Subject: Academia.edu: 'tree' of academics launches
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.
I'm hoping that the site will list every academic in the world --
Faculty members, Post-Docs, and Graduate Students.
It's gaining some traction. Some professors on the site include:
- Richard Dawkins - http://oxford.academia.edu/RichardDawkins
- Noam Chomsky - http://mit.academia.edu/NoamChomsky
- Stephen Hawking - http://cambridge.academia.edu/StephenHawking
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
