[Air-l] conference - the aftermath

[Paul Teusner]

Hey Rivka,

Thanks for the idea and for committing yourself to making it happen.

For me the best day of the conference was the Doctoral Colloquium on the
previous day. It was brilliant to have all students, who are mainly involved
in interdisciplinary research, and thus feelings on the margins of their
respective departments, share their experiences of doing "Internet and"
studies, e.g. Internet and psychology, Internet and education, Internet and
family studies, etc. For many of us we found a centre, while we mostly feel
on the edge in our home universities.

All AoIR Conference attendees

On the way back home from the conference throughout the boring flight  
my mind was ticking over with all the new things I had learned and  
thinking about all the nice new friends I had made.

I thought wouldn't it be great to somehow crystallise the whole  
experience in terms of new knowledge and resources for the  
community.  I thought who will do this? Then I  thought why not me?

My plan is to everyone in our community for some input - a paragraph  
or so of your personal highlights and any links you think are really  
good and then I will summarise it, try to get it into some  
comprehensible whole, then offer it to the AUC (Apple University  
Consortium) magazine "Wheels for the Mind" for publication. This will  
promote the AoIR in Australia, and acknowledge Apple's role in  
providing the computers for the conference. In addition I will need  
some hi res pics if possible. Does anyone have any of these,  
particularly featuring Apple computers?

If there is sufficient response to be worthwhile, I will also post  
the results to a website or we can use some other form of technology  
to disseminate the information.

What do you think?

Rivka
