Netpublics Book

For the past academic year I've been part of the Networked Publics group at the Annenberg Center. After a steady stream of seminars and stellar speakers, we had a conference in the spring. And now we are working on a book project reporting on what we learned from our year together. I've been working with Adrienne, Todd, and Marc on the Culture chapter, which has been posted in the web for comment.

Oh, and I'm also slated to write the book intro.... stay tuned for that (^ ^)/
