Barring a snow cancellation, I’m slotted to present my research tonight at the Harvard-MIT-Yale Cyberscholar Working Group.
The “Harvard-MIT-Yale Cyberscholar Working Group” is a forum for fellows and affiliates of the Comparative Media Studies Program at MIT, Yale Law School Information Society Project, and the Berkman Center for Internet & Society at Harvard Law School to discuss their ongoing research. Each session is focused on the peer review and discussion of current projects submitted by a presenter. Meeting alternatively at Harvard, MIT, Yale, the working group aims to expand the shared knowledge of young scholars by bringing together these preeminent centers of thought on issues confronting the information age. Discussion sessions are designed to facilitate advancements in the individual research of presenters and in turn encourage exposure among the participants to the multi-disciplinary features of the issues addressed by their own work.
My presentation is loosely called “participatory media for youth and community development” because I’m combining my thesis research with the group documentary project we’ve started for MIT@Lawrence and the data collection I’ve been doing for the spring DUSP practicum class, “11.423 Information, Asset-building, and the Immigrant City.”
