<big>'''Free Culture Research Workshop'''</big>

'''Harvard Law School'''
'''October 23, 2009'''

Sponsored by: Berkman, NEXA, iCommons

The Free Culture 2009 research workshop builds on the enthusiasm generated by the First Interdisciplinary Research Workshop on Free Culture which took place during the 2008 iSummit in Sapporo, Japan. It presents a unique opportunity for scholars whose work contributes to the promotion, study or criticism of an emerging Free Culture, to engage with a multidisciplinary group of academic peers and practitioners, identify the most important research opportunities and challenges, and attempt to chart the future of Free Culture.

Our aim is to provide an opportunity for scholars and practitioners to discuss their findings, experiences, and vision for a Free Culture with peers whose backgrounds extend beyond individual disciplines, because we believe that the wider participation in the creative process (and consequently in the formation and dissemination of our modern culture) enabled by new Internet technologies, innovative legal solutions and new business models, are far-reaching and therefore deserve to be examined through the lens of multidisciplinary inquiry. More specifically, this year's workshop will be focused on:

(a) participant interaction and joint reflection on key findings from cutting edge research in the field
(b) the development of a research agenda, with the identification of key topics for future research
(c) facilitating research collaborations and exchange of ideas between different academic institutions engaged in Free Culture research
(d) fostering useful academic outputs over the next 12+ months
(e) considering policy recommendations or a policy orientation that may emerge as a result of Free Culture research and scholarship

Program design and participant selection will be guided by these objectives, as set by the organizing committee in consultation with the host institution.

== Agenda ==

The event will consist mainly of sessions oriented towards discussion and idea generation. The organizing committee will therefore strive to convene those parties that will be most helpful in engendering dialogue and providing perspectives on the future of free culture research. To that end we will do our utmost to convene academics and others who have already made an impact with their works and actions in shaping the landscape of free culture. An open call for short essays (similar in length to an extended abstract, for details see below) will complement this effort and provide opportunities for wider participation and discussion. Submitted essays will be reviewed by the program committee and the authors of accepted submissions will be invited to attend the event. We will only be able to accept a small number of participants through the open call given the small size of the event, and we seek your understanding in this respect. Every accepted essay will be disseminated before, during and after the workshop and will provide useful inputs for the structuring of the discussions and working sessions to take place during the event. However, we wish to emphasize that the focus this year will be on participant interaction and idea generation rather than on traditional podium presentation. Being invited to the workshop is therefore also not a guarantee that you will be able to present your own work, but rather an invitation to contribute your expertise and perspectives to the discussions and outcomes that the workshop will foster.

This is a draft agenda and will change as we approach the date of the workshop. As we mentioned in the invitation, there will be few formal talks, rather, but with your help, we are confident that everyone will have both an interest in and ability to participate meaningfully. To that end, we will identify moderators for sessions 2-4 listed on the wiki who will help lead discussions around the emergent themes identified and clustered with related essays.

* What are successful models of organization and motivation in online communities that focus on commons-based peer production?
* How successfully have Creative Commons and other similar initiatives managed to mobilize resources, as well as set and communicate their agenda at a global level?
* What is the real impact and user perceptions of open licensing around the world and how do these differ from (local and global) expectations?

'''12:30 - 13:30 Lunch at Hauser Hall, Room 104 '''

'''13:30 - 15:00 Session 3: Free Culture and the Marketplace'''

Moderator: James Grimmelmann (NY Law School)

* Do creators operate differently in commercial vis-a-vis non-commercial environments? How can we best explore how social psychological, hedonic and financial motivations for production and participation play out in practice?
* Is it possible to reconcile private property and intellectual commons without falling into contradiction, or is the commons-based paradigm of production destined to antagonize the logic of markets?
* How much control does the market need to operate effectively and how much freedom can it tolerate?

'''15:00 - 15:15 Short Break '''

'''15:15 - 16:45 Session 4: Free Culture in Society'''

Moderator: Nagla Rizk (American University in Cairo)

* Can Creative Commons be reconceptualized as a social movement? Is Free Culture the goal of this movement and if so, what does it mean really? What are the implications of regarding CC and related efforts as elements of a social movement? Or are there better ways of thinking about CC and Free Culture?
* What are the broader social and political implications of efforts towards a Free Culture and how are these perceived by third parties? Also, how can we develop a more nuanced understanding of 'freedom', that is more inclusive of different perspectives?
* How do we envision a future of social engagement around issues of freedom and control on the Internet? What will be at stake and how can advocates of more open models of production and self-expression be more effective in influencing policy?

<big>'''Free Culture Research Workshop'''</big>

'''Harvard Law School'''
'''October 23, 2009'''

Sponsored by: Berkman, NEXA, iCommons

The Free Culture 2009 research workshop builds on the enthusiasm generated by the First Interdisciplinary Research Workshop on Free Culture which took place during the 2008 iSummit in Sapporo, Japan. It presents a unique opportunity for scholars whose work contributes to the promotion, study or criticism of an emerging Free Culture, to engage with a multidisciplinary group of academic peers and practitioners, identify the most important research opportunities and challenges, and attempt to chart the future of Free Culture.

Our aim is to provide an opportunity for scholars and practitioners to discuss their findings, experiences, and vision for a Free Culture with peers whose backgrounds extend beyond individual disciplines, because we believe that the wider participation in the creative process (and consequently in the formation and dissemination of our modern culture) enabled by new Internet technologies, innovative legal solutions and new business models, are far-reaching and therefore deserve to be examined through the lens of multidisciplinary inquiry. More specifically, this year's workshop will be focused on:

(a) participant interaction and joint reflection on key findings from cutting edge research in the field
(b) the development of a research agenda, with the identification of key topics for future research
(c) facilitating research collaborations and exchange of ideas between different academic institutions engaged in Free Culture research
(d) fostering useful academic outputs over the next 12+ months
(e) considering policy recommendations or a policy orientation that may emerge as a result of Free Culture research and scholarship

Program design and participant selection will be guided by these objectives, as set by the organizing committee in consultation with the host institution.

== Agenda ==

The event will consist mainly of sessions oriented towards discussion and idea generation. The organizing committee will therefore strive to convene those parties that will be most helpful in engendering dialogue and providing perspectives on the future of free culture research. To that end we will do our utmost to convene academics and others who have already made an impact with their works and actions in shaping the landscape of free culture. An open call for short essays (similar in length to an extended abstract, for details see below) will complement this effort and provide opportunities for wider participation and discussion. Submitted essays will be reviewed by the program committee and the authors of accepted submissions will be invited to attend the event. We will only be able to accept a small number of participants through the open call given the small size of the event, and we seek your understanding in this respect. Every accepted essay will be disseminated before, during and after the workshop and will provide useful inputs for the structuring of the discussions and working sessions to take place during the event. However, we wish to emphasize that the focus this year will be on participant interaction and idea generation rather than on traditional podium presentation. Being invited to the workshop is therefore also not a guarantee that you will be able to present your own work, but rather an invitation to contribute your expertise and perspectives to the discussions and outcomes that the workshop will foster.

This is a draft agenda and will change as we approach the date of the workshop. As we mentioned in the invitation, there will be few formal talks, rather, but with your help, we are confident that everyone will have both an interest in and ability to participate meaningfully. To that end, we will identify moderators for sessions 2-4 listed on the wiki who will help lead discussions around the emergent themes identified and clustered with related essays.

''All sessions will take place in Hauser Hall Room 104 at Harvard Law School. (Map: http://map.harvard.edu/level3.cfm?mapname=camb_allston&tile=F6&quadrant=C&series=N)''

Moderator: Aaron Shaw (Berkman Center/UC Berkeley)

* What are successful models of organization and motivation in online communities that focus on commons-based peer production?
* How successfully have Creative Commons and other similar initiatives managed to mobilize resources, as well as set and communicate their agenda at a global level?
* What is the real impact and user perceptions of open licensing around the world and how do these differ from (local and global) expectations?

'''12:30 - 13:30 Lunch at Hauser Hall, Room 104 '''

'''13:30 - 15:00 Session 3: Free Culture and the Marketplace'''

Moderator: James Grimmelmann (NY Law School)

* Do creators operate differently in commercial vis-a-vis non-commercial environments? How can we best explore how social psychological, hedonic and financial motivations for production and participation play out in practice?
* Is it possible to reconcile private property and intellectual commons without falling into contradiction, or is the commons-based paradigm of production destined to antagonize the logic of markets?
* How much control does the market need to operate effectively and how much freedom can it tolerate?

'''15:00 - 15:15 Short Break '''

'''15:15 - 16:45 Session 4: Free Culture in Society'''

Moderator: Nagla Rizk (American University in Cairo)

* Can Creative Commons be reconceptualized as a social movement? Is Free Culture the goal of this movement and if so, what does it mean really? What are the implications of regarding CC and related efforts as elements of a social movement? Or are there better ways of thinking about CC and Free Culture?
* What are the broader social and political implications of efforts towards a Free Culture and how are these perceived by third parties? Also, how can we develop a more nuanced understanding of 'freedom', that is more inclusive of different perspectives?
* How do we envision a future of social engagement around issues of freedom and control on the Internet? What will be at stake and how can advocates of more open models of production and self-expression be more effective in influencing policy?

Sponsored by: Berkman, NEXA, iCommons

The Free Culture 2009 research workshop builds on the enthusiasm generated by the First Interdisciplinary Research Workshop on Free Culture which took place during the 2008 iSummit in Sapporo, Japan. It presents a unique opportunity for scholars whose work contributes to the promotion, study or criticism of an emerging Free Culture, to engage with a multidisciplinary group of academic peers and practitioners, identify the most important research opportunities and challenges, and attempt to chart the future of Free Culture.

Our aim is to provide an opportunity for scholars and practitioners to discuss their findings, experiences, and vision for a Free Culture with peers whose backgrounds extend beyond individual disciplines, because we believe that the wider participation in the creative process (and consequently in the formation and dissemination of our modern culture) enabled by new Internet technologies, innovative legal solutions and new business models, are far-reaching and therefore deserve to be examined through the lens of multidisciplinary inquiry. More specifically, this year's workshop will be focused on:

(a) participant interaction and joint reflection on key findings from cutting edge research in the field
(b) the development of a research agenda, with the identification of key topics for future research
(c) facilitating research collaborations and exchange of ideas between different academic institutions engaged in Free Culture research
(d) fostering useful academic outputs over the next 12+ months
(e) considering policy recommendations or a policy orientation that may emerge as a result of Free Culture research and scholarship

Program design and participant selection will be guided by these objectives, as set by the organizing committee in consultation with the host institution.

== Agenda ==

The event will consist mainly of sessions oriented towards discussion and idea generation. The organizing committee will therefore strive to convene those parties that will be most helpful in engendering dialogue and providing perspectives on the future of free culture research. To that end we will do our utmost to convene academics and others who have already made an impact with their works and actions in shaping the landscape of free culture. An open call for short essays (similar in length to an extended abstract, for details see below) will complement this effort and provide opportunities for wider participation and discussion. Submitted essays will be reviewed by the program committee and the authors of accepted submissions will be invited to attend the event. We will only be able to accept a small number of participants through the open call given the small size of the event, and we seek your understanding in this respect. Every accepted essay will be disseminated before, during and after the workshop and will provide useful inputs for the structuring of the discussions and working sessions to take place during the event. However, we wish to emphasize that the focus this year will be on participant interaction and idea generation rather than on traditional podium presentation. Being invited to the workshop is therefore also not a guarantee that you will be able to present your own work, but rather an invitation to contribute your expertise and perspectives to the discussions and outcomes that the workshop will foster.

This is a draft agenda and will change as we approach the date of the workshop. As we mentioned in the invitation, there will be few formal talks, rather, but with your help, we are confident that everyone will have both an interest in and ability to participate meaningfully. To that end, we will identify moderators for sessions 2-4 listed on the wiki who will help lead discussions around the emergent themes identified and clustered with related essays.

* What is the real impact and user perceptions of open licensing around the world and how do these differ from (local and global) expectations?

'''13:30 - 15:00 Session 3: Free Culture and the Marketplace'''

Moderator: James Grimmelmann (NY Law School)

* Do creators operate differently in commercial vis-a-vis non-commercial environments? How can we best explore how social psychological, hedonic and financial motivations for production and participation play out in practice?
* Is it possible to reconcile private property and intellectual commons without falling into contradiction, or is the commons-based paradigm of production destined to antagonize the logic of markets?
* How much control does the market need to operate effectively and how much freedom can it tolerate?

'''15:00 - 15:15 Short Break '''

'''15:15 - 16:45 Session 4: Free Culture in Society'''

Moderator: Nagla Rizk (American University in Cairo)

* Can Creative Commons be reconceptualized as a social movement? Is Free Culture the goal of this movement and if so, what does it mean really? What are the implications of regarding CC and related efforts as elements of a social movement? Or are there better ways of thinking about CC and Free Culture?
* What are the broader social and political implications of efforts towards a Free Culture and how are these perceived by third parties? Also, how can we develop a more nuanced understanding of 'freedom', that is more inclusive of different perspectives?
* How do we envision a future of social engagement around issues of freedom and control on the Internet? What will be at stake and how can advocates of more open models of production and self-expression be more effective in influencing policy?

<big>'''Free Culture Research Workshop'''</big>

'''Harvard Law School'''
'''October 23, 2009'''

Sponsored by: Berkman, NEXA, iCommons

''Please note this workshop is closed to new participants, as we have reached capacity.''

The Free Culture 2009 research workshop builds on the enthusiasm generated by the First Interdisciplinary Research Workshop on Free Culture which took place during the 2008 iSummit in Sapporo, Japan. It presents a unique opportunity for scholars whose work contributes to the promotion, study or criticism of an emerging Free Culture, to engage with a multidisciplinary group of academic peers and practitioners, identify the most important research opportunities and challenges, and attempt to chart the future of Free Culture.

Our aim is to provide an opportunity for scholars and practitioners to discuss their findings, experiences, and vision for a Free Culture with peers whose backgrounds extend beyond individual disciplines, because we believe that the wider participation in the creative process (and consequently in the formation and dissemination of our modern culture) enabled by new Internet technologies, innovative legal solutions and new business models, are far-reaching and therefore deserve to be examined through the lens of multidisciplinary inquiry. More specifically, this year's workshop will be focused on:

(a) participant interaction and joint reflection on key findings from cutting edge research in the field
(b) the development of a research agenda, with the identification of key topics for future research
(c) facilitating research collaborations and exchange of ideas between different academic institutions engaged in Free Culture research
(d) fostering useful academic outputs over the next 12+ months
(e) considering policy recommendations or a policy orientation that may emerge as a result of Free Culture research and scholarship

Program design and participant selection will be guided by these objectives, as set by the organizing committee in consultation with the host institution.

== Agenda ==

The event will consist mainly of sessions oriented towards discussion and idea generation. The organizing committee will therefore strive to convene those parties that will be most helpful in engendering dialogue and providing perspectives on the future of free culture research. To that end we will do our utmost to convene academics and others who have already made an impact with their works and actions in shaping the landscape of free culture. An open call for short essays (similar in length to an extended abstract, for details see below) will complement this effort and provide opportunities for wider participation and discussion. Submitted essays will be reviewed by the program committee and the authors of accepted submissions will be invited to attend the event. We will only be able to accept a small number of participants through the open call given the small size of the event, and we seek your understanding in this respect. Every accepted essay will be disseminated before, during and after the workshop and will provide useful inputs for the structuring of the discussions and working sessions to take place during the event. However, we wish to emphasize that the focus this year will be on participant interaction and idea generation rather than on traditional podium presentation. Being invited to the workshop is therefore also not a guarantee that you will be able to present your own work, but rather an invitation to contribute your expertise and perspectives to the discussions and outcomes that the workshop will foster.

This is a draft agenda and will change as we approach the date of the workshop. As we mentioned in the invitation, there will be few formal talks, rather, but with your help, we are confident that everyone will have both an interest in and ability to participate meaningfully. To that end, we will identify moderators for sessions 2-4 listed on the wiki who will help lead discussions around the emergent themes identified and clustered with related essays.

Moderator: James Grimmelmann (NY Law School)

* Do creators operate differently in commercial vis-a-vis non-commercial environments? How can we best explore how social psychological, hedonic and financial motivations for production and participation play out in practice?
* Is it possible to reconcile private property and intellectual commons without falling into contradiction, or is the commons-based paradigm of production destined to antagonize the logic of markets?
* How much control does the market need to operate effectively and how much freedom can it tolerate?

'''15:15 - 16:45 Session 4: Free Culture in Society'''

Moderator: Nagla Rizk (American University in Cairo)

* Can Creative Commons be reconceptualized as a social movement? Is Free Culture the goal of this movement and if so, what does it mean really? What are the implications of regarding CC and related efforts as elements of a social movement? Or are there better ways of thinking about CC and Free Culture?
* What are the broader social and political implications of efforts towards a Free Culture and how are these perceived by third parties? Also, how can we develop a more nuanced understanding of 'freedom', that is more inclusive of different perspectives?
* How do we envision a future of social engagement around issues of freedom and control on the Internet? What will be at stake and how can advocates of more open models of production and self-expression be more effective in influencing policy?

<big>'''Free Culture Research Workshop'''</big>

'''Harvard Law School'''
'''October 23, 2009'''

Sponsored by: Berkman, NEXA, iCommons

''Please note this workshop is closed to new participants, as we have reached capacity.''

The Free Culture 2009 research workshop builds on the enthusiasm generated by the First Interdisciplinary Research Workshop on Free Culture which took place during the 2008 iSummit in Sapporo, Japan. It presents a unique opportunity for scholars whose work contributes to the promotion, study or criticism of an emerging Free Culture, to engage with a multidisciplinary group of academic peers and practitioners, identify the most important research opportunities and challenges, and attempt to chart the future of Free Culture.

Our aim is to provide an opportunity for scholars and practitioners to discuss their findings, experiences, and vision for a Free Culture with peers whose backgrounds extend beyond individual disciplines, because we believe that the wider participation in the creative process (and consequently in the formation and dissemination of our modern culture) enabled by new Internet technologies, innovative legal solutions and new business models, are far-reaching and therefore deserve to be examined through the lens of multidisciplinary inquiry. More specifically, this year's workshop will be focused on:

(a) participant interaction and joint reflection on key findings from cutting edge research in the field
(b) the development of a research agenda, with the identification of key topics for future research
(c) facilitating research collaborations and exchange of ideas between different academic institutions engaged in Free Culture research
(d) fostering useful academic outputs over the next 12+ months
(e) considering policy recommendations or a policy orientation that may emerge as a result of Free Culture research and scholarship

Program design and participant selection will be guided by these objectives, as set by the organizing committee in consultation with the host institution.

== Agenda ==

The event will consist mainly of sessions oriented towards discussion and idea generation. The organizing committee will therefore strive to convene those parties that will be most helpful in engendering dialogue and providing perspectives on the future of free culture research. To that end we will do our utmost to convene academics and others who have already made an impact with their works and actions in shaping the landscape of free culture. An open call for short essays (similar in length to an extended abstract, for details see below) will complement this effort and provide opportunities for wider participation and discussion. Submitted essays will be reviewed by the program committee and the authors of accepted submissions will be invited to attend the event. We will only be able to accept a small number of participants through the open call given the small size of the event, and we seek your understanding in this respect. Every accepted essay will be disseminated before, during and after the workshop and will provide useful inputs for the structuring of the discussions and working sessions to take place during the event. However, we wish to emphasize that the focus this year will be on participant interaction and idea generation rather than on traditional podium presentation. Being invited to the workshop is therefore also not a guarantee that you will be able to present your own work, but rather an invitation to contribute your expertise and perspectives to the discussions and outcomes that the workshop will foster.

This is a draft agenda and will change as we approach the date of the workshop. As we mentioned in the invitation, there will be few formal talks, rather, but with your help, we are confident that everyone will have both an interest in and ability to participate meaningfully. To that end, we will identify moderators for sessions 2-4 listed on the wiki who will help lead discussions around the emergent themes identified and clustered with related essays.

* What are successful models of organization and motivation in online communities that focus on commons-based peer production?

* What is the real impact and user perceptions of open licensing around the world and how do these differ from (local and global) expectations?

Moderator: James Grimmelmann (NY Law School)

* Do creators operate differently in commercial vis-a-vis non-commercial environments? How can we best explore how social psychological, hedonic and financial motivations for production and participation play out in practice?
* Is it possible to reconcile private property and intellectual commons without falling into contradiction, or is the commons-based paradigm of production destined to antagonize the logic of markets?
* How much control does the market need to operate effectively and how much freedom can it tolerate?

'''15:15 - 16:45 Session 4: Free Culture in Society'''

Moderator: Nagla Rizk (American University in Cairo)

* Can Creative Commons be reconceptualized as a social movement? Is Free Culture the goal of this movement and if so, what does it mean really? What are the implications of regarding CC and related efforts as elements of a social movement? Or are there better ways of thinking about CC and Free Culture?
* What are the broader social and political implications of efforts towards a Free Culture and how are these perceived by third parties? Also, how can we develop a more nuanced understanding of 'freedom', that is more inclusive of different perspectives?
* How do we envision a future of social engagement around issues of freedom and control on the Internet? What will be at stake and how can advocates of more open models of production and self-expression be more effective in influencing policy?

<big>'''Free Culture Research Workshop'''</big>

'''Harvard Law School'''
'''October 23, 2009'''

Sponsored by: Berkman, NEXA, iCommons

''Please note this workshop is closed to new participants, as we have reached capacity.''

The Free Culture 2009 research workshop builds on the enthusiasm generated by the First Interdisciplinary Research Workshop on Free Culture which took place during the 2008 iSummit in Sapporo, Japan. It presents a unique opportunity for scholars whose work contributes to the promotion, study or criticism of an emerging Free Culture, to engage with a multidisciplinary group of academic peers and practitioners, identify the most important research opportunities and challenges, and attempt to chart the future of Free Culture.

Our aim is to provide an opportunity for scholars and practitioners to discuss their findings, experiences, and vision for a Free Culture with peers whose backgrounds extend beyond individual disciplines, because we believe that the wider participation in the creative process (and consequently in the formation and dissemination of our modern culture) enabled by new Internet technologies, innovative legal solutions and new business models, are far-reaching and therefore deserve to be examined through the lens of multidisciplinary inquiry. More specifically, this year's workshop will be focused on:

(a) participant interaction and joint reflection on key findings from cutting edge research in the field
(b) the development of a research agenda, with the identification of key topics for future research
(c) facilitating research collaborations and exchange of ideas between different academic institutions engaged in Free Culture research
(d) fostering useful academic outputs over the next 12+ months
(e) considering policy recommendations or a policy orientation that may emerge as a result of Free Culture research and scholarship

Program design and participant selection will be guided by these objectives, as set by the organizing committee in consultation with the host institution.

== Agenda ==

The event will consist mainly of sessions oriented towards discussion and idea generation. The organizing committee will therefore strive to convene those parties that will be most helpful in engendering dialogue and providing perspectives on the future of free culture research. To that end we will do our utmost to convene academics and others who have already made an impact with their works and actions in shaping the landscape of free culture. An open call for short essays (similar in length to an extended abstract, for details see below) will complement this effort and provide opportunities for wider participation and discussion. Submitted essays will be reviewed by the program committee and the authors of accepted submissions will be invited to attend the event. We will only be able to accept a small number of participants through the open call given the small size of the event, and we seek your understanding in this respect. Every accepted essay will be disseminated before, during and after the workshop and will provide useful inputs for the structuring of the discussions and working sessions to take place during the event. However, we wish to emphasize that the focus this year will be on participant interaction and idea generation rather than on traditional podium presentation. Being invited to the workshop is therefore also not a guarantee that you will be able to present your own work, but rather an invitation to contribute your expertise and perspectives to the discussions and outcomes that the workshop will foster.

This is a draft agenda and will change as we approach the date of the workshop. As we mentioned in the invitation, there will be few formal talks, rather, but with your help, we are confident that everyone will have both an interest in and ability to participate meaningfully. To that end, we will identify moderators for sessions 2-4 listed on the wiki who will help lead discussions around the emergent themes identified and clustered with related essays.

'''13:30 - 15:00 Session 3: Free Culture and the Marketplace'''

Moderator: James Grimmelmann (NY Law School)

* Do creators operate differently in commercial vis-a-vis non-commercial environments? How can we best explore how social psychological, hedonic and financial motivations for production and participation play out in practice?
* Is it possible to reconcile private property and intellectual commons without falling into contradiction, or is the commons-based paradigm of production destined to antagonize the logic of markets?
* How much control does the market need to operate effectively and how much freedom can it tolerate?

'''15:00 - 15:15 Short Break '''

'''15:15 - 16:45 Session 4: Free Culture in Society'''

Moderator: Nagla Rizk (American University in Cairo)

* Can Creative Commons be reconceptualized as a social movement? Is Free Culture the goal of this movement and if so, what does it mean really? What are the implications of regarding CC and related efforts as elements of a social movement? Or are there better ways of thinking about CC and Free Culture?
* What are the broader social and political implications of efforts towards a Free Culture and how are these perceived by third parties? Also, how can we develop a more nuanced understanding of 'freedom', that is more inclusive of different perspectives?
* How do we envision a future of social engagement around issues of freedom and control on the Internet? What will be at stake and how can advocates of more open models of production and self-expression be more effective in influencing policy?

<big>'''Free Culture Research Workshop'''</big>

'''Harvard Law School'''
'''October 23, 2009'''

Sponsored by: Berkman, NEXA, iCommons

''Please note this workshop is closed to new participants, as we have reached capacity.''

The Free Culture 2009 research workshop builds on the enthusiasm generated by the First Interdisciplinary Research Workshop on Free Culture which took place during the 2008 iSummit in Sapporo, Japan. It presents a unique opportunity for scholars whose work contributes to the promotion, study or criticism of an emerging Free Culture, to engage with a multidisciplinary group of academic peers and practitioners, identify the most important research opportunities and challenges, and attempt to chart the future of Free Culture.

Our aim is to provide an opportunity for scholars and practitioners to discuss their findings, experiences, and vision for a Free Culture with peers whose backgrounds extend beyond individual disciplines, because we believe that the wider participation in the creative process (and consequently in the formation and dissemination of our modern culture) enabled by new Internet technologies, innovative legal solutions and new business models, are far-reaching and therefore deserve to be examined through the lens of multidisciplinary inquiry. More specifically, this year's workshop will be focused on:

(a) participant interaction and joint reflection on key findings from cutting edge research in the field
(b) the development of a research agenda, with the identification of key topics for future research
(c) facilitating research collaborations and exchange of ideas between different academic institutions engaged in Free Culture research
(d) fostering useful academic outputs over the next 12+ months
(e) considering policy recommendations or a policy orientation that may emerge as a result of Free Culture research and scholarship

Program design and participant selection will be guided by these objectives, as set by the organizing committee in consultation with the host institution.

== Agenda ==

The event will consist mainly of sessions oriented towards discussion and idea generation. The organizing committee will therefore strive to convene those parties that will be most helpful in engendering dialogue and providing perspectives on the future of free culture research. To that end we will do our utmost to convene academics and others who have already made an impact with their works and actions in shaping the landscape of free culture. An open call for short essays (similar in length to an extended abstract, for details see below) will complement this effort and provide opportunities for wider participation and discussion. Submitted essays will be reviewed by the program committee and the authors of accepted submissions will be invited to attend the event. We will only be able to accept a small number of participants through the open call given the small size of the event, and we seek your understanding in this respect. Every accepted essay will be disseminated before, during and after the workshop and will provide useful inputs for the structuring of the discussions and working sessions to take place during the event. However, we wish to emphasize that the focus this year will be on participant interaction and idea generation rather than on traditional podium presentation. Being invited to the workshop is therefore also not a guarantee that you will be able to present your own work, but rather an invitation to contribute your expertise and perspectives to the discussions and outcomes that the workshop will foster.

This is a draft agenda and will change as we approach the date of the workshop. As we mentioned in the invitation, there will be few formal talks, rather, but with your help, we are confident that everyone will have both an interest in and ability to participate meaningfully. To that end, we will identify moderators for sessions 2-4 listed on the wiki who will help lead discussions around the emergent themes identified and clustered with related essays.

''All sessions will take place in Hauser Hall Room 104 at Harvard Law School. (Map: http://map.harvard.edu/level3.cfm?mapname=camb_allston&tile=F6&quadrant=C&series=N)''

'''09:00 - 09:15 Welcome: Introduction to event and reiteration of workshop's aims'''

'''09:15 - 10:45 Session 1: Master class on free culture research led by 1-2 senior academics'''

'''10:45 - 11:00 Break '''

'''11:00 - 12:30 Session 2: Lessons from Practice'''

* What are successful models of organization and motivation in online communities that focus on commons-based peer production?
* How successfully have Creative Commons and other similar initiatives managed to mobilize resources, as well as set and communicate their agenda at a global level?
* What is the real impact and user perceptions of open licensing around the world and how do these differ from (local and global) expectations?

'''12:30 - 13:30 Lunch '''

'''13:30 - 15:00 Session 3: Free Culture and the Marketplace'''

* Do creators operate differently in commercial vis-a-vis non-commercial environments? How can we best explore how social psychological, hedonic and financial motivations for production and participation play out in practice?
* Is it possible to reconcile private property and intellectual commons without falling into contradiction, or is the commons-based paradigm of production destined to antagonize the logic of markets?
* How much control does the market need to operate effectively and how much freedom can it tolerate?

'''15:00 - 15:15 Short Break '''

'''15:15 - 16:45 Session 4: Free Culture in Society'''

* Can Creative Commons be reconceptualized as a social movement? Is Free Culture the goal of this movement and if so, what does it mean really? What are the implications of regarding CC and related efforts as elements of a social movement? Or are there better ways of thinking about CC and Free Culture?
* What are the broader social and political implications of efforts towards a Free Culture and how are these perceived by third parties? Also, how can we develop a more nuanced understanding of 'freedom', that is more inclusive of different perspectives?
* How do we envision a future of social engagement around issues of freedom and control on the Internet? What will be at stake and how can advocates of more open models of production and self-expression be more effective in influencing policy?
