Hello all. I have to do a presentation of what I have dubbed the satanic milieu online, something I have mainly dealt with offline and on a case-by-case basis. As a historian of religions, I have little practical knowledge about statistical representation software, but I just had the idea of making a simple cluster or cloud representing sites and links and so visualizing relations between sites. This is probably way to simple for avantgarde internet research, but it will actually push the history of religions forward quite a bit when it comes to studying ephemeral networks of alternative religiosity. The end-product should be some kind of cluster map. Any tips for user-friendly programs? All tips will be appreciated, but webbased and/or free downloads will of course be the best. Best, Jesper Petersen, Norwegian University of Science and Technology. -----Original Message----- From: air-l-bounces@listserv.aoir.org [mailto:air-l-bounces@listserv.aoir.org] On Behalf Of Nancy Van House Sent: Monday, November 08, 2010 4:57 PM To: air-l@listserv.aoir.org Subject: [Air-L] query: topics that don't get talked about (enough) inacademia? Spring semester I'm teaching our on-going seminar for doctoral students that addresses various topics related to being a researcher and, to a lesser degree, teaching. My spring theme: topics that don't get talked about, or not enough, or not frankly enough. SUGGESTIONS WANTED! Some examples: -conflicts over co-authorship -- who's included, how names are ordered -conflicts among collaborators/co-authors -dealing with colleagues who are bullies -reviewing, and responding to reviewers -various problems with students, in class and out. The ordinary ones; and the extraordinary (e.g., stalking) **What were YOU not sufficiently prepared to face when you first finished your PhD?** Or, as a PhD student, what would you want such a seminar to cover? -- -- ************************************************************************ **** ******* Nancy Van House Professor, School of Information 102 South Hall #4600 University of California, Berkeley, CA 94720-4600 voice 510.642.0855 fax 510.642.5814 http://www.ischool.berkeley.edu/~vanhouse --------------------------------------------------------------- Office: 307A South Hall ************************************************************************ **** ******* _______________________________________________ The Air-L@listserv.aoir.org mailing list is provided by the Association of Internet Researchers http://aoir.org Subscribe, change options or unsubscribe at: http://listserv.aoir.org/listinfo.cgi/air-l-aoir.org Join the Association of Internet Researchers: http://www.aoir.org/ _______________________________________________ The Air-L@listserv.aoir.org mailing list is provided by the Association of Internet Researchers http://aoir.org Subscribe, change options or unsubscribe at: http://listserv.aoir.org/listinfo.cgi/air-l-aoir.org Join the Association of Internet Researchers: http://www.aoir.org/
