Response to Annette Markham

As Annette Markham argues in her chapter, ‘we all exist in places that shape our perspectives on the world’. In particular, the modes of our situatedness that are relevant to our work as researchers include (at least) our disciplinarities and place-specificities. In this response I would like to focus more closely on important issues from my own situated perspective as a technology researcher based in Australia: • The location you do research from is as important to any consideration of the local and the global as the location you do research in.
