This year, we’ve decided to provide you with an extra stimulating dose of Summer reading, as we will be putting not less than seven (7) new contributors online in the coming weeks. Today, we’re kicking off with Nancy Baym. As social media specialist and Associate Professor in Communication Studies at the University of Kansas, she’s probably the world’s blogging authority in the area of online fandom. Today – we’re very proud to say – she’s also part of the Futurelab family, so keep an eye out for her thoughts !
