- Five years of research began in 2011 with a $280,000 award from The MacArthur Foundation for an ethnographic project in a London school. Following the preparation of extensive fieldwork protocols and ethics review, the project centred on a full fieldwork year in a Year 9 class, followed by several months of further interviews and in-depth analysis. Some two years were then devoted to writing and revising the book manuscript. Fieldwork encompassed in-class observations, interviews with the children teachers, visits to the children’s homes to interview them and their parents, and observations of their digital networks and offline social/educational activities.
