It’s noContinueContinue reading “When it’s sunny, it’s heaps sunny!”

I just wanted to take a moment to reflect on the selfies workshop that I had the honour to be a part of yesterday at the Social Media & Society 2015 conference. We had a great turn out for a session we called “Selfies: Inter-faces and ‘me’-diated bodies”,ContinueContinue reading “Me, myself, and my selfie: Ways of understanding selfies (SMSociety15 Workshop)”
Strolling, not scrolling: Instagram Walkthrough
My Instagramming usually happens on public transport, after frantically leaving the house with a coffee in hand and a heavy book bag . This means that I tend to Instagram while holding my phone with one hand, scrolling with a free thumb, and constantly scanning my periphery to make sure I don’t miss my stop.

A journal article in pictures…and words, of course.
Just a couple of weeks ago, I had a blast presenting my context collapse research to QUT’s Children and Youth Research Centre at their Keyword Seminar “Connections”.

Academic elevator speech
“elevator” by whatatravisty on Flickr In evangelist circles, they always say you should have your ‘elevator speech’ ready to go. It’s a 30 second spiel designed to change minds and drive your message home in the time it takes to ride an elevator with a stranger. In (social science) academic writing, the abstract is akinContinueContinue reading “Academic elevator speech”

Queer, Feminist and Social Media Praxis workshop: A diversity of perspectives
This past year, I’ve had trouble referring to my program as ‘Internet studies’ even though it provides a quick alternative to the mouthful that is Social Science of the Internet. Sure, we had to learn about Internet architecture, the actual tubes and wires connecting everything, but really we study people, politics, economics, networks, and interactions onContinueContinue reading “Queer, Feminist and Social Media Praxis workshop: A diversity of perspectives”
