Next week I will be presenting at quickanddirty IV, part of a the larger D.C. Queer Studies Symposium. The two-day symposium is on April 17th and 18th at the University of Maryland, and its FREE!

I am presenting craigslist and anonymous online behavior research as part of a session entitled Regulation, Surveillance, and Queer Challenges to the State (obviously composing the ‘regulation’ portion). But don’t come for me – The symposium is bringing in academics including Siobhan Somerville, Roderick Ferguson, and their inevitable groupies.

Ramzi Fawaz and Ben Richfield, two DC-based colleagues of mine, will also be presenting work. Congrats to you both.

The rest of you – go learn something! (Find out more at The D.C. Queer Studies Symposium website.)
