<FONT FACE="Helvetica">Hi all,<BR>
<BR>
I’m a Ph.d. candidate in PoliticalScience at Harvard, where I’m working on a dissertation about hacktivism (the phenomenon of politically motivated computer hacking). As part of my dissertation research, I am going to spend a couple of months next spring/summer (2003) in Germany, conducting research on the Computer Chaos Club, a prominent German hacker organization. <BR>
<BR>
I am hoping to find a research institute or university department that I can use as a home base while I am in Germany, ideally in Berlin. I don’t need an office, and I am happy to lecture or provide research support — I have taught, written, and consulted extensively on e-politics/e-democracy so have some knowledge and research skills to offer. I am also reasonably functional in German. But it would be very helpful to have some sort of academic affiliation while in Germany. Does anyone have a suggestion, or interest in having an Internet-oriented colleague for a couple of months?<BR>
<BR>
More info on my research and background is available on my web site at http://www.alexandrasamuel.com. Thanks in advance for any advice.<BR>
