Hi， Ting, Glad to read you article on your bolg. We are schoolmates of East Normal University although I am much older than you. I studied there from 1997 thoough 2000 to pursued my doctor degree. I came to Atlanta in December, 2004 for a short stay of one year as a visiting scholar. you are welcome to Hunan Normal University when you have a trip to your home town.
Hi Dehua, thank you for your kind comments. Your Feb. – 25th comments were spammed by the site but fortunately I just noticed that. I am actually from East China University of Political Science and Law, not East China Normal.
I’d love to visit Hunan Normal University in the near future and also want to read the books listed on your website. Thanks again!
hi, Ting, I do hope to read your book.
I had the honor to edit the book but it is not my book.
Hope to publish my own books some day. 
Ting,
When I have a few more moments, I’m going to have to go through your blog. First, I’m impressed that you are maintaining a blog while you are doing your dissertation. What a great idea! Is this a form of ethnographic memo-ing for you? Second, new literacy/media is a topic of interest to me especially given that many students are situated so firmly within it. (Even I am waiting anxiously for the Ipad to utilize for PDF versions of articles so that I don’t have to carry around my literature or laptop all the time.) Oh the possibilities. Looking forward to reading more. Thanks for sharing.
Hi Keisha, thank you for stopping by here. I look forward to seeing you in the coming mentor sessions.
Greetings! How may I obtain a copy of your AERA paper? I am preparing a report and would like to reference your work.
