A black bourgeoisie perspective on U.S. politics
Last Wednesday, I spoke on a panel during NYC’s InternetWeek. It was put on by OneWebDay and Susan Crawford. The topic was participation and politics online. It was actually really good! I spoke about the ClintonAttacksObama wiki and the JJP community, and the audience and other speakers brought some really great thoughts and insights to the table.
I shared the stage with Andrew Rasiej (Founder, Personal Democracy Forum) and Jay Rosen (Professor, NYU Department of Journalism and creator of OffTheBus at HuffPo). The moderator was Allison Fine (Author, Momentum: Igniting Social Change in the Connected Age)
