> Hi all,
>
> I’m a prize fellow in philosophy at All Souls College Oxford, where I
> recently finished my D.Phil on the philosophy of perception.
>
> I’ve just launched a website, www.academia.edu, which does two things:
>
>
> -          It displays academics around the world in a ‘tree’ format,
> according to what university/department they are affiliated with.
>
> -          It enables an academic to have an easy-to-maintain academic
> webpage. My webpage on Academia.edu is here:
> http://oxford.academia.edu/RichardPrice
>
>
> My hope for the site is that it will list every academic – Faculty
> members, Post-Docs, and Graduate Students - in the world, and display
> where they are working. I also hope people will use the site to keep
> track of what people in their field are working on.
>
> I’m trying to spread the word about www.academia.edu, so, if you  
> have a
> minute, please visit the site, and add yourself to your department.  
> (Or
> add your department/university to the tree if it is not there already;
> it is easy to add a university or department by clicking on the  
> arrows).
>
> And do spread the word to your friends and colleagues if you can.

> Many thanks,
