Hey Everyone, I know this isn't a NYC-only list, but it looks like the nyc list (http://freeculture.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/nyc) doesn't really have too many subscribers yet. In any case, lots of people pass through this town, and some of these events might be worth coming in for ;-)
I wanted to let people know about a new resource that will attempt to track NYC events of relating to Communications studies http://collectivecommunicationscampus.wordpress.com/ I think there is a great deal of overlap between these issues and the freeculture movement and many of these events may be of interest to this list. Also, any attempt to construct bridges between the NYC campuses is very welcome. Additionally, I wanted to make a plug for a new course being offered at NYU by a new professor who some of you may already know: http://steinhardt.nyu.edu/faculty_bios/view/Gabriella_Coleman She is teaching an undergraduate class that is now open to the entire university on the Impacts of Technology. "It is a course on the co-construction of society and the technology and in the course of the course we explore issues of the law, access, embodiment, gender, access etc and we do spend a number of weeks on computers, hackers, games, free software, and wikis." I worked a bit with Biella this past year and she is a very smart and energetic - I would definitely recommend checking her class out. Even if you can't, keep an eye out for her, as I wouldn't be surprised is she showed up at a freeculture event soon. cheers, /Jonah _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list [email protected] http://freeculture.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/discuss
