The Networks and Neighborhoods in CyberSpace symposium will convene researchers, designers, community activists, policy makers and others from across the university and beyond for a multidisciplinary discussion and networking around how we perceive and construct networks of people, information and resources to solve complex problems.
The following questions will guide our format of interactive question-driven panels and demonstrations/interest clusters.
* How are new forms of connectivity reshaping relationships among people and organizations and transforming the processes of discovery, learning, and communication?
* What are the cognitive, educational, ethical, commercial, social and political implications of intersecting physical and virtual spaces (e.g., cyberspace communities and physical neighborhoods)? Across languages and cultures?
* How can research relationships in academic settings such as the University of Minnesota be better facilitated and structured by modern technologies?
