keeping up with lokman
An update of what I have been doing lately is due, I think.
The Hyperlinked Society, the book that I co-edited with Dr. Joseph Turow is published and for sale. It came out of the similar named conference that we held two years ago. The book looks great, has a great collection of articles written by impressive scholars (self not included), and it’s my first book! Needless to say, I’m pretty proud and thankful for this wonderful opportunity Dr. Turow and the Annenberg School has given me. If you mail me, I might be able to get you a digital copy (although of course, I’d prefer you buy a paper copy) 
Last month, I also presented a paper titled “The Great Firewall as Iron Curtain 2.0″ at the sixth Chinese Internet Research conference held at Hong Kong University. It got quite some attention and was blogged by the Wall Street Journal, by Rebecca MacKinnon, Chez Say, and the Internet & Democracy project at the Berkman Center.
I also attended the Global Voices summit in Budapest, which was simply, one word, awesome. Out of the conversations that followed this summit, I was suggested to start a research hub for scholars who are interested in researching Global Voices. Feel free to join!
Finally, right now, I am busy preparing my dissertation proposal. Wish me luck!
