- What's making it work for them?

Shaping Emergent Democracy
Hosted by Chris Lang, President, The Organization for Collaborative Leadership
The failure of state-sponsored networks relative to advocacy-sponsored networks suggests that emergent democracy is on track to destroy, rather than enhance, civic capital. The UW-Madison Collaborative Leadership Program hasdemonstrated that academic organizations are more willing and able to create anti-polarized networks because polarization also happens to limit pedagogical benefits. After a brief presentation about this model, we will synchronously and asynchronously discuss how network-builders can (and whether they should) reduce both their costs and their polarization by allowing academics to participate in network management. Session includes discussion in various related fields (MUDs, trust online, deliberation, collaborative interfaces, legal issues).

Special Event
Music, News and The Internet
The music and news industry are going through radical transformation due to the increase in blogs, file sharing, etc. Is this a good thing or a bad thing? Does file sharing hurt the struggling musician build grass roots appeal or hurt him by losing out on sales? Does it hurt the record industry or help by promoting music that is otherwise unheard due to corporate radio.
