How does the explosive expansion of the noisy, demanding, unpredictable online world change an academic life? How can you use your personal website, Facebook and Twitter to expand your readership and find new research possibilities and collaborators? What kind of online persona can you have, and what kind should you avoid? What do you do when your work is wildly misunderstood, or just stolen?
Join Jonathan Zittrain (George Bemis Professor of Law), Archon Fung (Ford Foundation Professor of Democracy and Citizenship), and Perry Hewitt (Harvard's Chief Digital Officer) in a wide-ranging, town-hall conversation about the new opportunities and new problems of intellectual property and academic life, with “practical pointers and cool tools” to help find your collaborators and your audiences, and defeat the trolls and pirates. Lunch will be served. To encourage frank interaction, this event will not be videotaped.
