A record number of submissions for #AoIR2023, means we really need a record number of #AoIR (Association of Internet Researchers) members to step up so the reviewing load can be fairly shared across our vast array of experts. If you've not indicated your reviewing preferences, or updated your availability, please do!

Step by step instructions for signing up to review, and refining your preferred topics, are here: https://aoir.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/02/AoIR2023_Reviewer_Instructions.pdf

Between a 'What is Web Media?' JamBoard and a Wednesday Dance Scene case study, it must be the first lecture of #WebMedia for the Digital and Social Media major at Curtin, back for 2023!

Game on: great so see so many students back on campus!

Reminder: #AoIR (Association of Internet Researchers) Executive Committee Nominations open 11 March. There was real interest in (re)shaping the organisation at #AoIR2022, which will likely carry to #AoIR2023; the most direct way to shape AoIR is stepping up to a leadership role! Details: http://listserv.aoir.org/pipermail/air-l-aoir.org/2023-February/045365.html

I, as well as the current serving Exec, are all happy to chat about what our experiences of the various roles we currently occupy.

*sigh*

A review no one is interested in at all, but Adelaide are doing one, so what the hell, let's play this game again. (About once a decade there is a proposal for some sort of merger between some combination of WA unis. They don't happen. Endless time and resources are wasted discussing why they won't happen. And that's time that could be spent on, I don't know, teaching or research perhaps.)
