Costelloe-KuehnMemo38

=Memo38: Circulations (amongst informants, other experts, policy makers)= This memo should describe groups of readers your book will address, explaining what you hope will draw them in and how you hope the text will move them.

Articles from my dissertation research will be submitted to major journals in the field of STS (e.g. //Science, Technology and Human Values//, //Social Studies of Science//), cultural anthropology (e.g. //Cultural Anthropology//, //American Anthropologist//), and media studies (//Information, Communication & Society//, //Critical Studies in Media Communication//). I will present preliminary findings at conferences including the Society for the Social Studies of Science (4S), the International Association for Science and Technology Studies (IASTS), and the American Anthropological Association (AAA). The data I collect for this project will also be useful to broader audiences including policy-makers and activists. I will develop innovative ways to display this data by publishing content online on an interactive research wiki page, a blog, video content, etc.

As an intern for //Cultural Anthropology,// I will also put together a free virtual issue with five essays situated at the intersection of the media and environment. Supplemental multi-media pages will be developed for the //Cultural Anthropology// website and the discussion board will be seeded with comments from a developing public advisory board, including some of my key informants for this project. In these ways, my informants will be able to comment on my research as it progresses; these discussions will recursively feed back into my project as further data for analysis.

I would also like to publish preliminary insights in online journals that are more oriented to activists, such as [|Interface]: "a journal for and about social movements" (people might want to check out the editorial from the jan 2009 issue on [|"movement knowledge"]
