The Cooperation Workshop group is a small, user-driven forum for discussing early-stage cooperation research. Several, but not all, of the participants are Berkman Fellows. Each week, one participant will presents work for discussion and feedback for the group.
Other researchers are welcome to join but we do ask two things of any participants:
- 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.
- We ask that participants, especially those that wish to present, to become regular participants and not just come once.

Fall 2011 Schedule
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:
- Dittmar, Jeremiah E. 2011. “Information Technology and Economic Change: The Impact of The Printing Press.” The Quarterly Journal of Economics 126(3):1133 -1172. Retrieved October 5, 2011. [1]
Session 2: September 29, 2011
Session 3: October 6, 2011
Andrés Monroy-Hernández will present an idea for a paper, perhaps for 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:
- This rough attempt at a summary/extended abstract. (Core reading)
- This paper on a methodology that might be used for answering question 2. (Contextual)
