Jamie Bartlett
Author of The Dark Net
Jamie Bartlett is the Director of Demos' Centre for the Analysis of Social Media.
Date: 12 November 2014, 16:00 – 18:00
Place: Windsor Building, WIN 0-05
His new book is a revelatory examination of the net's most shocking and unexplored subcultures: trolls and home-pornographers, drug dealers and hackers, political extremists and computer scientists, Bitcoin programmers and self-harmers, libertarians and vigilantes.
Jamie will talk to the New Political Communication Unit about his new book. He will also discuss Demos’ research on digital media and politics and the challenge we face as researchers in this field.
