master's research:
The Virtual Campfire: An Ethnography of Online Social Networking explores the increasingly blurred boundaries between human and machine, public and private, voyeurism and exhibitionism, the history of media and our digitized future. Woven throughout are the stories and experiences of those who engage with these sites regularly and ritualistically, the generation of "digital natives" whose tales attest to the often strange and uncomfortable ways online social networking sites have come to be embedded in the everyday lives of American youth. undergraduate research: • Online Social Networks as Vehicles for Individual and Collective Remembrance • Being, Knowing, and Being Known on the Facebook • The Trance Dance Experience • Bridging the Virtual and the Real: Identity and Community on the Facebook • Eating Disorder Communities On The Web |
