Very happy to be a part of the awesome November special edition of Convergence (the International Journal of Research into New Media Technologies). Saw the announcement from Jason_a_w this morning (shame it is behind the the usual academic journal paywall):

” The edition was edited by Chris Chesher (UNSW), Larissa Hjorth (RMIT), Ingrid Richardson (Murdoch) and Jason Wilson (Canberra). Lots of Australian media, communications, cultural studies and new media academics published in here, as well.
