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 and Cambridge, I've just launched a
website, www.academia.edu, which does two things:
- It shows academics around the world structured in a 'tree' format,
displayed according to their departmental and institutional affiliations.
- It enables academics to see news on the latest research in their
area - 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.
Academics can add their departments, and themselves, to the tree by
clicking on the arrows.
Academics are joining the tree rapidly. More than 9,000 academics have
added themselves 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 as much as possible.
It would be terrific if you could visit the site, and add yourself to
your department on the tree. If your university is not there, you can
add it by clicking on the arrows coming out of the university boxes.
And do spread the word to your friends and colleagues if you can.
Many thanks,
Richard
