Social Informatics and Current Events

I find this post, (http://socialinformaticsblog.com/2012/05/15/ontology-of-students-in-interdisciplinary-programs/) very similar to this article that I've read before describing what a User Experience Design (UXD) is, (http://uxmag.com/articles/hi-im-a-ux-developer-youre-a-what). Being a graduate student studying UXD, I find it difficult sometimes to explain to people what my field entails just like how a Social Informatics student would feel. It's very unfortunate how some interdisciplinary studies just don't get the same acknowledgement as with other disciplines!

This blog was created by Indiana University students and faculty who were interested in Social Informatics. On top of providing information on current events, conferences, and a pretty good bibliography, they also write their own entries about related topics in social informatics. Some of the posts seem more geared toward moderate to experts in social informatics, but there are a lot of great posts incorporating theory, literature in the field, personal opinion, and current events.
