On 25 March, the IRG kicked off the year with Professor Charles Crothers and fellow researcher, Kevin Sherman, who presented "The (Changing) Digital Divide in New Zealand". This discussion was based upon a comparison between the recently released 2009 World Internet Project NZ findings and the 2007 WIPNZ results. Using multivariate analyses, Professor Crothers explored the extent to which the Digitial Divide is interrelated with various other aspects of inequality within New Zealand.
