Nathan Fisk Tuesday, April 21, 2009 10:05 AM Proposal Presentation Review Reviewer: Logan Williams 1100 - 1114 1114 - EMPIRICAL Gareth mentioned your work at RIT in introducing you; otherwise I am not sure? CONCEPTUAL Moral panic slide METHODOLOGICAL Went through narrative analysis (fischer), something else (roe), moral panic theory slide was good PRACTICAL ???? OVERVIEW Yes; background slide NEW KNOWLEDGE Yes; research objective slide Moral panic slide HOW Skipped I think for lack of time DATA TYPES Skipped I think for lack of time Skipped I think for lack of time yes; discussed on title slide in discussion of research question brings up contemporary discourse, i.e. stexting Also, 'why now? Why new york?' slide yes; careful with speaking to screen (back & forth varies your voice strength with your audience) What is the practical application of your work? (Kim asked this too) You discussed the correlation to Hackers and how there were criminal and hero hackers previously -- but now the dominant hegemony is one of criminal hackers. How will you explain events like the annual hacker conference where 'good' hackers show off their skills, [] Or the recent advertising of 'good' hackers to work for the government (Homeland Security)? [] How does this discourse of 'good' hackers continue to survive? We talked about this a little after your presentation so I understand better how 'good' hackers is subsumed into the 'hackers are deviant' discourse, but I guess I am curious still about how mini-discourses survive in the face of a moral panic discourse which would seem to overwhelm everything....
