I&#8217;ve decided to pursue the PhD and working on the proposal is both exciting and frustrating.  I&#8217;m working with vague ideas about women, violence, and the internet but since we know that this is a <strong>huge<\/strong> issue it&#8217;s taking a long time to get a focus and research question.  <\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m kicking around ideas about why gendered violence occurs online, cultures of resistance against the harassment, why certain individuals become targets\/victims and their agency, Lessig&#8217;s four pillars of internet governance (norms, laws, architecture, market), the role of the internet in constructing women&#8217;s bodies, identities, consciousness (this taken from Romano&#8217;s piece below), and of course what to do about it all, but first understanding it from a philosophical perspective.  <\/p>\n<p>Maybe I&#8217;ll come back and link these up later but if you&#8217;re curious about any of them I advise select text > right click (control+click on mac) > search in google.  <\/p>\n<p>On my desk with highlighter poised I&#8217;ve got:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Alison Adam: Cyberstalking and Internet pornography: Gender and the Gaze <\/li>\n<li>Adam: Gender and Computer Ethics<\/li>\n<li>Chat Garcia Romano: Beyond Tools: Technology as a feminist agenda<\/li>\n<li>Leslie Regan Shade and Barbara Crow: Canadian Feminist Perspectives on Digital Technology<\/li>\n<li>Barbara Crow and Graham Longford: Digital Restructuring: Gender, Class and Citizenship in the Information Society in Canada<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>I see history, philosophy, and com studies in this.<\/p>\n<p>Also in the mix is Donna Haraway&#8217;s <em> Simians, Cyborgs, and Women<\/em> because you can&#8217;t talk about women and technology without the Cyborg Manifesto.  How I missed the Cyborg Manifesto.

Even though I&#8217;m not done I have to leave for food and rest.  I&#8217;ll be back early or work late at home or something because I need a draft for my letter writers in the morning.  <\/p>\n<p>If anyone has any great ideas let me know.
