Computing Cultures: Information Technologies and Narratives of Self

The three sites I have chosen to focus on--composition classrooms, a corporate software publisher, and a community network--follow my own scholarly progression.

I argue that we need to challenge traditional narratives of self by encouraging collaborative inquiry aided by technologies.
