# Each week some contextual writing will be shared with the around. This might be a draft of a paper, an extended abstracted or a description of a project, a paper (perhaps by another author) that provides important background. We expect everybody who joins the group to have done read this material in advance. | |||

=== Session 1: September 22, 2011 === | |||
Because we had an early meeting, we will simply have a reading group for the following paper related to the social impact of decreased communication costs brought about by new technology: | |||

=== Session 2: September 29, 2011 === | |||
From Aaron: | |||
: I'll be talking about some work I've been doing independently as well as in collaboration with Mako and Yochai. | |||
:The four page "Project Memo" summarizes where I think we're going with this and how it fits into my personal research agenda. The much longer "Gatekeeping Online" piece is a paper I've been revising and resubmitting lately that should help to frame/illustrate the current state of my thinking on these topics in a more detailed way. For the purposes of our discussion, it is important that you read the short memo. | |||
: FWIW, one slightly esoteric theory that frames much of this work is Robert Michels' (1915) "Iron Law of Oligarchy." If you want to know more about it, you can download a copy of the book from the Internet Archive. | |||

=== Session 3: October 6, 2011 === | |||
Andrés Monroy-Hernández will present an idea for a paper, perhaps for [http://thecommunicationspace.com/forum/topics/cfp-special-issue-of-jcmc-on-participatory-websites-and-user?xg_source=activity a special issue of JCMC] on participatory websites and user-generated content. | |||
The goal is to explore these two questions: | |||
# What makes some content more likely to be reused or remixed than others? | |||
# When content is remixed, how original are those remixes? What leads to more originality? | |||
Readings include: | |||

* [http://epicenter.media.mit.edu/~mako/cooperation/monroy-chi2012.pdf Paper on a methodology that might be used for answering question 2]. ('''Contextual''') | |||
=== Session 4: October 13, 2011 === | |||
Attendance: Mayo | |||
=== | === Session 5: October 20, 2011 === | ||
Brian Keegan will present some recent findings and on-going dissertation research about the structures, dynamics, and practices particular to Wikipedia's coverage of breaking news events. The goal is to explore questions related to how: | |||
# Collaborations about breaking news events are distinct from traditional articles | |||
# The ecosystem of roles within these collaboration which users inhabit and re-create across time and collaborations | |||
# Better design wikis or other open collaboration systems to support high-tempo knowledge work. | |||
