The Nonhuman Community and Technology

For an upper level undergraduate anthropology course I'm in, I've decided to do an ethnography documenting the nonhuman community and their use of technology to create and mantain community.

This project is not about nonhuman identity. While the exploration of identity will come into play, I am not here to explain or document us. Instead, I am looking at how different online platforms (IRC, forums, social media, etc.) impact how we form community and how changes in this technology go on to change the community itself.

This research will not be published. It will be presented to my class at the end of the semester and then shared online (likely on this page here) for those in the community to see. This is being done under the guidance of my professor and is being held to ethical standards.
