Graeme Webb is in the PhD program in the School of Communication at Simon Fraser University in Vancouver, Canada. He earned his MA in Political Science at the University of Saskatchewan where he examined the relationship between creative social entrepreneurs, social capital and networked urban governance. From 2007 to 2011 he was actively involved with the Innovation Systems Research Network examining the social dynamics of economic development. He has also been a researcher for the United Nations University Institute on Comparative Regional Integration. His doctoral research combines communication theory and political sociology through an investigation into the relationship between communication technologies and the organizational forms of self-governance that emerge in civil society within cities (i.e. how communities are produced and reproduced through media).
