A blog post I wrote from a talk by Andrés Monroy Hernández has inspired a long collaboration with Andrés and the first inklings of my PhD topic. My presentation received amazingly helpful feedback and connections. In my two years as a Master’s student at the Media Lab, the inspiration and genuine encouragement of people at Berkman influenced major parts of my research. Molly also encouraged me to present my work-in-progress to the Cyberscholars working group, which I eventually came to co-facilitate. Over the last two years, Molly and my advisor Ethan encouraged me to visit Berkman events and blog them, which has been a fantastic learning experience. I haven’t fully overcome my shyness about chats with people who get lots of media attention, but I am learning to value what I bring to the conversation as a maker & researcher. When I first arrived in Boston in 2011, I was starstruck and envious to learn that my colleague Molly Sauter had been Jonathan Zittrain’s research assistant. You should also know that is not official advice, and I’m not on the selection committee. This post tells my story, explains what I’m doing now, and answers questions you might have about being a Berkman Fellow. As a PhD student at the MIT Media Lab, I’m deeply enjoying the opportunity. I’m a Berkman Fellow for the 2013-2014 academic year. Here, I try to explain why makers, computational social scientists, and computer scientists should apply, even if you haven’t finished your PhD. The official link has helpful information about qualifications, funding, and more. If you haven’t clicked on that link and started filling out the application, this blog post is for you. Please feel most welcome to share this info with others who you think might have interest.You should apply to be a Berkman Fellow next year, especially if you’re a designer, computer scientist, or researcher of technology.
