Dear Colleagues,
the Knowledge Media Research Center, especially the Leibniz Graduate
School for Knowledge Media Research and the ScienceCampus Tuebingen, would
like to invite the young researchers of your Lab to the
Summer School on "Making Sense of Social Media"
to be held in August 1-4, 2011 in the Swabian Alb, Germany.
The Summer School addresses empirically oriented psychologists and social
scientists dealing with questions in the field of Web 2.0 and social
media. It presents a unique opportunity for young researchers to meet
fellow researchers and learn from outstanding scientific leaders by
developing new research ideas. Across three parallel workshop tracks
(about 10 participants each), the Summer School »Making sense of social
media« provides the framework to discuss recent developments from a
scientific point of view, share ideas and gain insights into how we as a
research community can make sense of social media.
Keynote Speakers:
- Robert Kraut, Carnegie Mellon University, Pittsburgh, PA
- Judith Donath, Harvard University, Cambridge, MA
Track Leaders:
- Sonja Utz, VU University, Amsterdam, NL (Track I: Learning about Others
Interpersonal Relationships)
- Dan Cosley, Cornell University, Ithaca, NY (Track II: Learning from
Others Social Navigation)
- Jan Van Aalst, The University of Hong Kong, RC (Track III: Learning with
Others Knowledge Building)
The Summer School is designed for PhD students and post-doctoral
researchers within two years after completion of their thesis in
psychology or social sciences.
We want to offer your young researchers to take part in and we thank you
very much informing them by this E-Mail. The deadline for application is
May 1, 2011. All information are available on web:
