Thinkers you should know – danah boyd
by Jim McGee
Here’s a 14 minute video interview with danah boyd, who’s been working on a Ph.D. for the past several years at the Berkeley School of Information. She’s focused on understanding social networks and their interplay with youth culture. The video is an excellent introduction to her work. I’ve found her blog, Apophenia, a source of regular insight into the interplay between people and technology. I characterize her as an enthnographer of digital culture. Although her primary focus has been on youth culture, her insights are worth factoring into your thinking about Enterprise 2.0. If nothing else, she’ll help you understand your future work force.
Discover Magazine video of moi
Last fall, I did an interview for Discover Magazine about my research. I still think that I look strange in video, but I figured others might appreciate it.
