch of the Pirie Society.
The event celebrated the college’s new legacy society and recognised those who are considering, or have chosen, to leave a gift in their will to the college.
Their generosity will help shape the future of the college for generations to come.
