Weekend Picks: Nathan Jurgenson
Meet IAM Weekend 17 speaker nathanjurgenson! A social media theorist, Nathan’s work stretches far and wide: he’s a researcher at Snapchat, Editor-in-Chief of Real Life Magazine, Co-Founder & Co-Chair of the Theorizing the Web conference and Contributing editor at The New Inquiry.
We’re fascinated to hear from Nathan given this wealth of experience, and have no doubt his insights will illuminate our exploration of The Renaissance of Utopias at IAM Weekend 17!
Welcome to the IAM Family nathanjurgenson, and read on for his Weekend Picks! 😃 (Read more of our IAM Weekend 17 speakers’ Weekend Picks here!)
