Our Life Stories Montreal posters are finally up in the metro stations and cars of Montréal! They look especially vibrant in the huge format backlit boxes on the metro platforms (at Berri-UQAM and Lionel-Groux), but I mostly enjoyed sneaking around taking photos of the posters just blending in to everyone’s commute, in the metro cars. It’s been such an incredible pleasure to work with eagle-eye Gracia, and Nick and Eve-Lyne. Really looking forward to the event!

Fembot is a new concept for multimodal publishing on gender, media, and technology. Fembot refers to three overlapping entities: 1. A collective of scholars, organized as an institute, who will share responsibility for the construction and implementation of a Fembot website, which will provide a platform for collaboration, publication, and distribution; decisions regarding its governance structure; and editorial and review responsibilities; 2. A publication that will feature new research on gender, media, and technology twice a year; 3. A yearly symposium (organized face-to-face or virtually, depending on levels of funding) that will allow Fembot members to share new research, to discuss issues related to the institute and the journal, and to brainstorm about innovations, collaborations, and new approaches to Fembot’s mission.

I am currently working on a new mini documentary series of web docs for, Dayna McLeod’s 52 Pick Up Videos, which for me starts in December 2011 and runs until December 2012. The topic has to remain a secret for now because the documentary collects spontaneous, on the spot reactions, to the same question, 52 times. See mini docs, a new one each week: http://52pickupvideos.com/HTML/hogan_y2_grid.html
