Here are some of the resources I’ll be talking about in my presentation on “Sidestepping Copyright Landmines”, October 22 at the ETOM conference held at Mott Community College. If you have additional suggestions for sites, please comment or hit me up on twitter (@firkon)
I'm a historian and writer and have taught at Mott Community College in Flint, Michigan since 2006. At Mott, I cover US, World, East Asian, American Military, and Medieval European history as well as serving as a faculty technology consultant in our Professional Development office.
My first book, Extraterrestrials and the American Zeitgeist: Contact Tales since the 1950s was published in May 2013 by McFarland Books.
I also recently wrote the introduction to Posthuman Blues: Dispatches From a World on the Cusp of Terminal Dissolution, a collection of writings by the late Mac Tonnies edited by Paul Kimball for Redstar Books, as well as a chapter in Gillian I. Leitch's Doctor Who In Time and Space which analyzes fan expectations and reactions to both the 1996 Fox tele-movie and the 2005 revival's premier episode.
Next up is The Chaos Conundrum, a collection of essays published by Redstar Books, coming later this year.
