I would loosely describe my areas of interest as "social history of media technology" and "alternative media online." In the past I've written papers on topics like pirate radio, hardware hacking, and Weblogs as alternative media. In film classes, I'm sure I annoy students with my comments about how telephones are used for signifying power, etc, so looking at representation of technology in texts is something I'd like to explore further. Of course, I haven't seen the syllabus, but a research paper I would like to write is about the net.art of the late 1990s like Electronic Disturbance Theater or other ways that technology, social movements, and arts worlds intersect like in the Surveillance Camera Players. More generally, I'd say I'm a humanist studying technology, grasping for classes that suit my interests.
