the Faculty of Social Sciences of the University of Vienna, is aiming to develop an e-learning supported environment for beginning students of the social sciences.

Project LINC aims to learn about
and to learn from the articulations
of indigenous presence online, as gleaned from the perspective of indigenous persons. This is done by means of a web-based survey
that invites indigenous persons and groups whose cyber-activities, in their respective ways, contribute to the re-presentations and brokerage of indigeneity
online.
Project LINC is conducted by Kyra Landzelius (University of Gothenburg) and Philipp Budka (University of Vienna) and funded by the Wenner-Gren
Foundation for Anthropological Research.

Philipp Budka's dissertation project at the Department of Social and Cultural Anthropology of the University of Vienna intends to investigate the usage of internet technologies
by First Nation peoples in Northwestern Ontario, Canada.
In doing so, it focuses on the production of internet media and how these technologies are practiced in the indigenous communities;
particularly in respect to the creation of networks and the ways indigenous culture and identities are constructed and represented.
The focus of the project is the First Nation internet service provider K-Net and in particular
MyKnet.org, a K-Net service that provides community members with an online space for
personal homepages. With this online environment as case study, the project is aiming to learn about
a) how people construct their identity online,
b) how people use the internet to establish and strengthen family, friendship and community ties,
and
c) how people utilize new media to represent First Nation communities, their members and their
real life experiences.
For detailed information take a look at the MyKnet.org research
website
and the shortened English version of the PhD project's concept (PDF, 32 KB).
