Participants needed for Open Philosophy workshop (you will be paid £10/h) and for Walter Benjamin reading group.

Dear all

Want a tool that will enable you to read the texts you required for your research online for free? Do you want to be able to annotate these texts and share your insights with others? Want to be able to look at the bibliographies, annotations and translations of others whose work you admire?

If so, come and help us make Open Philosophy!

Open Philosophy ( http://textusproject.org/blog/ ) is a collaborative project between Goldsmiths and the Open Knowledge Foundation, aiming at developing an open source tool that will allow people to share public domain philosophical texts, annotations about them and scholarly bibliography.

The first beta version of Open Philosophy is now ready for test use, and we are organizing a user testing workshop and a weekly Walter Benjamin reading group using Open Philosophy to read and collaborate around small short essays.

User Testing Workshop;
When: 21st May Monday from 1pm to 6pm
Where: RHB 250 Goldsmiths
.
* You will be paid £10/h for attending the workshop

Goldsmiths from the sky

The Virtual Graduate School runs in parallel to the real-space Graduate School and provides academic and social space for all graduate students at Goldsmiths. It is an arena for discussion and debate across Goldsmiths, and for student networking. It promotes student access to information about postgraduate training and funding, academic and social events, and support. We hope that this will enhance interdisciplinarity, and help you to feel part of a wider community.
