Greetings, fellow Internet reseachers. I've been lurking here on the
list for a while, and I thought some of you might be interested in the
conference in described below. I hope to present a paper there about
some aspect of my own research on misbehavior in virtual communities,
and would be interested in hearing by private email from any of you who
might like to propose an all-Internet panel with me for this event. The
MEA's website, BTW, is <http://www.media-ecology.org>

Call for Papers
First Media Ecology Association Convention
June 16-18, 2000 at Fordham University's Lincoln Center Campus in
Manhattan
What little technologies changed the course of history? What in the
thinking of McLuhan, Mumford, Innis, Ong, Fuller, Ellul, Wiener, et al
can help us make sense of today and tomorrow's worlds? Who is doing
comparable thinking today? Does it make a difference if those thoughts
are spoken at conferences, published in journals, available on web pages
or listservs like this? To what degree are our media out of our
control? Will MP3 recordings obsolesce the music business? Is DNA a
digital medium?
Send a 100-word abstract that delves into the above or any related
topic to Paul Levinson at PaulLevinson@compuserve.com by April 1.
Be prepared to jump into the fray with a 15-25 page paper on the subject
by June 1. Let us know if you'd like to be a discussant for papers by
other participants.
Proposals for panels, roundtables, workshops, or other kinds of special
sessions are also welcome.
Join us we look around and take stock of ourselves, our media, and our
discipline at the dawn of the new millennium (or the year before,
depending upon your mathematical metaphysics).
The Media Ecology Association was founded in 1998, as a way to organize,
formalize, preserve, disseminate, and expand the study of how
communications, media, and technology make a difference in our lives,
our history, and our future. This will be our inaugural convention.
Inquiries and submissions are preferred via e-mail to
PaulLevinson@compuserve.com -- but can also be
directed as follows:
Professor Paul Levinson, Convention Coordinator
Department of Communication and Media Studies
Fordham University
Bronx, New York 10458

Greetings,
_Worlds in Transitions_
The greatest challenge to studies of science, technology and society at
the end of the second millennium is to understand how science and
technology are implicated in the processes of change and transformation
that are massively reshaping our world of society in the New Millennium.
