Why this site?

This site connects my academic, political, and personal worlds. I offer more argument than data. Please email your comments and questions.



For now, the Internet lets us bypass mainstream gatekeepers to communicate critical views and organize politically. It expands our interactions beyond the few who read academic or political journals. And it allows us to distribute information quickly.

However: the Internet also provides more power to those who already have too much. This is true of most technology, even forms that seem useful for radical and progressive purposes. It's hard to know, in the long run, whether the advantages outweigh the disadvantages. Already we've seen governments around the world try to shut down the Internet to disrupt activist organizing.
