The society and technology interest group (soctech) is an informal interest group that we are starting up among UW-CSE students to promote awareness of various social computing issues, in both CSE and the UW. We plan to collaborate with other departments, with possible aims including the production of cross-departmental courses, lecture series, or white papers.
We're just getting started; we have a mailing list, soctech@cs. Here's the public list info page.
Contents
Current activities
- soctech seminar: plans for a seminar, to be offered first in Fall or Winter 2004-2005
- society and technology briefings: to help bridge cross-disciplinary communication barriers, we plan to prepare a series of briefings.
- soctech activity brainstorming: use this page to record ideas for new activities for the CIS, soctech, etc. to engage in.
