Berkman Fellows and friends are bookending the U.S.A.for two great conferences today - Beyond Broadcast in Washington D.C. and Supernova in San Francisco.
Beyond Broadcast:
Mapping Public Media, hosted by the Center for Social Media at American University, is taking a sharp look at
visualization and mapping tools online. Berkman's Jake Shapiro and
Persephone Miel will revisit the conversations had at Berkman@10 and Media Re:public's spring conference.
The day's full slate can be found here.
Meanwhile,
Berkman's managing director Colin Maclay is moderating a panel at Supernova on 'The Internet's
Constitutional Moments.' Its description reads:
"As
established governing bodies of various sorts explore the impact of new
rules on the Internet, the Net continues to have its own "constitutional
moments," including many that are bottom up. The BerkmanCenter's recently
launched Publius Project is an effort to understand how the Internet is
actually governed, and how we might want it to be. During this session, four
diverse perspectives among the many represented within the project will examine
how decision-making processes --whether via Web 2.0 technologies, international
organizations, or business models -- give rise to norms, rules, and
"constitutional moments" that affect our behavior online, and
ultimately define the nature of the Net."
Supernova's
full agenda can be found here.
If
you're not at either, you can find information, videos, liveblogs and more at
the conference sites.
