"Fandom can be a tool for social change by engendering change at multiple levels: the individual, the group/institution, and society. It is also organic, with individual fans creating ideas & content that are rapidly adopted by others."- Eleanor Morison

Thank you to everyone who responded in many ways to help the fandom community.

For those familiar with OTW, AO3, Fanlore, Fanhackers, etc. you can still take part in signing the petition.

Teaching Research Methods Through Popular Culture: Start Thread #POPC1 #AcademicChatter
Hello! My name is Julia Largent and Iā€™m an Asst. Professor of Communication at @Mac_College in McPherson, Kan. (SLAC, about 750 students). This is my third year at MC where I teach the journalism & media sides of communication as well as advise the student media. #POPC1 Image
@Mac_College My research focuses on #fanstudies & documentariesā€”both separately & where they collide. When I started at MC they (excitedly) asked me to create an intro to popular culture course to be offered that spring. I very quickly agreed as I was excited to teach within my field. #POPC1
