The Future of the Forum: Internet Communities and the Public Interest

The Future of the Forum: Internet Communities and the Public Interest: "This one-day symposium will explore the questions: How are Internet communities re-configuring and re-constituting common conceptions of the public, the public good, the public interest, and civic responsibility? What new forms of dialogue are emerging with our new media? When do the pleasures of interacting with digital technologies coincide with, and facilitate, progressive social action?"
