[Air-L] Nominate Yourself for the AoIR Executive Committee!

[Peter Timusk]

Coming from maths and legal studies I feel members of AoIR, who I was reading before discovering the list serve, have been welcoming and mentoring. I don't do Internet Research full time and am more of  a techy who works helping researchers get data on  a variety of topics and Internet use data is only one part of my work. 

So I am not sure what you want Paula is not already in place.

Adrienne,

I think you just fulfilled your first campaign promise: To help grow the AoIR community through more interaction:

 I’d like AoIR to continue its role as welcoming place for new internet scholars. However, I’d like it to grow into a space that also as provides mentorship, community, and networking possibilities for individuals at all stages of their careers. Now that internet research is fully ensconced as a legitimate field, it would be nice to continue broadening our concerns into policy, ethics, and things like open source publishing, etc. I know that AoIR folks have already done a fabulous job of starting this conversation - I’d just like to see us continue them."

I second your nomination!

And I have a question: If you have extensive online research, legal, policy, media and teaching experience (eg. digital media professor, journalist, free speech advocate, Internet researcher), and a graduate degree (JD, law) but aren't yet accepted into a PhD program (though working toward that), do you have a chance of serving AOIR? Or is membership and leadership restricted to PhD students and postdocs? I am relatively new, too, having just met AOIR members in person in Korea.

Thanks,
Paula
