I found no item that suited me but discovered, once I was in my "personal website area," that there are several sections where your research interests can be listed in your own words, and slots where you can add teaching materials, CVs, etc as have several faculty members already participating. -- Maria E. Gonzalez gonzalez@ischool.utexas.edu Quoting Peter Timusk <ptimusk@sympatico.ca>: I agree too as popular music and statistics seem to missing as research interests. I have requested by feedback to the site that they open up the research interests to free fields. Code seems to rule this site and it also is not very intuitive design and I wonder how those with no sight can navigate it. Seems another example of poor web design with big ideas.

Interesting. But for a project with global ambitions, it seems a little eschewed towards English language. E.g. in the "research interests" section there are two categories for literature studies: "English literature" and "World literatures"... Neither does it handle non- English characters well.

Hi all,
Im a prize fellow in philosophy at All Souls College Oxford, where I recently finished my D.Phil on the philosophy of perception.
Ive just launched a website, www.academia.edu, which does two things:
- It displays academics around the world in a tree format, according to what university/department they are affiliated with.
- It enables an academic to have an easy-to-maintain academic webpage. My webpage on Academia.edu is here: http://oxford.academia.edu/RichardPrice
My hope for the site is that it will list every academic Faculty members, Post-Docs, and Graduate Students - in the world, and display where they are working. I also hope people will use the site to keep track of what people in their field are working on.
Im trying to spread the word about www.academia.edu, so, if you have a minute, please visit the site, and add yourself to your department. (Or add your department/university to the tree if it is not there already; it is easy to add a university or department by clicking on the arrows).
And do spread the word to your friends and colleagues if you can.
Many thanks,
Richard
