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 - Stephen Hawking is on there, (
http://cambridge.academia.edu/StephenHawking ), and other professors are
including Richard Dawkins ( http://oxford.academia.edu/RichardDawkins ), and
Noam Chomsky ( http://mit.academia.edu/NoamChomsky ).
I'm trying to spread the word about www.academia.edu. If you have a minute,
please 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
