- Keep recipient of the Woodrow Wilson Scholarship, Notable internet sociologist interviewed by the BBC and CNNfn. Quoted by the Wall Street Journal, Chicago Tribune, Washington Post, BBC News, and Wired Magazine. Mentioned in US Senate during hearings on the PROTECT Act of 2003. Considered one of the prominent experts on "the Internet and its social effects" which I believe (have to check) was the subject of her dissertation for her Princeton Ph.D in Sociology. Currently a professor at Northwestern University and Faculty Fellow of the Institute for Policy Research at that university. ALKIVAR™

- Delete being interviewed or quoted doesn't make one notable, getting a scholarship doesn't make one notable. Being an adjunct professor is not notable. This person is on a tenure-track, and when she gets there maybe that will be notable. Ruby 02:35, 21 January 2006 (UTC)
- Keep - I'd disagree: being interviewed or quoted DOES make one notable. You seem to be suggesting, Ruby, that for academics the ONLY measure of notability is tenure. I'd disagree; it's only one measure. —Matthew Brown (T:C) 03:14, 21 January 2006 (UTC)
