About
As the internet becomes a prominent, if not dominant, object of study in communications, digital humanities, and throughout the social sciences, there is a need for a critical engagement with the emerging vocabulary we use to talk about interactivity. This blog by the UO HASTAC scholars uses media artifacts as the focus for developing and interrogating the terms of online engagement.

The Scholars
Bryce Peake is a 2nd year PhD student in Anthropology at the University of Oregon. He has worked in radio, graphic & web design, museum communications, and photojournalism. His research looks at the racialized gendering of space through sound, and the ways in which listening is an activity that replicates/reproduces/rearticulates lines of force in space.

She studies online culture, specifically transgressive humor within trolling subcultures, and is particularly interested in the constitutive aspects of viral humor. Her favorite TV show is all of them, and favorite book is magazines.
