I am a Doctoral Candidate at Indiana University, Bloomington IN USA. My primary research interest is adolescents use of online venues, including issues of gender, representation, discourse, narratives, and performance.
My other interests include: Computer-Mediated Communication, Human-Computer Interaction, virtual community, social network development, and Human Subjects Committees/Institutional Review Board policies as they relate to internet research.
