Deborah Wheeler is a visiting researcher at our university this semester, and tomorrow she’s giving the first of a series of lectures that looks really interesting, on “Identity and Ethics in Global Internet Diffusion”. The series is run as a grad seminar but is also open to anyone who’s interested, and Dr Wheeler has particular expertise in Middle-Eastern studies and gender studies, I believe.
