Netroots Nation: Who's Left Out? PDF Print E-mail

ImageI was lucky enough to attend the Netroots Nation conference at the invitation of Campus Progress. The panel title was “Who’s Left Out? Taking a Critical Look at Online Organizing .”  

To be honest, I wasn’t quite sure how my book would be received.   I had a testy email exchange with one prominent blogger about the book, and I have often had audiences get upset when I suggest that there are limits to the online meritocracy.  But it ended up being one of the most interesting and enjoyable panels I’ve been on.

Much of the credit for the way the panel went goes to Erica Williams (also from Campus Progress), who did a great job in directing the discussion.  But I was also blessed with excellent co-panelists: Eszter Hargittai (whose work many of you know), Biko Baker , Xavier Lopez-Ayala , and Jenifer Fernandez Ancona .  Thanks also to Katie Andriulli for organizing the session.
