More about me: Hi. I'm Gus. I got my BA from Hampshire College, my MEd from Teachers College, and I'm heading for a doctorate at TC too.
As of June of 2007 I started using StudyPlace to support an informal experiment in distance education. As of February 2008 I'm back on campus.
Academic interests: My current plan for my dissertation is to study some element of search engine use -- either on users' search strategies, or the power relationships between search engine developers, search engine "optimizers," and search engine end-users.
A couple of us in CCTE have gravitated to StudyPlace to discuss Bruno Latour. He is one of the scholars with the most influence on my thinking; his Actor-Network Theory seems ideally suited to considering technologies and human culture at the same time.
