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

Sun Feb 26 17:34:27 PST 2023

Hi Paige!

Thank you for your interest!
Unfortunately we had a really short turn-around with the deadline only a few days away, and we also had far more interest than anticipated, so we have selected a few more 'ready to go' papers, that also fit the theme. We hope to hear more from you another time - we're already thinking on doing another panel next year, based on the interest in this one.

All the best,
Sam and Sebastian
