Hi Friends,

 

At the last AoIR Conference, I spoke with some of you about my 
forthcoming dissertation/book,<italic> Camgirls: Gender,
Micro-celebrity and Ethics on the World Wide Web</italic>. The project
is a feminist ethnography of  women who use webcams and journals for
self-expression/ promotion online.  While researching, I also ran a
live webcam  from my home. 


A few days ago, I put the finalized version of my first three chapters
online for my subjects' final okays. I've provided links below for
anyone on AoIR interested in reading. 


Introduction: The ethical challenge of difference in the age of the
global brand
