Just wanted to put this on people's radar screens here. We soft launched a new Center for Technology, Society & Policy <http://ctsp.berkeley.edu> at UC Berkeley yesterday, with four focus areas: engineering ethics, technology and well-being, standards and governance, and digital citizenship. My co-director Nick Doty and I are trying to do things a little bit differently: prioritizing funding to support promising graduate students and postdocs, tying fellowships to collaborative projects with concrete, time-delimited outcomes, and hosting a "proposalthon" (we'll come up with a better name) to encourage people to meet across disciplines and write proposals together. We'll have a blog, too, and hope to host interesting voices and perspectives. Hope you'll sign up <http://eepurl.com/bs-ILb> for our email list, and encourage others who might be interested to do so as well. Some links to share / tweets to retweet if the mood strikes... http://ctsp.berkeley.edu/ https://twitter.com/BerkeleyISchool/status/621359650143797248 http://news.berkeley.edu/2015/07/15/center-for-technology-society-and-policy... https://www.facebook.com/BerkeleyISchool/posts/10153574492830984 Sincerely, Galen and Nick -- galen@ischool.berkeley.edu / @gpanger
