Dear all,
In preparation for next Friday’s unit meeting, please find attached a draft paper that we are currently working on with Courtney and Antonis as part of the INEQNEWS project.
In this paper, we attempt to combine findings from a three-wave survey with insights from online in-depth data-trace interviews. While we initially planned to only circulate the literature review, we decided to also include the methods and (preliminary) results sections, as they may help provide a clearer sense of the overall direction of the paper.
While there’s no particular deadline, ideally, we hope to submit it sometime before the summer to journals such as Social Media + Society, Human Communication Research, or New Media & Society. We are not clear about this yet, so suggestions are of course very welcome.
In particular, we would greatly appreciate your thoughts on the following:
*
Is the problematization clear and convincing?
*
Is the literature review clear, and not too dense/repetitive?
*
We are currently experimenting with different ways of referring to “attention challenges” (e.g., attention control, attention problems). Since we do not want to frame this as a clinical issue but rather as a broader phenomenon related to attention, we would welcome suggestions on how best to approach this conceptually.
*
Any thoughts on key elements that should be highlighted in the discussion section?
Many thanks and looking forward to your feedback.
Have a great weekend!
Best,
Constanza
