This Friday, I’ll be in Detroit, MI speaking at the Wayne State University Virtual Citizenship Symposium. I’m really honored to be part of this symposium; my fellow speakers are Russell Dalton, Wendy Chun and Vernor Vinge. I’ll be talking about collective action and participation in social networks, and I’m trying to figure out how to work some of this new Beacon stuff into my talk. If you’re interested in attending, the symposium is free, and you can find all the necessary information at the symposium’s website.
Via the Complexity and Social Networks Blog, news of a December 7 Conference on Computational Social Science. Speakers include Albert-Laszlo Barabasi, Nosh Contractor, Lada Adamic and a host of other luminaries. This conference is in Cambridge, MA, and is free to attend. The next day, Yale hosts the Symposium on Reputation Economies in Cyberspace. The student fee for this great conference has been dropped to $45, and I highly recommend making the effort to attend. If I wasn’t previously scheduled for travel on these days, I’d be trying to figure out a way to attend both. If you’re in the NY/Boston corridor, this could make for a very nerdy and fun road/train trip.

I will be at the Yale conference (it is free for students @ Yale, which is great–I’m trying to induce a couple of my friends to check it out, too), shame that I won’t get to see you there!
How did your higheredexperts webinar go, by the way?

Amar, I’ll definitely be around Berkman next time I’m up!
Sam, the Webinar went well, I hope ;) Its hard to gauge the audience when you’re talking into a computer monitor. But I think it went well!
