Bio

"Mathieu O’Neil is Associate Professor in Communication at the University of Canberra and Adjunct Research Fellow in the School of Sociology at the Australian National University (ANU). He was part of an ANU team which obtained a grant to establish the Virtual Observatory for the Study of Online Networks, a global leader in the development of e-social science research methods. Mathieu’s research has been published in Social Networks, Information, Communication and Society, Réseaux, and Organization Studies, amongst others. He focuses on the analysis of controversies and work in online environments, examining the articulation of online networks with collective action and information diffusion as well as with organizational and labor issues. Against the prevalent notion that online interactions were inherently democratic, Mathieu’s book Cyberchiefs: Autonomy and Authority in Online Tribes (2009) identified different kinds of authority in peer projects. He founded the Journal of Peer Production in 2010. In 2012 Mathieu and his co-author were awarded the Communication, Information Technologies, and Media Sociology (CITAMS) section of the ASA Paper Award, the sole recipients outside North America. His latest book, Digital Labour and Prosumer Capitalism: The US Matrix, was published in 2015." (https://wiki.p2pfoundation.net/Handbook_of_Peer_Production)
