Dr. Foulger develops
and studies computer-mediated human
communication systems. He currently teaches on a adjunct basis at Brooklyn
College and is the principal of Evolutionary
Media, a consultancy focused on helping organizations create effective media
use profiles for their various stakeholders. He is a past co-chair
of the Human Communication Technology
Division of the National Communication
Association, the current chair of the Communication and Technology Interest Group in ECA , and recipient of the best paper award at the 2006 meeting of
the Media Ecology Association. His research
program focuses on the invention and evolution of communications media (including
computer-mediated communication systems) and the effects of our media choices
on relationships, organizations, and communities. The primary focus of that research program, at present, is completion of the book Characteristics of Media: the message beneath. Most of his recent papers
are related to that effort and are available online. Other books are planned. He enjoys reading, bicycling,
building web sites, writing, and music (both singing
tenor and playing the viola).

- 13 July 2009
- I start teaching a new section of Media Criticism at Brooklyn College today. I am really looking forward to a great summer semester.

- Today is a pretty big day for me. After nearly a year and a half of dislocation, all the big pieces of my office are in place and I can really work again. There are lots of little things left to do, and a lot of my time is dedicated to providing post-surgical care to my partner, Joan, but I'm looking forward to doing a lot of good work here.

- I'm presently in St. Louis for the annual conference of the Media Ecology Association. I give a competitively selected presentation in the morning on nonverbal communication in online media. I hope to post it online soon. I drove out from New York on Tuesday and spent Wednesday visiting ancient native American constructions in West Virginia and Ohio (Adema and Hopewell cultures). For me, at any rate, fascinating stuff. These are places I've been planning to visit for years. It was nice being able to fit it in. I return to New York Sunday (expect to arrive Monday). Joan has her next cancer surgery on Tuesday, June 23.
