So, here is me coming out about my new (professional) home… just this week I joined the Communications and New Media Programme at the National University of Singapore. Those who care to read this blog will know that I came to Singapore about 2 years ago, with a visiting appointment at the School of Information Systems of Singapore Management University. The time at SMU was great, intensive and very productive. It helped me launch the CC-Monitor project and make a few contributions to the research and practice of commons-based peer production.
Given that I quite liked Singapore and needed to find a more long-term home for my work with a good fit with my research interests I came in touch with the folks at CNM, then one thing led to another, and now I’m sitting at the Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences, my new home away from home. It’s quite a change, to be sure, and my roots are still in CS/IS, but as the Internet becomes increasingly “social”, getting more involved with the social sciences feels like a natural progression. CNM in particular is a unique place that blends computer science and the social sciences in its mission to promote the study and development of communications and new media.
I could go on and on about all the interesting new possibilities that this move is opening up, but I will leave it at that for now and move on to more news… this blog hasn’t seen updates in a while and there’s a lot to share…
