How do you conceptualize the history of media? What can media history teach us? What kinds of cultural negotiations are involved in refashioning the past with new media? How does our own technological present affect the ways we define, interpret or even appropriate the past?

Have you had experiences using metaverses like Second Life in the classroom, or for collaborative research projects? What do you think? Are they brilliant, or are they bunk? Come join the our newest HASTAC Scholars Discussion Forum on "Metaverses & Scholarly Collaboration" led by HASTAC Scholar Ana Boa-Ventura!
As with our last forum with Howard Rheingold and Joshua McVeigh-Schultz on "Participatory Learning," we'll be running the discussion both "vertically" in a traditional text-based forum, and "horizontally" in a vlog format using the online video service Seesmic embedded in a widget by Sproutbuilder. Come speak your mind!
