The five chapters that make up the dissertation were crafted as a journey from the academic to the whimsical, from the lecture hall to the image board [where Internet Memes live and die], from the written word to the remixed image.

The following gallery samples the first and last five pages of each chapter:

• Chapter 0: The Priors
• Chapter 1: The Literature [A visual review]
• Chapter 2: The Research [Phase 1: Researcher as Student]
  • Written as tweets.
• Chapter 3: The Research [Phase 2: Researcher as Facilitator]
