I’m presenting my book Blogging at our university bookshop, Studia, today at 2:15 pm. If you’re in town you’re very welcome to come! I’m going to talk for 25 minutes and Studia’s serving snacks of some kind, so I think it’ll be good. (I always appreciate snacks.) Oh, it’ll be in Norwegian.
I'm Jill Walker Rettberg, an associate professor at the University of Bergen, and I do research on how people tell stories online. I'm affiliated with the Department of Linguistic, Literary and Aesthetic Studies. I've been a research blogger since October 2000.
I'm usually best contacted by email.

Good presentation, it could have been longer though. It’s a far too interesting topic to be short about it. I guess I have to read your book, now ;-)

[…] Yesterday, after the book presentation, I met two of these studetns. Kristine Ludvigsen is studying pedagogy and finishing her Master’s degree on learning in Second Life. She had lots of questions about how to think about ethics in an online environment - she had permission from all her informants, but as the interviews had taken place in Second Life, sometimes other people had turned up in the middle of an interview - or someone simply walked past in the background. Her final paper is going to be a video paper, so she was wondering whether she could use material in the video paper despite there being someone in the background of the image who had’t formally given permission? I think it depends on the situation - but it does show the trickiness of online work. Kristine has already looked at the AoIR’s ethics guidelines: I think she’d find Charles Ess’s new book Digital Media Ethics useful - I only just saw it this morning and will certainly buy a copy. Charles Ess has worked on ethics on the internet for years. […]

[…] Tidligere i vÃ¥r presenterte Jill sin siste bok, “Blogging” pÃ¥ studia. EtterpÃ¥ ble Eva og jeg sittende Ã¥ prate med Jill og Kristine som diskuterte hvordan det var Ã¥ sitte alene pÃ¥ sitt institutt med sine studier pÃ¥ sosiale medier. Dette kunne jeg nikke gjenkjennende til, og fortalte Jill at jeg nok burde ha kontaktet henne i løpet av skriveprosessen min, men at jeg oppdaget henne, og skjønte det litt for sent. Paradoksalt nok satt jeg mye alene og skrev om sosiale medier store deler av 2008. Jeg fulgte en forskningsgruppe ved mitt eget institutt, men savnet noen utveksle ideer med noen som delte mitt engasjement for nye medier. Jill var rask med iverksettelse av ideen, blogget om den allerede dagen etter. Etter en mÃ¥neds tid var første møte pÃ¥ plass. […]
