[Air-L] Short internet ethnography suggestions

[Devin Proctor]

Eleanor,

In the long tradition of shameless self-promotion, I think a piece I
recently published on scientific knowledge construction in Otherkin
facebook groups might work. It's geared toward an STS audience, but comes
out of years of online ethnography. Here's the link:

Hope it helps,
Devin
