Hi Jeremy,
Your about the availability of the Maastricht papers is rather disappointing
to those of us who attended & presented at the conference, but (for whatever
reason(s)) aren't AoIR members.
If I understand correctly I don't have access to the papers - something
apparently confirmed by trying to visit the site. This approach is somewhat
unusual. AoIR 3.0 is the first conference I have attended where I have not
had access to the papers either at or after the event. If it is necessary to
restrict access to papers to the members (though, I suspect a bigger service
to members would be to maintain a site where access to their papers were
open to all, but that's another discussion), can I suggest that they are
also distributed on CD-ROM, at least to those conference attendees who are
not AoIR members? It's a rather frustrating conclusion to what was an
enjoyable event.
Steve

Dear Jeremy,
Dear all,
I agree entirely with Steve. I also think making the papers available for
people like me - who are at the very beginning of their research work, - would
be very much useful. I'm not a full AoIR member yet (still need to find out
what it's worth), I'm still looking for subjects, inspirations etc. Perhaps I
could contribute next year in Toronto? Getting the access to this year's
papers would let me find out more about the topics, quality, research methods,
expectations of the audience etc.
Let me know what you think -
Greetings,
Anna

I've been doing some side studies (with Steve Mann and Jason Nolan; and
with Tom Gray, Ramiro Liscano and Anabel Quan-Haase) on just how much
surveillance people will accept. Or to put it in another perspective,
how much privacy they want -- and under what circumstances -- in
public, in organizations they work for, at home, on the Internet
(e.g., cookies) (See the Mann-Nolan-Wellman Sousveillance paper on my
website for some informative experimental "performances" on the subject.)
I would greatly appreciate pointers to any quantitative or qualitative
data on the subject.
For example:
People being observed on video/CCTV in stores and in streets.
Active badges reporting where people are in an organization's building
Group-aware software (such as Babble and IKNOW) that inform about who is
connected with whom, and who is interacting with whom
Buddy lists in IM that are shareable, so I know that Tom is also friends
with Dick and Jane.

air-l listserv. Thanks.
PUBLICATION OPPORTUNITY FOR GRADUATE STUDENTS
Global Media Journal (GMJ), a new online publication, features a section,
Graduate Research Forum, specifically for papers written by graduate
students on global communication related issues. The journal seeks to
open up space for ideas that have taken life in the minds of graduate
students but will probably not see light of the day for many more years in
traditional journals. As these fresh ideas work their way through
dissertation committees and journal review panels, they will get clearly
defined, situated in relevant literature, and acquire a strength and
durability that will withstand both the scrutiny of scholars and the test
of time. But then, they will also loose their playfulness and zing that
captured the imagination of an inexperienced but curious mind in the first
place. GMJs Graduate Research Forum aims to both recognize and nurture
ideas that may shape tomorrows intellectual landscape.
Papers on any issue related to the role of media in the process of
globalization would be appropriate for the Graduate Research Forum. Some
of the possible topics could include: existing media structures and
practices, globalization of TV genres, global media and consumer culture,
the commercialization of news, development of alternative media, and
structure of global Internet. Submissions should be no longer than twenty
double-spaced pages and should conform to the APA style. Send your paper
to Prof. Harmeet Sawhney, who is serving as the guest editor for the
inaugural issue, as an email attachment (MS WORD FILE, RTF FORMAT) at
HSAWHNEY(a)INDIANA.EDU. The guest editor will select the papers with
assistance from GMJs editorial board.
When you visit GMJs web site (http://www.globalmediajournal.com) you will
see that the journal also features an interactive "Open Forum" for posing
questions, making comments, and responding to queries. We anticipate that
conversations generated by papers published in the Graduate Research Forum
will spill over to the Open Forum generating valuable input for further
development of your ideas. The other sections of GMJ include: refereed
papers, book reviews, announcements, conferences, and employment
opportunities. Prof. Yahya R. Kamalipour is the Editor-in-Chief of GMJ.
