Cocreating support
As digital inclusion support is not one-size-fits-all, one should consider the implementation context and include stakeholder perspectives. Using cocreation, a digital inclusion intervention is designed for Dutch parents in poverty. An integral intervention approach is taken, considering barriers in all internet appropriation phases (attitude & motivation, material access, skills, and usage). This study holds two phases: a cocreation workshop and…
Internet appropriation barriers in the lives of Dutch parents living in poverty
As poverty and digital exclusion go hand in hand, knowing what hinders parents in poverty from profiting from internet opportunities is crucial. This study identifies barriers in the four internet appropriation phases – attitude and motivation, material access, skills, usage – and their connections with life domains – economic, social, cultural, personal. We conducted 18 semi-structured interviews with Dutch parents in poverty. The findings highl…
Exploring Barriers to and Outcomes of Internet Appropriation Among Households Living in Poverty
While poverty can be regarded as an issue with many different causes and dimensions, research indicates that enhancing digital inclusion may positively contribute to alleviating poverty. Therefore, it is of great importance to better understand the factors that may hinder internet appropriation for households facing poverty. However, no clear overview exists of the barriers to and outcomes of internet appropriation for this exact target audience.…
The irony of the smart home
We consider inequalities within households to be an important step for increasing our understanding of digital inequalities perpetuated by smart homes. We argue that the key to understanding the use of the Internet of Things is household choreographies rather than individual practices. We specifically address different power relations between household members in regard to their use of IoT devices. Using interview data collected through five visi…
Development and validation of the Internet of Things Skills Scale (IoTSS)
The Internet of Things (IoT) is expected to have a massive impact on people’s lives. However, the system’s complexity is also likely to make it an important topic of investigation in digital inequality research. Those who have the skills to use the IoT to its full potential and gain maximal benefits have a technology at hand that will have the power to increase their (already privileged) positions. Prerequisites for and impacts of user (consumer)…
The orchestrated digital inequalities of the IoT
As the Internet of Things (IoT) is becoming the next frontier for the digital divide, we argue that access to most of the IoT and its benefits are hindered by vendor lock-in. Yet, people with an advanced set of operational skills can find creative ways to overcome vendor lock-in. In this article, we study socio-contextual dispositions to why some people are better able to capitalize on IoT benefits creatively than others. We use interview data an…
Trust in the institution and privacy management of Internet of Things devices. A comparative case study of Dutch and Norwegian households
In a society that is everyday more digitized, the legislation is slowly catching up with the latest frontiers of privacy related vulnerabilities, especially when it comes to the Internet of Things. However, studies have shown that the responsibility for data protection falls more and more on the shoulders of individual users, that are often ill-equipped to recognize threats and take the necessary measures to ensure their right to privacy is respe…
Keeping violent offender rehabilitation on track
There is an urgent need to understand how programming inside prisons can facilitate rehabilitation and reentry processes, especially among men convicted of violent offenses. GRIP (Guiding Rage into Power) is a year-long “Offender Accountability” program presently spreading through the California prison system. GRIP is a group-therapy and trauma-healing program that follows a somatic-awareness-centered model. We use audiovisual data to investigate…
Digital inequalities in the Internet of Things
The Internet of Things (IoT) is more complex and abstract than previous information and communication technologies as there are many connections occurring. New challenges for users arise from increased amount of data, decisions made automatically, less visibility and more ambiguity, and magnified security and privacy risks. There is a fair chance that only a selective group will benefit, making it important to study IoT from a digital inequality …
Mediated Interaction Rituals
The Movement for Black Lives has connected millions of people online. How are their outrage and hope mediated through social media? To address this question, this article extends Randall Collins’s Interaction Ritual Theory to social media. Employing semisupervised image recognition methods on a million Instagram posts with the hashtag #blacklivesmatter, we identify four different interaction ritual types, each with distinct geographies. Instagram…

Inequalities in the social use of the Internet of things
In this article, we set out to explain different types of social uses of the Internet of Things (IoT) using forms of capital and Internet skills. We argue that the IoT platform entices different manners of social communication that are easily overlooked when focusing on the novelty of smart “things.” How people use the IoT socially is crucial in trying to understand how people create, maintain, or absolve social relations in a networked society. …
Sociologizing with Randall Collins
In the interview in this article, Randall Collins discusses various aspects of his oeuvre. First, he considers why interaction rituals (IRs) in religion are special emotional transformers. This is followed by a discussion of IRs in the digital age and the symbolic and economic power that is required to orchestrate IRs in politics and revolutions. Then comes a discussion of social scientific research into violence, in the past and more recently. T…
