I'm a soon-to-be PhD who is interested in social informatics and media studies, particularly the areas where the two overlap. I am also very interested in issues such as net neutrality, and how media policy and practice impacts fandom. Most of the posts here will discuss those topics and include relevant news links.
I have set up two networking communities at InsaneJournal. whedonexpats, or the Whedon Embassy, is for all fans of the Whedonverses who want to connect, especially if they have migrated here from LJ. The roadhouse is the counterpart for Supernatural fans. People from those fandoms should feel free to post announcements of their new journals or related communities at those sites. I have also set up mind_over_meta, a multifandom meta community for all analysis, reviews, essays, and other discussions of fandom texts and production.
