To secure your place in the program, register now! The Multimedia Bootcamp (http://bootcamp.jomc.unc.edu/) is designed for professional communicators and journalists who seek an immersive workshop experience in documentary video storytelling. The intensive, hands-on training environment introduces participants to project planning strategies, video content gathering, visual composition, audio recording, interviewing techniques for character-driven storytelling and non-linear video editing. The workshop covers all you need to know from the moment you press record through the click to export your final video. Multimedia Bootcamp registration: http://tinyurl.com/k9gz5zu The Interactive Designer Workshop (http://innovativeinteractivity.com/workshops/) is a project-based learning program that teaches both technical skills and how to design for an interactive user experience.

FW: Call for Action: Restore NSF's Social Science Research Funds
by Earl, Jennifer Suzanne - (jenniferearl) 26 Mar '14

26 Mar '14

Please consider taking action—this is a serious issue facing the social sciences. From: ASA Public Affairs [mailto:public.affairs@asanet.org] Sent: Wednesday, March 26, 2014 1:15 PM To: Earl, Jennifer Suzanne - (jenniferearl) Subject: Call for Action: Restore NSF's Social Science Research Funds Members of the American Sociological Association: I am writing to encourage you to write<http://cqrcengage.com/cossa/home> your U.S. Representative immediately and ask them to oppose the FIRST Act (H.R. 4186), which serves as reauthorization legislation for the National Science Foundation (NSF). For the first time ASA is making it very easy for you to do this through a new online system! There are a number of potentially very damaging provisions in this bill for sociologists. Of particular concern to the social and behavioral science community is the proposal to cut NSF’s Social, Behavioral and Economic (SBE) Sciences Directorate by more than $50 million—over 22 percent. The bill also seeks to micromanage the grant application process and limits the number of awards that can be made to principal investigators, undermining the merit review process that successfully determines the very best science worthy of taxpayer support. It would also place a greater burden on NSF regarding its already-gold standard merit review process and require additional, potentially duplicative, public disclosure of research grants. Your input to Congress is needed now. The bill will soon be considered by the full House Science Committee. Join others in our social science community who are taking action by visiting the Consortium of Social Science Associations (COSSA) Action Center<http://cqrcengage.com/cossa/home>. It provides up-to-date information and an easy way to contact your House member now and ask that he or she oppose the FIRST Act. The COSSA Action Center provides ASA members and other COSSA member social scientists a way to understand and act on important federal science policy concerns. We can no longer sit on the sidelines as issues vital to sustaining social science research are being debated. We must become vocal, convincing public officials that social science research is a critical public good. If you have not done so already, I urge you to go to the COSSA Action Center to sign up and take action<http://cqrcengage.com/cossa/home>.

OTI Launches New "Transatlantic Dialogues on Security and Freedom in a Digital Age" Project
by Joly MacFie 26 Mar '14

26 Mar '14

---------- Forwarded message ---------- For Immediate Release Wednesday, March 26, 2014 PRESS RELEASE Open Technology Institute Launches New "Transatlantic Dialogues on Security and Freedom in a Digital Age" Project with Berlin-based Global Public Policy Institute WASHINGTON, DC --Together with the Global Public Policy Institute< http://www.gppi.net/news/news_item/article/gppi-launches-joint-project-on-f…> in Germany, New America's Open Technology Institute has launched a new project called "Transatlantic Dialogues on Security and Freedom in a Digital Age." Over the next two years, the project will bring together experts from the United States and Europe to debate and research the balance between security and freedom. "At a time of significant Transatlantic tension on this topic, it is especially important that we build pathways for reasoned, research-driven international dialogue on controversial issues such as Internet governance, fragmentation, and cybersecurity," said Tim Maurer, research fellow at New America's Open Technology Institute. "We hope that our work in partnership with the Global Public Policy Institute can help provide fresh answers to tough questions about the future, at this critical juncture in the development of the global and open Internet." The project, which will take place over the course of 2014 and 2015, will produce two policy papers, a conference in Washington DC, and regular policy breakfasts and is a unique opportunity to address some difficult challenges at a very critical time in Transatlantic relations. Experts from the Open Technology Institute and GPPi will write the two papers. In the first, the authors will examine proposals by governments on how to re-engineer the Internet to ensure "technological sovereignty" in response to concerns over US surveillance in the context of the Internet's continued expansion. In the second paper, the authors will craft policy recommendations to ensure a free and open Internet in the event of a major cyber incident. In addition, regular articles, op-eds and blog posts will make the key project-findings accessible to a broader audience. "GPPi is very happy to partner with New America's OTI," said Thorsten Benner, co-founder and director of GPPi. "We look forward to informing the policy debates on both sides of the Atlantic and beyond during this critical stage in the development of global internet politics." The project relies on the knowledge of professionals working in various sectors (government, business, civil society and academia) as well as disciplines (politics, law and computer science). A high-level steering committee made up of senior policymakers, academics and private sector representatives from the US and Europe advises the project team. The project is supported by the Delegation of the European Union to the United States. Learn more about the themes and people involved here< http://www.digitaldebates.org/home/>. ### For more information or to schedule an interview, please contact Jenny Mallamo, Media Relations Associate, at mallamo(a)newamerica.org<mailto: Mallamo(a)newamerica.net> or (202) 596-3368.
