Over the past ten years, innovations in web technology have enabled a shift in scholarly publishing. New initiatives bring the editing and review process to the public. Publishers of humanities journals are following the lead of science publishers and make the peer review process more transparent, including innovations such as open peer review and post-publication review.
I would love to have a discussion about the implications of some these new trends in scholarly peer review, and how this relates to social reading of scholarly work.

1) e-enhanced literature (my own fiction on steroids), and
2) virtual-world interactive story settings (same fiction presented via Second Life viewer).
The first requires only a standard Web browser, Web access, and a viewing device (PC, Mac, Android, pad, 3G/4G phone, etc.). The second requires broadband Web access and the Second Life viewer. If a large 1080p HDMI screen is available, I can bring a laptop and connect it into any local Wi-fi to present.
