Giving Internet and politics writing a space of its own
September 18th, 2009 by GrahamIn recent months, blogging has taken a back seat to other writing in my life: seminar papers, course assignments, and yes, even letters. Sometimes, however, I stopped short of writing because my present blog space at Transpacifica isn’t the right place to put musings on Internet research and information in politics. That brings me here.
Why write here rather than on my own site? It’s about community. The Berkman Center, which provides this forum, is a convivial and diverse collection of scholars, engineers, and activists, many of whom I have had the chance to meet or learn from. Many of them write here, at blogs.law.harvard.edu. I only hope I can contribute something to the lively discourse in progress among this community’s other blogs.
