I had the honor of giving a talk on my studies related to racism and Facebook to Dene Grigar's students at Washington State University, Vancouver, recently. They belong to the Digital Technology and Culture program, which sounds like the sort of program I would have loved to enroll in as an undergraduate. In my talk I expanded on some of the topics touched on my two papers, The Missing Box and Social Capital and the Chief.

About the Facebook Project

Originally started as a sociology research project by Jeff Ginger, a graduate student at the University of Illinois, the Facebook Project includes several researchers, students, librarians, and enthusiasts who all have an important interest in common: Facebook.
The endeavor is a collaborative research effort dedicated to documenting, understanding, and utilizing the social networking service Facebook.com.
