New Media and Collaborative Learning at Youth Radio: Interview with Elisabeth Soep, Part I.


I’m packing my bags, and this Sunday, I’m getting on a plane to move from San Francisco, CA to Cambridge, MA to get my master’s degree in education at Harvard Graduate School of Education as part of the Technology, Innovation, and Education program. I’m not leaving the New Learning Institute behind, though—I’m taking the NLI along with me. Starting the first week of September, I’ll be blogging about the concepts, people, theories, and policies from my program of study as they apply to New Learning. Get an inside line to how one of the nation’s top education schools explores transforming practice, research, and policy through innovating where and how we teach and learn.
This post is part of a series of interviews highlighting leaders in the field of New Learning (what we call “NLI at Inquiry”). Recently, we interviewed danah boyd—Senior Researcher at Microsoft Research, Visiting Researcher at Harvard University’s Law School, and Adjunct Associate Professor at the University of New South Wales—on subjects including how youth develop online identities, social norms, and privacy issues. Here, in the third and final part of the interview, she discusses how different communities bring different behavioral norms into the online spaces.
