Spring break was a nice break but I was so lazy! Guilt guilt guilt!
I am hopeless with this. I'm having a lot of trouble coming up with a workable question/set of queries. The general topic i'd like to cover is 3rd wave feminism and the internet. Eg, who does what with what resource, what are the bigger blogs/sites, what's organized online, how has digital communication affected feminist scholarship and activism. My interests do lie more with the scholarly and theoretical, but the activism is pretty exciting - I'd have more of an advantage with the academic in terms of ease and time budgeting.....
BUT - how to link it to this course? Does anyone have a quesiton about this area they would like to have answered, or think someone else might want answered? I can tell you right now that my info gathering will be online, I'll be hitting up academic pages/sites, and well-known feminist blogs (I've started a list in my googlenotes, but I didnt want to put it here till I ironed out a research question)
That's all I have for now, and it's quite embarassing!

I really like the idea you came up with in class! It sounds really fun! Wish I had thought of something like that.
dude it morphed into a history (of sorts) on trolling - as well as an examination of its purposes, it's pros/cons (kudos to dan for that idea)
i'd love to keep the feminist slant, since the latest iteration/wave is so enmeshed with the net - some of the trolling is spectacular on feminist webspaces. and i really wonder if we're rising to the challenge to push discourse further or at least not feed the damn things.
