Welcome to the biennial Internet, Politics, and Policy (IPP) academic conference series. Our 2014 conference will explore the new research frontiers opened up by Crowdsourcing for Politics and Policy. It aims to serve as a forum to encourage discussion across disciplinary boundaries on how to exploit crowdsourcing to inform policy debates and advance social science research. We aim to identify what is novel in crowdsourcing, and the ways it enables and extends existing social and political processes.
Convened by the Oxford Internet Institute (University of Oxford) and OII-edited academic journal Policy and Internet, and supported by the ECPR Standing Group on Internet and Politics, the conference will take place at the University of Oxford on 25-26 September 2014.
Best wishes,
- Professor Helen Margetts, Academic Convenor (Oxford Internet Institute)
- Dr Vili Lehdonvirta (Oxford Internet Institute)
- David Sutcliffe (Oxford Internet Institute)
- Dr Sandra Gonzalez-Bailon (Annenberg School for Communication, UPenn)
- Dr Andrea Calderaro (European University Institute / ECPR)
