Dear all,
I'm a Fellow of All Souls College, Oxford, where I recently finished my Ph.D
on the philosophy of perception.
With a team of people from Stanford University and Cambridge University,
I've launched a website, www.academia.edu, which does two things:
- It shows researchers around the world in a 'tree' format, organized
according to which institution/department they are affiliated with.
- It enables academics to keep track of the latest news in their field -
the latest people, papers and talks.
We are hoping that Academia.edu 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. Over 5,000 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 Academia.edu amongst academics. If you
have a moment, it would be great 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
