I have put together a research blog (Virality) "intended to support
discussion and debate on contagion theory and related topics."
I welcome contributions relating to any of the below subjects or related
suggestions, including short pieces ideal for blog posts, links to other
material or events. These do not necessarily need to be formal academic
submissions, but the occasional reference and adherence to the odd convention
would be nice ;-) The blog is open to academics, independent
scholars/thinkers, artists and postgraduate students alike.
Ideally I'd like it to be a space for all things contagious!
Please feel free to email me with contributions and suggestions:
