Thanks for proposing this BoF Michele. The "feminists and queers" is an interesting and provocative conjunction. Queer<y>ing Internet Research - the olde english meaning of queer, the verb form would be a very useful discussion. Interesting that it occupies very little <visible> airtime on this list. I suppose, what I am saying is something close to the notion that the centre needs to be disrupted. Count me in.

Dear Colleagues,

I am proposing a "Feminists and Queers Doing Internet Research" birds of a feather meeting. This meeting might address the representation of women, queers, and people of color in new media keynotes and other positions of honor, the politics of Internet research, and increasing our visibility and practices in AoIR and the "field." We could meet Sunday during the scheduled BoF time (1-2:15pm) and then potentially schedule something else. I look forward to hearing other people's thoughts on what needs to be discussed and accomplished.

Looking forward to this! Michele
