From smartphone applications that encourage us to check in as citizens of GayCities<\/i> to location-based services that allow us to map where the queers are in our midst, mobile social media increasingly ask us to queer our spaces. But they also compel us to think about who does not fly under the rainbow flag, who may have constrained access to the physical publics that underpin queer cultural scenes and sexual spaces, and the broader politics of visibility and mobility that shape what we may seek through media practices. More broadly, queer studies has a long history of thinking about space, time, and mobility and, as such, offers a corrective to the norms that stake out and reinforce the everyday built environments that queer folks have long found ways to upend and work around.\r\n\r\nWe hope that you will join this invitation-only event to take part in thinking through these and other questions that demonstrate the value of queering mobile social media and technology design.\r\n\r\nConfirmed guests include: Mike Ananny, Margy Avery, Fiona Barnett, danah boyd, Thomas DeFrantz, Mary L. Gray, Dai Kojima, Alex Leavitt, Alice Marwick, Chuck Morris, and Sharif Mowlabocus."},{"id":1,"name":"Workshop Program","content":"
