Hi all,
I'm a Fellow of All Souls College Oxford, where I recently finished my Ph.D
on the philosophy of perception.
I've just launched a website, www.academia.edu, which does two things:
- It displays academics around the world in a 'tree' format, according to
what university/department they are affiliated with.
- It enables researchers to keep track of the latest developments in their
field - the latest people and papers.
My hope for the site is that it will list every academic in the world --
Faculty members, Post-Docs, and Graduate Students.
It's gaining some traction - Richard Dawkins is on there (
http://oxford.academia.edu/RichardDawkins ), and some other professors are
such as Stephen Hawking ( http://cambridge.academia.edu/StephenHawking ) and
Noam Chomsky ( http://mit.academia.edu/NoamChomsky ).
I'm trying to spread the word about www.academia.edu. If you have a minute,
it would be great if you could forward this message to your departments,
organizations, or institutions.
The site is set up so that people can add themselves to the tree easily. If
your department/university is not there, you can add it/them by clicking on
the arrows coming out of the department/university boxes. Although the site
is currently set up with just Faculty, Post-Doc, and Graduate students
levels in the departments, we are in the process of adding more levels such
as Administrative Staff, and Research Staff.
Many thanks for forwarding this email on.
Richard
