of course people are already working in troubled areas
my feeling is that we're swamped; ISIS wll pay no attention to us.
and as I mentioned before, recent research (AAAS Science I think a couple
of weeks ago) indicated that climate change and the current drought in
Syria (and elsewhere) has spurred ISIS and a number of other groups;
people are starving. so we're working within something global, deadly, and
violent. the only thing I do is, when I'm doing a presentation, I bring
all of this in. and for those who are interested, there are the archives
Sandy Baldwin and I did during our moderating empyre a few years ago, on
death, pain, and suffering (forget the exact title) in the real and
virtual, and more recently, that stint Johannes and I did in November on
ISIS, Absolute Terror, Performance. I see this moderations as political
interventions; so many people chimed in who are working in online and
offline networks already, hardly alarmist (are you alarmist if you've been
tortured?), there's lots of information there.
