Julian Dibbell to Speak in 2009 Steve Jones Internet Research Lecture
Julian Dibbell, author of Play Money: or, How I Quit My Day Job and Made Millions Trading Virtual Loot (Basic, 2006), and My Tiny Life: Crime and Passion in a Virtual World (Henry Holt, 1999), will speak in the Steve Jones Internet Research Lecture Series during the 2009 annual convention of the International Communication Association (ICA), on Friday, May 23, 2009, at 4:30 pm, in Ohio State Room, in Downtown Chicago Marriott. Dibbell’s lecture is entitled, “Kittens, Kittens, and the Crisis of Online-Cultural Propriety: An Exercise in Memetic Literacy. The Steve Jones Internet Research Lecture Series is sponsored by the Carl Couch Center for Social and Internet Research (http://www.cccsir.org ) and supported by the International Communication Association (ICA, http://www.icahdq.org ). The lecture series is designed to bring leading Internet thinkers to the ICA Conference to promote Internet research to foster collaborations with communication researchers. For questions and comments about this event, please contact Shing-Ling Sarina Chen at sarina.chen@uni.edu .
I'd like to remind people of this lecture at the International Communication Association meeting on Friday, May 22 (4:30pm-5:45pm), and say that it might provide an opportunity for a bit of an AoIR meetup of sorts. I'll hope as many AoIRers as possible can make it and I look forward to seeing many of you. I'd also like to say thanks to the Carl Couch Center for its sponsorship and to the International Communication Association for its support. Sj On Apr 20, 2009, at 3:24 PM, Sarina Chen wrote:

Hey Steve, Thanks for posting this - I had refrained from looking at other panels during this time period so as not to be tempted away from the CAT business meeting! Oh well... ;-) The CAT (Communication and Technology) division is having an off-site social Friday night at 6:30 which might be another good place for ICA/ AOIRers to gather. Here is the info: "This will be followed by an off-site social, from 6.30 to 8.30 pm, a Pub Gathering jointly hosted by CAT, Information Systems Division, and Game Studies SIG. The location is Rock Bottom Restaurant & Brewery, One West Grand Avenue, Chicago, IL 60610 [http://www.rockbottom.com/DisplayLocationRBR.php?FKLocationID=10061 ]. Less than 5 minutes' walk from the hotel." Hope to see you all there! Nicole On May 18, 2009, at 11:17 PM, Steve Jones wrote:
