Introducing New Core77 Columnist Venessa Miemis!

By Core Jr - July 1, 2010

in Featured Items

We are thrilled to welcome Core77 Columnist Venessa Miemis—futurist, digital ethnographer, and modern day philosopher. Currently pursuing a Masters in Media Studies at the New School in NYC, her graduate work focuses on facilitating trust-building, generative dialogue, and open collaboration in networked environments. Her blog, Emergent by Design, probes the potential impacts of social technologies on human behavior, thought processes, and the evolution of consciousness.

Currently She is building a open source conversation platform called "Junto," which will bring livestreaming video, a public backchannel, and the intentions of progressive minds into a forum together so that plans of action can be formed to drive humanity forward. She will be teaching the Futuristic Institute program at Duke University this summer, and also serves as a Director of the Foresight Education & Research Network. Connect with her on Twitter @venessamiemis.

Welcome Venessa!

Perhaps this might be a strange question, but is your PR release using a photo of her in a bed? I could be mistaken....
