I’ve got two presentations coming up dealing with my new project on death and the digital self. This August I’ll be at the American Sociological Association’s Media Sociology pre-conference presenting a paper called “Death, Digital Selfhood, and the Social Construction of Wisdom in Blogs of the Terminally Ill.”

Oh, I’ll also be moderating a cool panel on disasters and news media later that day. The full pre-conference lineup is here: http://asamediasociology.blogspot.com/2017/06/preliminary-program-schedule.html

The second presentation will be in November at the Annual Meetings of the National Communication Association. The paper is titled “The Future of Dying: Online Suicide Notes and the Posthumous Presentation of Self” and it will be delivered as part of the Communication and the Future Division’s papers. No link yet for that one but I’ll post more info as the day draws nearer.
