Questions for Kris Blair and Cheryl Ball...

1.  Without asking too much of your prophetic gifts, do you fear the encroachment of institutions and institutional limitations on a technological space that seems to be, at least for the moment, free and chaotic?  Are the potentials for more democratic participation and ownership of knowledge and subject positions in danger?

2.  How do you feel about MLA 7th edition changes?  Do these changes reflect a legitimate shift in the field in terms of valuing multimodal compositions?

3.  Do multimodal and/or online spaces automatically subvert raced, gendered, and classed identities?  How do you see the spaces as reinforcing cultural norms while they offer so much potential to undermine them?

    These are/were great questions. I wish you could have made it to the speech to hear the speakers. I think you would have enjoyed it.
