I do not know how many other grad students are on the list. But if getting my PhD within the next year does not disqualify me, I would be honored for the opportunity to serve in an open seat. I have helped network sociologists in cyberspace for nearly a decade, including web site design as well as initiation of the first two Usenet newsgroups about sociology (alt.sci.sociology and sci.sociology). I also have some relevant experience, ranging from departmental committees (such as the Computing Committee) to executive boards (such as the Netspace Foundation, a volunteer nonprofit which provides discounted online services to other nonprofits). I have studied cyberspace for almost as long, including a Master's thesis on social movements and cyberspace, several conference participations, a forthcoming dissertation on social control in cyberspace ("The Moral Order of Cyberspace: Conflict Management and Social Structure Online"), and an article soon to be under review, as well as teaching several courses on the subject. And I have recently broadened my scholarship to consider communications studies, including a book chapter out next spring in a volume edited by two Professors of Communicaton, and an invited participation at the Eastern Communication Society meetings in April.
