Diversity, Health Care, and Social Technologies

Jessica Faye Carter — Fri, 20 May 2011 19:12:20 +0000

If you attended my recent presentation on social technologies, diversity and inclusion, and healthcare, you’ll remember that I mentioned I would post links to some of the current relevant research. This isn’t an exhaustive list, but if you’re interested in researching these issues further, it will help you get started:

Pew Internet, Peer-to-Peer Healthcare (Feb. 28, 2011)

Pew Internet, Health Topics (Feb. 1, 2011)

Pew Internet, Mobile Health (Oct. 19, 2010)

The specific citations to these reports are in the slideshow.

Also, the day after my session (of course), Pew Internet released a new report titled “The Social Life of Health Information”. Darn, I wish they’d released this before my presentation!

Twitter has really become a hub for cross-cultural engagement; my latest post on Mashable explores this phenomenon.

A Response to “How Blacks Use Twitter”

Jessica Faye Carter — Fri, 13 Aug 2010 04:24:04 +0000

Farhad Manjoo of Slate recently wrote “How Blacks Use Twitter” (Aug. 10, 2010). I have written an open response to his article.

Women, Linguistic Innovation, and Social Media

Jessica Faye Carter — Mon, 26 Jul 2010 18:19:19 +0000

One of my recent posts, “Why Social Media Means Big Opportunities for Women,” drew a handful of comments which suggested that the reason women use social media is because women are naturally “social” or “chatty.” I don’t believe that these kinds of ideas come close to answering the question of why women are such widespread users of social media.

I explain more about why women do use social media in my new article on Mashable on the subject: “For Women, Social Media is More Than ‘Girl Talk’.” The title (in case you’re wondering) is in response to those who can’t seem to accept that women’s interest in social media goes way beyond socializing.

I do not offer link exchanges on this blog.

Relaunch!

Jessica Faye Carter — Wed, 14 Jul 2010 15:04:41 +0000

It was time.

After close to two years with the same website, I decided to reorganize the site, mostly to highlight more of my “knowledge” work, including writing and presentations. So I relaunched it today. Here’s what’s different:

The Color Scheme. I’ve updated my colors to green, grey, and white. I liked the previous orange color, but prefer green.

Expanded Speaking Page. I’ve updated and expanded my speaking page to include recent events, top reasons to invite me to speak, and a listing of my speaking topics.

Blog! I’ve decided to blog more and share my ideas on the site, so the blog takes a more prominent position on the site.

New Knowledge Section. I am working on adding a new knowledge section that will serve as a map for my thoughts and ideas. It’s still in progress, but should be available soon.

I hope you enjoy the new site; let me know what you think.
