[Air-L] Academic work on the website 4chan?

[matt.lists at gmail.com]

Hi Iain,

You should definitely take a look at Gabriella Coleman's work (
http://steinhardt.nyu.edu/faculty_bios/view/Gabriella_Coleman) on Anonymous
and get in touch with her for more information. She would be a great contact
for you.

Best,

Matt
