Writing with friends — Participatory Culture in a Networked Era
Emerging from my turkey coma, I am writing with much gratitude for my two dear friends and colleagues Henry Jenkins and danah boyd. I am a bit late to the party in announcing that the book we wrote together is now available in electronic and hard/softcopy.
As danah has already noted, this book was instigated by Henry, who approached us about writing a book together for Polity. We agreed that we’d only do it if would become an occasion to have fun and learn from each other. It would be an excuse for a conversation, for danah to fly out to SoCal on occasion, and for us to sit on my couch or in the sun out back and catch up on what we thought was most fascinating or frightful about today’s networked world.

The Rumpus: It Starts Again
I just finished course design for the fall 2015 semester. If you were to shine a flashlight into this world every August, you would find me on a couch in the living room, hair disheveled, clothes unchanged for days, various food products tossed to the floor, and surrounded by books …
A story of connection
A friend of mine asked for some stories of connection for an upcoming conference presentation he is giving… and here’s mine. (Alan, you’re in it!) It is yet another little glimpse into the #Musiqualiy story, and the stories keep folding and unfolding. Intricate as fractals.

Universities Are No More Illusory Than Journalists: Rsp to Kevin Carey and NYT
Yesterday Kevin Carey wrote an opinion piece for the New York Times in which he argued that the basketball scandal at the University of North Carolina could happen because, basically, universities are "illusions." There is no real oversight of wh...
Teaching While Underimpaired
“People who do not have cognitive disabilities think they know what it means to have limitations but they do not.”
— Eve Kosofsky Sedgwick
Quoted by Cathy N. Davidson in “Handicapped by Being Underimpaired”
I clearly remember a 24 hour period during which I suffered cognitive disabilities; a period during which I was not sure if my cognitive abilities would return.
Who Passes the Baton? Who Holds on For Dear Life? Legacies of Racism, Revisionism, and History
What a swirling week for literary giants it has been! How fascinating to see the graciousness or the stinginess with which the great and glorious accept or reject the new. I refer to the range of reactions around the publication of Ta-Nehis...
The Humanities As Survival Skill
A few months ago, I had to move a bookcase from my apartment to my office. It is only about a twenty minute walk but it is hard enough to walk, let alone move a bulky object down Fifth Avenue, through the tourists. The door to my office building ...
Learning about Publications on *Unflattening* Portal
I have previously written about how we are developing an Unflattening Portal on Scholarly Voices. The portal is designed to support individuals teaching or reading Dr. Nick Sousanis’ Unflattening (Harvard University Press, 2015).
Big Ideas About Changing Higher Education and Graduate Training
Here are a few "big think" points that add up to the problems of the modern university that we need to address in immediate ways (in our pedagogy, in our classrooms, in ways we can change tomorrow) and in huge ways (in our institutional structures, the...
