Nathaniel Poor, PhD

I am a communication researcher who studies how people use electronic forms of communication, which means newer forms like the internet but also older ones like the telegraph. Studying how people use the internet, and mobiles, and electronic games, means studying social, technological, historical, and legal issues. Maybe it's quantitative, maybe it's qualitative. Maybe it's computational social sciences, maybe it's interviews and participant observer. Currently I am an independent scholar and head of the Underwood Institute.

My current and previous research can be found with the "Papers" link in the left column, which is really why I made this page (I didn't like how Blogspot did it, even though Blogspot and this are both Google products). As with most paper pages, it is probably out of date, especially what with Google Scholar doing it for us to some extent.
