I am happy to announce that the faculty at the University of Maryland
in sociology, computer science and the iSchool along with the Social
Media Research Foundation are hosting an NSF sponsored workshop on
technology mediated social participation (TMSP) with an emphasis on
social networks and social media.

The workshop is open to US doctoral students in a variety of

etc.) and includes a stipend to support participation.

The Summer Social Webshop (@Webshop_UMD) is 4-day interdisciplinary

groups, problem reporting, recommendation systems, and other social
media.
