Beyond the Blog
When I first encountered the writing of Stephanie Hendrick and Therese Ornberg,
they were both doctoral candidates at Umea University in Sweden. Since
then, they have both gone on to teaching careers, Stephanie at Umea, and Therese at Linkoping.
In her dissertation Beyond the Blog, Stephanie Fayth Hendrick discussed academic blogging as both written scholarship and a communal endeavor. As a means of non-institutionalized knowledge production at the interface of the institutional and the public, scholarly blogging for public intellectuals, she notes, exposes otherwise inaccessible catalogues of ideas and the conversations that construct vital new social knowledge.

In Making Sense Digitally, Therese Ornberg Berglund explores achieving coherence in conversation
via digitally-supported interaction, and examines the communicative
affordances of multimodal discourse, particularly as applies to
self-organizing in social situations experienced in multiple dimensions
simultaneously.
