wanna go to beijing?


Just got back from the CSAA conference in Perth, and am now both knackered and leading a week-long Digital Storytelling workshop – I have about 20,000 words of blogging to do about both of those. But for now, one of my lame “announcement” posts.

I had the _best_ time at the Oxford Internet Institute Summer Doctoral Programme this year, and next year they’re going to hold it in Beijing. So if you’re a social science (very broadly defined) PhD student working on the Internet, then this is for you:

The Oxford Internet Institute is pleased to announce that the application process for our next Summer Doctoral Programme is now open. The 2005 programme will take place in the city of Beijing, China between the 7th and 21st July 2005. The programme will focus on the increasingly multilingual, multicultural character of the Internet and Web, particularly with the rapidly growing prominence of Asia, and China, in this global network of information, communication, services and technologies.

Further information regarding the programme and details on how to apply, are now available on our website. Please see:
