We are announcing the second round of the Queer Internet Studies Symposium, which I am co-organizing with Jessa Lingel. It's a one-day event scheduled for February 17th at UPenn. Read more about QIS2 here: http://jgieseking.org/qis2/. The goal of the day’s conversation is to broaden our thinking about the internet: to think about intersections of technology and media, sexuality and queering, gender and feminism. The final schedule is still being determined, but we're hoping to have a mix of sharing research, making art and developing an interdisciplinary conversation of what Queer Internet Studies might mean for research, policy and activist agendas. Presenters and panelists include TL Cowan, Oliver Haimson, Adrienne Shaw, Carmen Rios, Mia Fischer, Mitali Thakor, Shaka McGlotten, and Katherine Sender, and all in attendance will be asked to take part in workshops and dialogues throughout the day. QIS2 will be held at the Institute for Contemporary Art on Penn’s campus. As mentioned above, attendance is small to mid-sized, around 50-60 people, coming from a range of fields and disciplines. If you have questions or need more info, don't hesitate to let one of us know. Registration is very much free and can be done via this Google form. <https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLScsc56bcoB8W1ipj-1Tri9ksWQiGPRrtf68HY8UvoeUxyU5eQ/viewform?usp=send_form> We hope you can attend!
