Thesis
My PhD thesis was submitted in October 2009 and was examined in June 2010. The title is ‘Convergence and the right to communicate: assessing the application of media law to the Internet‘. You can read a rather relieved post about it here, including a summary and table of contents.
The viva took place in June 2010 and I passed, subject to minor corrections. My examiners were Prof. Steve Hedley (Cork) and Prof. Thomas Gibbons (Manchester). You can read some of the material contained in the thesis in the published and conference papers that I have made available. My doctoral supervisor was Dr. Eoin O’Dell of Trinity College Dublin. I carried out some research for the thesis with support from the Northern Telecom Canadian Studies Scholarship and participated in the OII Summer Doctoral Programme; both proved particularly valuable to my work.
