She has recently completed her master’s thesis on social networking and blogging and is eagerly looking forward to beginning a PhD dealing with discourse features common to blogging (keeping fingers crossed that topic is accepted :-). Stephanie is a native of the USA, but has moved around enough to now call Umeå home, as three years is the longest time she has lived in one place. She is passionate about blogging, examining patterns of social networking, or basically asking “why”. When Stephanie is not busy being mother to her incomparable three-year-old twins, she is blogging, working, or reading.
