Dear all, Please see the message below. I think that strategically it would be a good idea if we could attach ourselves to 'tree' giving the academic study of magic some sort of profile in the wider groves of academe. Also, I'd like to welcome a flurry of new members to the list. Currently there are something in the region of 300 subscribers which I think is wonderful news. Please feel free to introduce yourselves, contribute or start a new thread. Best Wishes, Dave Dr Dave Green Senior Lecturer in Sociology Society for the Academic Study of Magic (SASM): http://www.uwe.ac.uk/hlss/research/usrc/sasm/index.shtml <http://www.uwe.ac.uk/hlss/research/usrc/sasm/index.shtml> writing a haiku in the sand ... a wave finishes it ---Original Message----- From: Newsletter of the European Sociological Association (ESA) [mailto:[log in to unmask]] On Behalf Of Richard Price Sent: 15 September 2008 19:24 To: [log in to unmask] Subject: Academia.edu: 'tree' of academics launches Hi all, I'm a prize fellow in philosophy at All Souls College Oxford, where I recently finished my D.Phil 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 an academic to have an easy-to-maintain academic webpage. My webpage on Academia.edu is here: http://oxford.academia.edu/RichardPrice My hope for the site is that it will list every academic - Faculty members, Post-Docs, and Graduate Students - in the world, and display where they are working. I also hope people will use the site to keep track of what people in their field are working on. I'm trying to spread the word about www.academia.edu, so, if you have a minute, please visit the site, and add yourself to your department. (Or add your department/university to the tree if it is not there already; it is easy to add a university or department by clicking on the arrows). And do spread the word to your friends and colleagues if you can. Many thanks, Richard Dr. Richard Price, Prize Fellow, All Souls College, Oxford, OX1 4AL http://oxford.academia.edu/RichardPrice ________________________________ This incoming email to UWE has been independently scanned for viruses by McAfee anti-virus software and none were detected This email was independently scanned for viruses by McAfee anti-virus software and none were found
