Sorry about that. This semester has been so crazy busy that the blog got pushed to the back for just a bit there.<\/p>\n<p>So what has been stealing all of my time? Well, on top of thesis proposals, chapter edits, preparing to launch the MCAT for the 2009 year, and regular course work, I also will be giving two presentation\/lectures in the next two weeks on issues of anonymity and identity online, and computer mediated communication (CMC).<\/p>\n<p>Given my obsession with practices of anonymity and self-identification via technology and communication, these two lectures are a perfect opportunity to share a bit of that crazy passion around campus.<\/p>\n<p>In Communication Theories and Frameworks, I will be providing a veritable smorgasbord\u00a0 of CMC theories including:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Cues Filtered Out Theory<\/li>\n<li>Social Identification Mode of Deindividuating Effects (SIDE)<\/li>\n<li>Social Information Processing Theory, and<\/li>\n<li>Hyperpersonal Theory<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Of course I am giving the lecture, so there will be plenty of conversation about how anonymity and self-presentation might be understood (or not!) in each of these theories.<\/p>\n<p>In Netspeak, the linguistically oriented CMC course I am taking this semester, I will be leading the class in considering all of the ways that anonymity problematizes our understanding of communication. This is not to suggest there is a deficit, in fact quite the opposite. We will be examining various practices of anonymity and self-identification, and evaluate the utility of the resulting identities across different technologies and user practices.<\/p>\n<p>Hold on to your hats, and I will let you know how it turns out.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>They say the one thing you are never supposed to do on a blog is go &#8220;silent&#8221;.
