[Air-L] AoIR 2023 panel on Identities, polarisation and fandom

Sat Feb 25 13:14:20 PST 2023

Hi!

I would also love to get involved and learn more. I am currently working on
a project that addresses these topics, but my ability to get involved may
depend on timing. When would the panel be/when would the paper be due?

Thanks!
Paige
