- This 112,000 word monography reports an original project that began on receipt of MacArthur Foundation funding of $493,000 in 2014. Conceptual work involved a thorough synthesis of theories on parenting, family and digital media across media and communications, sociology, psychology and education. Empirical work involved in-depth semi-ethnographic fieldwork with 73 families and three digital media learning sites from 2015-2016, following a year of protocol development and ethical assurance. This was complemented by conducting a nationally-representative UK survey of 2000 parents in 2017. In-depth analysis and writing took a further 18 months in 2018-19.
