Yesterday, I successfully defended my dissertation, “Networked Information Behavior in Life Transition.” Thank you to everyone that came and supported me. The defense was an experience I’ll never forget. I would like to thank my committee:
- Dr. Gary Marchionini, SILS, UNC-Chapel Hill
- Dr. Deborah Barreau, SILS, UNC-Chapel Hill
- Dr. danah boyd, Microsoft Research
- Dr. Sri Kalyanaraman, JOMC, UNC-Chapel Hill
- Paul Jones, JOMC and SILS, UNC-Chapel Hill
It was a great honor to work with my committee, and I appreciate their guidance in my work. There are still a few edits remaining on my dissertation, and I will post it when I submit the final copy to the graduate school. In the meantime, I’ve posted the slides from my talk as a Slideshare.

Congrats for the defence and thanks for sharing the slides. Your work seems impressive. I’m already waiting for you to upload (when possible) the full dissertation.
I’m especially interested in the SEM part, though I will definitely look at the whole thing with care.
All the best,
i.
Congrats. A big load off your shoulders, and on to the next thing, right?
