<div style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 16px;">Dear colleagues,</span></div>
<div><font face="Calibri,sans-serif"><span style="font-size: 16px;">My campus is hosting Wendy Hui Kyong Chun this week and I am finally reading her 2016 book,
</span><i style="font-size: 16px;">Updating to Remain the Same: Habitual New Media</i><span style="font-size: 16px;">. In chapter 4 (p. 158) she asks, “how might we occupy networks differently? How can we understand publicity not in terms of a need for safety
and protection, which is neither safe nor protecting, but rather the fight for a space in which one can be vulnerable and not attacked?” These challenging questions prompted me to share the following resources, which may contribute to shaping networks “that
develop new habits of connecting” (Chun, p. 160). Perhaps some of you know about past practices that would be useful to revive.</span></font></div>

<div><font face="Calibri,sans-serif"><span style="font-size: 16px;">Even if you think what you do is not especially “risky,” it is a good idea to prepare yourself so that you are not so susceptible to e-attacks.</span></font></div>
<div><font face="Calibri,sans-serif"><span style="font-size: 16px;">Last year, Alice Marwick, Lindsay Blackwell and Katherine Lo published “Best Practices for Conducting Risky Research and Protecting Yourself from Online Harassment,” for Data & Society. Their
report can be downloaded here: </span></font><a href="https://datasociety.net/output/best-practices-for-conducting-risky-research/?fref=gc&dti=386756794728866" style="font-size: 16px;">https://datasociety.net/output/best-practices-for-conducting-risky-research/?fref=gc&dti=386756794728866</a><span style="font-size: 16px;"> There’s
also a 2-page pdf linked there that can be shared with administrators. </span></div>
