>Dear Colleagues,

>I am pleased to announce the "Feminists, Postcolonial Theorists, and
>Queers Doing Internet Research" listserv
>(FemPTheoryQueer at listserv.aoir.org) and the accompanying sign-up site
>(http://listserv.aoir.org/listinfo.cgi/FemPTheoryQueer-aoir.org).
>
>This list is available to all the academics, activists, technologists, and
>other individuals who are interested in considering how feminist,
>postcolonial, and queer issues and methods can assist us in understanding
>the Internet, related cultures, and computer technologies. This list
>developed from a number of exciting "birds of a feather" meetings that
>occurred during the Association of Internet Researchers' conference and
>our commitment to making connections among individuals with shared
>interests.
>
>Some of our current concerns are the politics of Internet research;
>continuing to develop Internet research methods and practices;
>communicating with individuals in related fields; mentoring among women,
>people of color, and queers in the Internet research areas; developing
>bibliographies and syllabi; communicating about teaching issues;
>increasing our visibility in keynotes and other positions of honor; and
>academic hiring and promotion practices. We intend to address the ways
>that our research relates to Internet and new media studies scholarship
>and the significant work in women and gender studies, critical race
>studies, postcolonial theory, gay and lesbian studies, and queer theory.
>
>Please view the following web site for additional information on joining
>the list: http://listserv.aoir.org/listinfo.cgi/FemPTheoryQueer-aoir.org
>
>This list is hosted by the Association of Internet Researchers (AoIR), an
>international academic association dedicated to the advancement of the
>cross-disciplinary field of Internet studies. It is a resource and support
>network promoting critical and scholarly Internet research independent
>from traditional disciplines and existing across academic borders. More
>information about AoIR is available at http://aoir.org
