Dear Colleagues
The Oxford Internet Institute (OII), in association with the Chinese
Academy of Social Sciences, plans to hold its 2005 Summer Doctoral
Programme (SDP) in Beijing from 7-21 July.
The SDP is designed to support advanced doctoral students engaged in
dissertation research on the economic, political, legal and other
social aspects of the Internet and related information and
communication technologies. The Beijing SDP will not only be of greater
value to students from Asia, but also students from around the world
who wish to better understand the growing role of Asia, and China in
particular, in shaping the development of the Internet and its social
implications.
The programme will be conducted in partnership with: The Annenberg
School for Communication at the University of Pennsylvania; The Berkman
Center for Internet & Society at the Harvard Law School; the Center for
the Digital Future at the Annenberg School at the University of
Southern California; the Creative Industries Faculty at Queensland
University of Technology; the School of Informatics at SUNY Buffalo;
the School of Journalism and Communication at the Chinese University of
Hong Kong; and the Singapore Internet Research Centre at Nanyang
Technological University. All of these institutions will contribute to
the teaching faculty.
A press release, with more information about this year’s programme in
Beijing, is available at: www.oii.ox.ac.uk/teaching/?rq=sdp Please feel
free to post this release, or pass it on to other colleagues as
appropriate.
I would encourage doctoral students who are interested in this
programme to e-mail the OII at sdp at oii.ox.ac.uk to register their
interest and to begin speaking with their advisors about the potential
value of this programme to the successful completion of their
dissertations.
Thanks to the support of the Higher Education Funding Council for
England and OII’s collaborating partners, a limited number of bursaries
(scholarships) will be available. I would greatly appreciate your help
in bringing this opportunity to the attention of doctoral students who
might benefit from working with other advanced doctoral students and
researchers in the field of Internet studies.
Thank you very much.
Sincerely,
Bill Dutton
Director
Oxford Internet Institute
