You’ve Been Wondering

I know a lot of people are wondering what I’m actually doing here. It’s obvious that I’m going to grad school, but what I’m studying still remains a mystery. Get ready because it’s about to be a mystery no more…

I’m doing an MA in Conflict Analysis and Resolution. It’s kind of awesome and I kind of love it.

One of the coolest opportunities I’ve had is to bring together some truly brilliant people actually borderline genius people, and create a panel proposal for the epic SXSW interactive conference. This conference is like the mecca of nerd and technology and I think it’s our personal mission to go and throw sparkles and glitter all over the place.

We need your help to get there – we need your vote. We’ve named the panel: Are You There Social Media? It’s Me Conflict. Like I said, we’re geniuses.

We’re going to combine the brains of diverse individuals to look at the role of social media in conflict. In looking at social media’s effect on a world in conflict, we see what it means to pair embargoes and blogs, corruption and SIM cards, and the importance of knowing how conflict-related trending topics are replaced by Michael Jackson and Lindsay Lohan.

We really want you to think a little more closely about your phone and the power of it’s apps. And more importantly, we really want your vote. Actually, I’m begging for your vote.

PLEASE VOTE FOR US, because we’re a special kind of awesome.

Here’s the link, register and vote. It matters. And maybe one day, when we’re all famous, we will remember you voted for us. Probably not, but it’s worth thinking it might happen.
