Dear all,
I'm a Fellow of All Souls College, Oxford, where I recently finished my Ph.D
on the philosophy of perception.
Together with a team of people from Stanford University and Cambridge
University, I've launched a website, www.academia.edu, which does two
things:
- It displays researchers around the world in a 'tree diagram' format,
showing which institution/department they are affiliated with.
- It enables researchers to keep track of the latest developments in their
field - the latest people, papers, and talks.
We're hoping that the site will eventually list every academic in the world
-- Faculty members, Post-Docs, and Graduate Students. People can add their
departments, and themselves, to the tree by clicking on the arrows.
The site is getting some traction. Almost 6,000 academics have joined
Academia.edu in the last two months. Some professors on the site include:
- Richard Dawkins - http://oxford.academia.edu/RichardDawkins
- Stephen Hawking - http://cambridge.academia.edu/StephenHawking
- Paul Krugman - http://princeton.academia.edu/PaulKrugman
- Noam Chomsky - http://mit.academia.edu/NoamChomsky
We're trying to spread the word about www.academia.edu. It would be
wonderful if you could visit the site, and add yourself to your department
on the tree. If your department/university is not there, you can add it/them
by clicking on the arrows coming out of the department/university boxes.
And do spread the word to your friends and colleagues if you can.
Many thanks,
Richard
