As part of my consulting work for Markle Foundation I'll be back in
San Francisco in a few weeks to participate in the APSA Annual Conference
<http://www.apsanet.org/mtgs/> with a few thousand political scientists.

If you will be at the conference, come by the "Politics at the Internet
Frontier" panel on Saturday, September 1 at 8:45 a.m..  I also dug through
the giant conference agenda and pulled out all the Internet-related
sessions I could find.  Which sessions do you recommend?

DO-WIRE Gathering, Papers

On Friday, August 31 at around 5:30 p.m. I'd like to gather some of the
best researchers attending the conference who have an active interest in
the future of the Internet and politics. What are your thoughts on what is
next? What we have actually "learned" so far with the Internet and
democracy?

(I am always open to e-mail receipt of academic papers
<clift at publicus.net>.  I'll only mention your paper to the 2,100 people on
DO-WIRE  <http://www.e-democracy.org/do> if it is online for public
review.  Say, you can check out the 25 key papers submitted last year with
the keyword "Internet" at <http://PRO.harvard.edu/search.htm> - search
now, for they will be replaced with this year's papers soon.)

If you will be at the conference, drop me an e-mail <clift at publicus.net>
with your contact details, what you are currently researching, and please
forward this to others you think should join us on Friday, August 31.

Cheers,

Internet and its resources can be used to enhance the teaching of
Political Science.  First, the use of the Internet to enhance traditional

Political Science. Fee:  $20 faculty/$10 graduate students.  Registration
