Technology-Mediated Social Participation includes social networking tools, blogs and microblogs, user-generated content sites, discussion groups, problem reporting, recommendation systems, and other social media applied to national priorities such as health, energy, education, disaster response, political participation, environmental protection, business innovation, or community safety. During the 4-day workshop, students will attend presentations from an interdisciplinary group of leaders in the field and engage in other research and community-building activities like working on short-term projects, sharing research plans, developing new research collaborations, learning relevant software, analysis methods and data collection tools, and meeting Federal policy makers. Accepted students will receive financial support. We will provide suggested places to stay, but students may arrange to stay with friends or relatives in the area. _______________________________________________ dub mailing list dub@dub.washington.edu http://dub.washington.edu/mailman/listinfo/dub
