While the vibrance, innovation, and cacophony of online life can
feel completely unlike anything humanity has ever created before,
its newness isn’t wholly unprecedented. Humans reckoned with many
similar challenges to life as they knew it while navigating a
different kind of social web: the city. In this
episode, Danah Boyd, a partner researcher at Microsoft Research and
Distinguished Visiting Professor at Georgetown University, explains
how the sociological work conducted during a time of rapid
urbanization in the United States reveals a lot about human
behavior and what we need to feel safe, secure, and inspired. Music
