tsenft@gmail.com BioMy name is Terri Senft, and I like the Internet. In January of 2006, I began working as a Senior Lecturer in Media Studies at the University of East London. I couldn't be happier, because now I have a reason to talk about things like Celebrity Big Brother.
In October of 2004 I defended my Ph.D. dissertation at New York University, in the Dept. of Performance Studies. The dissertation, which has been contracted as a book by Peter Lang Publishers (due in 2008) is called Camgirls: Webcams, LiveJournals and the Personal as Political in the Age of the Global Brand. If you are interested in reading a synopsis, it is here. If you are interested in a review copy of the book (especially if you are teaching a course where you think it might come in handy, or if you are a journalist) feel free to drop me a line at tsenft@gmail.com
In Spring and Summer of 2005, I worked as an Visiting Assistant Professor of Communication at the University of the Virgin Islands (US). I worked on the St. Thomas campus, where I was researching the convergence of globalization, postcolonialism, and new media technologies. I've you've ever been to the U.S. Virgin Islands for more than a cruise-ship day, you'll understand why it's a fascinating place to think about these issues.
In addition to fieldwork regarding social software applications, I am drafing an outline for two books: a scholarly one on tele-ethicality, and a popular one on the "long tail" of micro-celebrity. If you don't know what those italicized words mean, it's not you: I made them up.
One useful thing to know about this journal is that it is roughly fifty percent "friends only." With the exception of my students, I tend to be liberal in my LJ friending policy, so feel free to write if you'd like in. Feel free to look over my <a href="http://www.terrisenft.net>homepage</a> if you want to know more. Better yet, write me if you think we've got stuff in common!
