About

I’m the Community Media Coordinator for Cambridge Community Television and an Adjunct Lecturer for the Media and Culture Program at Bentley University.

Previously, I worked at the Berkman Center for Internet & Society at Harvard University, where I produced projects for MediaBerkman and the Citizen Media Law Project.

I have presented workshops on media and technology at Harvard Law School, Columbia University, Bentley University, and Apple, Inc., and I was the keynote speaker at the 2006 Alliance for Community Media Northeast Region Conference.

My work in community media, technology, and citizen journalism has been featured by NetSquared, The Media Giraffe Project, Community Media 2.0, and Free Press.

My teaching, research, and scholarly interests focus on community communication. I am interested in the use of information and communication technology within place-based communities for civic engagement and community development.

I am a member of the Alliance for Community Media, Association for Computing Machinery, Association for Education in Journalism and Mass Communication, Cultural Studies Association, and International Association of Media and Communication Research.

This Blog

This blog was created as a space to write about, share ideas, and discuss the ways individuals, groups, and institutions are involved in creating and sharing media in networked environments.

This is my personal blog. The views expressed on this blog are my own. I am not getting paid to write this blog, nor am I speaking on behalf of my employer in any way. Any discussion of things related to my work, or to events I might publicize here, or to themes that also relate to my professional life, is incidental and something I would be doing regardless of my professional circumstances.

My Background

Before becoming a media geek, I used to make records.  To see a list of recordings I’ve engineered, produced and performed on, visit Allmusic and MSN Music.
