This is the online hub of my creative and intellectual work. I am an academic at heart and an online search and social media strategist by profession. Prior to my recent foray into the corporate world, I was a graduate student of religion and anthropology at the University of Chicago. My research focused on digital culture and Middle Eastern politics.

Unlike other blogs written by multiple authors, We Are Local’s contributors are documenting how social media impacts their day-to-day lives by documenting in as much detail as possible how they use or do not use social media in their social lives. There are no experts of social media at We Are Local. Our claim is simply this: the best way to make claims about the larger implications of social media and culture is to document and understand the relationship between the two on a micro-level and extrapolate from there.”</i></p> <p><i><br/></i></p>http://cdennaoui.com/post/395455823http://cdennaoui.com/post/395455823Wed, 17 Feb 2010 18:22:00 -0500We Are Local TumblrWe Are LocalChristina Dennaoui<p>My personal tumblelog:</p> <p><a>Imaginary Qualities of Actual Things</a></p> <p>About:<i> “Satirizing the real, one cultural reference at a time.
