Young people's networked constructions of nature: Evidence from a qualitative multiple case study in the United Kingdom by Jack Reed, Simon Kennedy Beames, Gale Macleod

“…Given the ubiquitousness of networked spaces in society, it has been argued that day‐to‐day life is increasingly ‘postdigital’, in that we may no longer distinguish meaningful differences between our online and offline worlds. Therefore, it is necessary to examine this collapsing physical‐digital binary in the context of young people's in‐person interactions with nature to examine the effectiveness of this theoretical perspective. …”
