This week we talk about two articles:
Archive: Aug 2010
Jon, Arturo, and Chris are joined by Jose Marichal (of ThickCulture) and Alexandre Enkerli. A wide-ranging discussion ensues, and we tackle questions such as:
- Why haven’t we had any women on this podcast?
- Is there anything wrong with Berkeley taking DNA samples from incoming undergraduates?
- And when Eric Schmidt makes the distinction between privacy and anonymity, is he making any sense?
We also manage to start a discussion about pornography on the internet and end up talking about the failure of consensus in the Senate. Try to guess how we get from point A to point B on that one.
Various links referenced in the episode:
- Paula Priesse on Facebook (“Conservative comedy spoofing a well-meaning, young, progressive, and utterly hapless American woman”)
- Is Facebook bigger than porn?
- Facebook Privacy Settings: Who Cares?
- WEIRD biased Psychology studies
- Where People Position the Parties
- Class and location-based web services
This episode we talk about ourselves.
First, Jon and Arturo gaze at our podcasting navels. We discuss The Society Pages, our plans for Office Hours, and discuss what we’ve learned about producing podcasts and conducting interviews.
Second, at about 42 minutes in, Jesse and Chris join the mix and we navel-gaze as sociologists and academics about e-books, academic publishing, and the state of sociology.
So go grab a fuzzy navel, and listen to improv #9.
