A Ph.D candidate at U.C. Irvine, Jed Brubaker's research deals with the topic of death on social networking sites (which, admittedly, is something I've never considered before!). When an individual passes, his or her friends, family, and admirers can gather in a digital community to share memories and grieve together. Brubaker studies the language and rhetoric of posts on the social networking pages of the deceased and analyzes how these posts create a living memory in a digital space.
