HARVARD FACULTY SEMINAR ON INFORMATION INFRASTRUCTURE AND GOVERNANCE
This seminar is an activity of the Harvard Information Infrastructure Project, chaired by Dean Joseph Nye, Jr. The seminar is intended to increase cooperation and multidisciplinary activity at Harvard University and to create networks among faculty interested in information infrastructure issues. Faculty throughout the University have participated in the seminar and brought their expertise to bear on the interplay of information infrastructure and governance, the manner in which their fields will affect or be affected by this dynamic, and the relationships of their domains to others, both those with which they have traditionally shared borders and those with which now, because of information technology advances, they have begun or will soon begin to overlap or to share common boundaries.
