>In September 2000, over 300 people attended the first international 
>Conference of the Association of Internet Researchers (AoIR) at the 
>University of Kansas. This Conference built connections among Internet 
>researchers from across a range disciplines and from around the globe. In 
>October of 2001, INTERNET RESEARCH 2.0 will offer an opportunity to 
>reinforce and extend these connections. IR 2.0 will bring together 
>prominent scholars, researchers, practitioners, and students from many 
>disciplines and fields for a program of keynote addresses, paper 
>presentations, formal discussions, and informal exchanges.
>
>IR 2.0 will be held on the campus of the University of Minnesota, one of 
>the world's most technologically innovative campuses. The conference will 
>provide opportunities to network, learn from other researchers, hear from 
>leading players in Internet development, and take in the sights and sounds 
>of the Twin Cities of Minneapolis and St. Paul.
>
>The Association of Internet Researchers invites paper, presentation, and 
>panel proposals on topics that address social, cultural, political, 
>economic, and aesthetic aspects of the Internet. We welcome submissions 
>from any discipline, as well as work from those producing new media or 
>working in multimedia studies. Panel presentations which establish 
>connections across disciplines, institutions and/or continents are 
>especially encouraged. We also seek presentations which will make creative 
>use of Internet technologies and techniques, including (but not limited 
>to) digital art and e-poster sessions.
>
