I am a co-founder and co-director of Virtually Connecting (http://virtuallyconnecting.org). Virtually Connecting is a little open online movement (LOOM) that aspires to facilitate online hallway conversations between academic conference attendees and those who are unable to attend. We practice intentional equitable hospitality.
As part of my work with Virtually Connecting, I have coauthored the following papers, blogposts, and conference presentations:
