Résumé

Erhardt Graeff is a research assistant within the Institutional Cooperation Research Group project and a recent MPhil graduate from the University of Cambridge, where he focused on sociological theory and qualitative examination of rural internet use and social capital. In various forms/fora, he has researched and written on digital divides, e-government, networked public spheres, new media literacy, and Wikipedia. Occasionally, he flexes his web programming skills gained while an IT student at Rochester Institute of Technology, but right now he would rather work on his Russian than his Ruby.
