Jeremy Hunsinger holds a Ph.D. in Science and Technology Studies from Virginia Tech.

At Virginia Tech, he was one of the founders of the Center for Digital Discourse and Culture. He attended the Oxford Internet Institute’s 2004 Summer Doctoral Programme and was an instructor there in 2009 and 2011. Jeremy was Graduate Fellow of the NSF Workshop on Values in Information Systems Design in 2005 and 2010. He was an Ethics Fellow at the Center for Information Policy Research at the University of Wisconsin, Milwaukee, in 2007–2010. He was coeditor of the journal Learning Inquiry and has published in Fast Capitalism, The Information Society, Social Epistemology, and other leading academic journals. He recently also coedited a special issue on Learning and Research in Virtual Worlds for Learning, Media, & Technology. Jeremy coedited the International Handbook of Virtual Learning Environments and the International Handbook of Internet Research and has edited and contributed to several other volumes.

Matthew M. Allen is Professor of Internet Studies at Deakin University, Geelong, Australia. Matthew led the establishment of Internet Studies as a teaching and research program within Australia, setting up the first degree programs at undergraduate and postgraduate level at Curtin University in the 1990s and being appointed as Professor of Internet Studies and Head of Department. He is an award-winning educator, a Fellow of the Australian Learning and Teaching Council, and has more than 20 years’ experience and expertise in teaching students via the Internet. He has written widely on topics in this field, focusing primarily on the way in which Internet technologies cannot be used as “tools” to improve learning but are part of the dialogic experience of shared learning and teaching between students and academics. He is also a leading researcher of social consequences and meanings of the Internet, most recently publishing highly-cited work on the history of the Internet, focused on the origins, impact, and end of the so-called “web 2.0” period of Internet development. He is also a former President of the Association of Internet Researchers and helped internationalize the Association in its early years. His current research projects include consideration of the profound importance of the “Chinese Internet,” especially as it becomes a site of global political contestation; the recent history of the lived experience of broadband deployment in Australia; and the philosophical and cultural complexities of regulation of Internet content, conduct, and consequences.
