Digital Media & Learning 2010: Participatory Cultures and Vidding

In February, I was part of a panel on Participatory Cultures and Vidding at the Digital Media and Learning (DML) conference. Louisa Stein, who moderated the panel, has just posted the text of our talks, along with a bit of context. If you're interested in seeing how a few fannish academics who care about vids are talking about vids and vidding to an academic audience, I highly recommend reading the post.

Here's the list of panelists and what we talked about:

• Francesca Coppa, from Muhlenberg College, on Musical Literacy in Vidding;


• Louisa Stein, joining the Middlebury College faculty this fall, on Vids as Contemporary Remix Culture;


• Melanie Kohnen, from Georgia Tech, on Media Literacy and Transformative Works;


• Tisha Turk (...that would be me), from the University of Minnesota - Morris, on Vidding and Vid Watching as Multiliteracies;


• Julie Levin Russo, from Stanford University, on Femslash Videos and Queer Literacies;


• Alexis Lothian, from USC, on Vidding as Activist Critique.

Please feel free to comment on Louisa's post—or here, for that matter, though I think it'd be fun to have all the conversation in one place.
