That sounds like a promising idea, Nicole -- interestingly along those lines, in the past few months I've been asked about Internet Studies programmes by other students and colleagues looking to do graduate or postgraduate work in assorted Internet Studies/new media areas. At the very least, perhaps we could get a few sessions recorded that we in AOIR could use as 'recruiting material' for our discipline? ;) -rick On Jun 27, 2010, at 22:25 PM, Nicole Ellison wrote:
Hil all, I'm wondering whether there's enough interest to put together an informal new media studies grad school fair for prospective students at the AOIR conference? The timing in early fall is perfect for applicants, and I imagine there are a few attendees who might welcome the chance to talk with folks from various programs. If there is a need for this, I would be happy to try to put something together for AOIR in Seattle (I won't be in Sweden).
I'll join in the program pluggers here and note that our joint MIS PhD program at MSU is worth looking at - it's an interdisciplinary program with faculty from communication, economics/policy, information studies, business, education, etc., many of whom are passionate about AOIR-friendly research topics. http://tism.msu.edu/modules.php?name=Pages&sp_id=731&pmenu_id=85
Thanks, Nicole
PS Have the dates for Seattle been finalized yet? I have not been able to find anything online, and want to make sure I don't miss two in a row! _______________________________________________ The Air-L@listserv.aoir.org mailing list is provided by the Association of Internet Researchers http://aoir.org Subscribe, change options or unsubscribe at: http://listserv.aoir.org/listinfo.cgi/air-l-aoir.org
