Pressing Questions of the Information Age: 17 May 2005
Poster Session
4 pm Communication 202/204
The Simpson Center for the Humanities
Come find out about an opportunity to develop new iterations of a cross-disciplinary graduate student seminar that discusses the impact of information technology on law, on business, on policy, on society broadly conceived.
Learn about a new blog that will help you keep abreast of interesting goings-on at UW in this area, reporting on your work, the work of faculty, and interesting events on campus.
See how the Shidler Center at the Law School is working to make sense of the debate between open source and proprietary software by creating an online resource to explain technical, legal and institutional questions raised by these different models.
Learn from graduate student projects on wikipedia, on technologies for developing nations, on social applications for Bluetooth on cell phones, on how children and teens learn about and use technology, on digital gamers, and many more.
Presenters come from Communication, Cognitive Studies, Computer Science, Law, Business, the Information School and other departments.
Stop by, have a drink, meet fellow scholars interested in the intersection of information technology and society from across campus and celebrate the end of the year. Thanks to all who have contributed to a fun and informative series of events on the pressing questions the evolution of IT raises for society.
If you are a UW graduate student who would like to present your work at the intersection of technology and society to an interdisciplinary audience please contact Caroline Benner .
