Episode details

Episode description

This talk examines negotiations over group privacy through a qualitative analysis of experiences of hosting strangers via Couchsurfing.org, a social network service focused on hospitality exchange. AltmanΓÇÖs (1975) boundary regulation framework is used as a theoretical starting point to understand how households of more than one person negotiate when and whom to host. Opening the home for couchsurfers requires regulating interactional boundaries both on the Couchsurfing.org site and in domestic spaces. The analysis broadens our understandings of networked privacy.
