[Air-L] advice on course readings

[Julian Kilker]

In addition to the excellent recommendations by others, may I recommend taking a look at my article that examines the socio-technical construction of early email? It was published by The Charles Babbage Institute’s unfortunately short-lived Iterations journal, and is available here: http://www.cbi.umn.edu/iterations/kilker.pdf.

Many of the article’s findings continue to be relevant for internet and society courses.

Best regards,

—Julian

m teaching a graduate seminar for MS and PhD students called “internet and society” next spring.

I’m looking for good readings (book chapters and/or journal articles) on two subjects:
- history of asynchronous communication platforms (USENET, BBS, blogs, wikis, etc.)
- history of synchronous communication platforms (MUDs, chat environments, etc.)
