I am a Doctoral Student (shortly--May 2009--to be a Doctoral Candidate) at Indiana University, Bloomington IN USA. My primary research interest is adolescents in 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.
