thesisthoughts

This morning I started with Jill Walker’s chapter in Uses of blogs. She writes about the differences she experienced blogging about her research and other topics before and after she entered the “ivory tower” (in a permanent position).

There are other chapters in the book on blogging in academic work.

From here I peeked at Walker’s blog and found some relevant publications which are due soon:

Rettberg, Jill Walker. Blogging. Cambridge: Polity Press, forthcoming 2008.

 Rettberg, Scott, and Jill Walker Rettberg. “Narrative and Digital Media”. In Approaches to Teaching Narrative Theory, eds. David Herman, Brian McHale, and James Phelan, MLA (forthcoming, 2008).

Worth reading:

“Blogging Thoughts” by Walker, available online at:
