Hi! I'm trying to get some university funds to pay for my trip from Australia to Internet Research 3.0 in Maastrict, Holland. They have funds available for research, not for travel! So I am appealing to all of you for help. I am looking for 4-5 willing subjects for one-hour taped interviews re: disciplinarity of programs in Internet Studies. I realize that this is a lot to ask in the middle of a busy conference. Below is my "bio" so you know who you're talking to: Denise Rall has a MA in Comparative Literature from the University of Wisconsin-Madison, where she applied methods from Levi-Strauss's structural anthropology to the romantic German novel of character development (bildungsroman). Thereafter she began a career as an application specialist for academic computing centers at the UW-Madison, Purdue University, and Northern Arizona University. In 1994-5 she studied theories of human information processing at Purdue, and consolidated her reading in human-computer interaction. In 1997, she found herself studying organizational bureaucracies in the developing world through the analysis of computerizaton in a forestry research institute in Ghana, West Africa. After a brief stay on the island of Amercian Samoa, Rall migrated to Australia in 1999. At Southern Cross University in Lismore, NSW, she has worked in computer support, online courseware development and as a casual academic before starting a Ph.D. in the School of Education to explore disciplinarity in Internet Studies. Her most current paper: "Testing hypothesis-testing: Taking Sir Karl Popper's erroneous trial for a spin on the WWW" critiques the scientific method as a way to test information for validity that is aquired through web search engines. Thanks! Just reply if you're willing to be interviewed about what you think Internet Studies should be.
