Topic: The MoveOn Effect: The Internet's Impact on Political Action?
Guests: Dave Karpf, Rutgers Assistant Professor and Yale Information Society Project Fellow
Rutgers Assistant Professor and Yale Information Society Project Fellow
Dave Karpf discusses his research on the emergence of a new generation
of internet-mediated political advocacy groups in America. Karpf
argues that changes in membership and fundraising regimes are affecting
the political economy of interest group action, dramatically altering
the interest group ecology of American politics. The talk will focus
on issues with studying groups who, despite online information
abundance, keep the important data behind firewalls.

Studies Department at Rutgers University, School of Communication and
Information. He holds a Ph.D in political science from the University

Topic: Good Faith Collaboration: The Culture of Wikipedia
Guests: Joseph Reagle, Berkman Center Fellow
Wikipedia's style of collaborative production has been lauded,
lambasted, and satirized. Despite unease over its implications for the
character (and quality) of knowledge, Wikipedia has brought us closer
than ever to a realization of the century-old pursuit of a universal
encyclopedia. Good Faith Collaboration: The Culture of Wikipedia is a
rich ethnographic portrayal of Wikipedia's historical roots,
collaborative culture, and much debated legacy.
About Joseph
Joseph Reagle is a fellow at the Berkman Center for Internet and
Society at Harvard University, where he studies collaborative cultures.
He received his Ph.D., and was an adjunct faculty member, at NYU's
Department of Media, Culture, and Communication. As a Research Engineer
at MIT's Lab for Computer Science and Working Group Chair and Author
within IETF and W3C, he contributed to several specifications on
digital security and privacy. He also helped develop and maintain W3C's
privacy and intellectual rights policies (i.e., copyright/trademark
licenses and patent analysis). Dr. Reagle has degrees in Computer
Science (UMBC), Technology Policy (MIT), and Media, Culture, and
Communication (NYU). He served as a fellow at the Berkman Center for
Internet & Society, has been consulted on new-media related
projects, and has been profiled, interviewed, and quoted in national
media including Technology Review, The Economist, The New York Times
and American and New Zealand Public Radio. A book, based on his
dissertation, about Wikipedia history and collaboration will be
available in 2010 from The MIT Press.
