- Disconnecting with Social Networking Sites was written over 3 years and is based on 26 in depth interviews conducted with people living in the north of England. The work takes an extensive look at how disconnection figures in people’s social media usage across the domains of public life, personal life, work and health. It also considers the treatment of disconnection across a range of disciplines and presents a new theoretical framework of disconnective practice. This theory draws upon science and technology studies and provides a thorough overview of key approaches in this broad church of work to do this.
