Diana Kimball and Alex Leavitt - Harvard/Boston U. Students and Interns on the Book Born Digital.

Diana Kimball is a student at Harvard and a researcher for the Digital Natives Project at the Berkman Center for Internet and Society. Currently, she writes for the Digital Natives Project at http://blogs.law.harvard.edu/digitalnatives. Previously, she co-founded ROFLCon , a celebration of internet culture. She blogs at www.dianakimball.com and co-hosts an experimental talk show at www.timdiana.com.




Alex Leavitt is a fourth-year undergrad at Boston University, studying English and Japanese. This semester, he joined the Berkman Center for Internet and Society as a researcher and media producer for the Digital Natives Project. Alex also is a member of Students for Free Culture, researches for the YouTomb.mit.edu project, and pursues his own research on contemporary Japanese media and popular culture. He writes at the Department of Alchemy (www.alexleavitt.com) and on Twitter (@alexleavitt).

Students have contributed to the Digital Natives Project at every step along the way. As John Palfrey and Urs Gasser were completing the text of their recently published book, Born Digital : Understanding the First Generation of Digital Natives, student interns edited the text and performed literature reviews to accompany each chapter. Students have produced videos for the project, blogged extensively at the Digital Natives blog , and appeared on-stage with John Palfrey at a Born Digital talk at Google D.C. in October 2008.
