The Austin Memory Project is a 10-year long multi-method research project that explores the historical and current dynamics of cultural resource distribution, historical segregation patterns, and intergenerational social and cultural capital transmission of the immigrant communities in Austin, Texas from 1875 - 2000. The historical mapping data can be accessed through the online GIS system - the Cultural Resource Explorer.
http://austinmemory.org Austin Internet and Global Citizens Survey Who are we? We are a small research team of professors and graduate students in the Department of Radio-TV-Film at the University of Texas at Austin (UT), who are interested in the study of how a variety of people use communications media and technology, such as the Internet, TV, radio, and newspapers. For this project, we have joined hands with the City of Austin’s Office of Telecommunications and Regulatory Affairs, who are interested in the same information to better plan city services in telecommunications, cable TV and Internet services. What is the purpose of the project? Our questionnaire survey project aims to explore the general usage patterns of communications media and technology among residents of the City of Austin. In particular, this study is primarily interested in understanding the current state of who is using, or not, and why, several kinds of media in the new digital media environment and the personal or other factors that either encourage or inhibit one’s engagement with advanced digital technology. Some of the questions that we intend to explore through the project are as follows: How do Austin residents access and use general entertainment and information media, such as newspapers, radio, and TV? How do Austin residents access and use new communications media, such as cell phones, computers, and the Internet? How do Austin residents access and use information media and resources offered by the City of Austin? How do personal differences—such as differences in gender, age, place of birth, education, parental influences, network of friends—among Austin residents relate to their access to and use of media and technology?
