From Living Offline to a Critical Digital Literacy

In 2020, I will be completely offline...

This experiment is part of my candidacy process for the PhD program at McGill University in Montreal. I will be journaling daily and sharing highlights with friends and interested others through monthly mail-outs.

Going offline is not a protest against the internet. I am not trying to suggest that the way to be responsible online is to abstain from jacking in. My aim is to uncover ways that my life and world are changed without or with the internet. The research that will follow this self-study will investigate with students about how to be responsible and critical internet users.

For more information, or to sign up for monthly mail-outs, visit www.aronr.com . I will cover the cost of postage (with support from the Canadian government) but you are welcome to donate (here) to support this (postage, printing, etc.) and to help fund the related research/creative projects that I will undertake during my PhD.
