I am so excited for my friend Jon whose book Living on Cybermind is due for release soon. We are planning a joint book launch later in the year. I met Jon through, of course, the email list Cybermind, which is the subject of his book. He talks about issues of identity, gender, community, ethics and truth in online spaces. He and Jerry were both stalwarts of the list who inspired me tremendously in my research into digital culture. Both of our books are in the same New Literacies series, edited by Colin Lankshear, Michele Knobel, Michael Peters and Chris Bigum.

I am a senior lecturer in English and Arts Education. In 2010 I am involved in research about 3D multimedia authoring, literary spaces in virtual worlds, and innovative virtual worlds pedagogy. I am teaching new media literature and literacies, children's literature, drama, and introductory courses in the use of virtual worlds in education. I am also interested in issues of identity, feminist media studies, and multimodal semiotics.Youth Online
