Hi folks. I am trying to compile a list of graduate programs in the humanities or social sciences with an explicit focus on CMC/new media/Internet studies. Discipline doesn't matter - just want to try and get some data on places that are putting an emphasis on this type of work. Maybe there is something like this out there already I haven't yet stumbled upon... Anyway, if you happen to know of any such programs please drop me a line. I'd be happy to share whatever final list I come up with. Thanks much! TL --------------------------------------------------- T.L.

Subject: CPSR Essay Contest 2001-2002 May 1st Deadline for Spring Submissions http://www.cpsr.org/essays/2002/contest.html Dear Fellow Educator, First, thank you for your continued support of CPSR. Teachers have a major role in the organization. Our mission calls for education of the public and policy makers. You, as a teacher are especially positioned to facilitate this learning process. A tool is CPSR's essay contest, in which students write about issues of interest to CPSR. Winning students will receive $100 prizes and have their work published on the CPSR website, and the author of the best paper will receive $500 and be invited to participate in CPSR's Annual Meeting 2002. Given CPSR's interest in many areas of the role of technology in society, there are several topics to choose from. For first round 2001-2002 winning essays and contest information see http://www.cpsr.org/essays/2002/index.html. We hope you will encourage your students to participate in this contest.
