[can-events] Whatever happened to the digital divide? Tues 3 June, 9 to 10am

Five years ago, many of us were concerned about the ‘digital divide’. Are
there still serious concerns about inequalities in citizens’ capacity to
access and use online services?  Hear two key speakers reflect on the
conceptual and empirical basis of the idea of the ‘digital divide’.
Professor Julian Thomas is Director of the Institute for Social Research at
Swinburne University and leads the international research program of the
new ARC Centre of Excellence for Creative Industries and Innovation.
Professor Denise Meredyth is Deputy Director of the Institute for Social
Research at Swinburne University and the program leader of the Citizenship
and Government program within the Institute.
