Email List: Cooperation Workshop/Mailing list

The Cooperation Workshop group is a small, user-driven forum for discussing empirical research on cooperation. Several, but not all, of the participants are fellows at the Berkman Center.

Some weeks, we have seminar sessions which are public talks with an invited guests and will involve a presentation and a seminar discussion over about 75 minutes. They will be clearly marked below and advertised on a series of email lists.

Most of our sessions are workshop sessions where the basic model is that each week, one participant will distribute work for discussion and feedback from the group. Researchers are welcome to join these workshop sessions but we do ask two things of all the participants:

  1. Each week some piece of writing will be shared with the group. This might be a draft of a paper, an extended abstracted or a description of a project, or a paper by someone outside of the group (e.g., a classic work) that provides important background. We expect everybody who joins the group to have read this material in advance.
  2. We ask that participants, especially those that wish to present, to become regular participants and not just come once or twice.

If you want to get an idea of what we do, you can check out our previous sessions:

Sessions Spring 2013

For our meetings in April, we will be meeting in WCC 3008 in Wasserstein Hall. We do not yet have a room for May so I've left the time unconfirmed. If this new time slot is working out, we will ensure that the group continues to meet at the same time.

Tuesday April 2, 2013 10:30-11:30

Feedback for Maura Marx, Rebekah Heacock and Kenny Whitebloom on the Digital Public Library of American project and ideas about how to design/build for engagement.

Tuesday April 16, 2013 10:30-11:30

Aaron (from remote) and Mako on Laboratories of Oligarchy? How the Iron Law Extends to Peer Production. A draft and some questions will be circulated to the list soon.

Tuesday April 23, 2013 10:30-11:30

Session to discuss the research on comparative advantages of peer production by Marco Berlinguer. Marco Berlinguer, italian, is researcher at the Autonomous University of Barcelona and will be visiting Cambridge in April.

Marco – merging different steams in literature (CBPP, management studies, and social economy studies) - is developing a conceptual framework on the conditions of possibility and of success of CBPP in contrast to other modes of production. Assuming a broader understanding of sustainability of peer production, Marco developed cases studies analyzing the monetarian and non-monetarian sustainability of peer production, looking to how particularly the capability to access, engage and put at work non-monetary resources constitute a condition of possibility and a comparative advantage of peer production in contrast to other forms of production. He would share a short text in advance and explain us the research he has done in the area, and would be happy to discuss the research design for a new project.
