[Air-l] Birds of a Sociological Feather Flock Next Week

[Barry Wellman]

This is a call for all those interested in the sociological side of the
Internet to flock together in Toronto on Friday, October 17, 1130-1230.

We'll roost at the Barrister's Bar of the Hilton Hotel, University Ave &
Queen St. It offers a relaxed lounge environment, good for an informal
meet and great with people who share similar interests.

The occasion is Internet Research 4.0: the annual meeting of the
international and interdisciplinary Association for Internet Researchers.
The conference seems like a great opportunity to meet fellow sociologists
who are Internet minded.

Why at this 1130 time? We don't want to clash with other BOF groups who
are meeting at 0800. Moreover, as sociologists, we will surely be out
doing participant-observation of the Toronto nightlife to the wee hours
beforehand.

So, please come visit with your fellow sociologists. Some of us will
probably continue out for lunch on the funky Queen Street strip. And while
registration is not necessary, just to get an idea of who and how many are
showing up at 1130-1230, please drop Tracy Kennedy an e-line.

Thanks,
 Barry and Tracy
