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:

  1. 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.
  2. We ask that participants, especially those that wish to present, to become regular participants and not just come once.
