[elipsis to the "how to" details]
The format of the virtual conference will consist of a 48-hour period of open
online dialogue and commenting in response to several essays that will be
posted at the Fukushima Forum web site (please sign on at
<http://fukushimaforum.wordpress.com/conferences/>
Scholars of any discipline are invited to contribute to this discussion on the
Fukushima Forum blog, and/or in a more informal setting on the Fukushima Forum
Google Groups site <http://fukushimaforum.wordpress.com/conferences/>
(please register at: <http://groups.google.com/group/fukushima-forum?hl=en>
Registration is open and ongoing through 12 March. Participants are also
encouraged to submit their own topics and essays for conversation as well as to
share information; moderation in both instances will be provided throughout by
the co-sponsors.
Throughout the two-day online conference, comments may touch upon these and
other topics...
=-=-=-=-= For a different model for asynchronous seminar interchange, consider the several 16 day electronic seminars held through MediAnth [media anthropology]:
-Author's paper is given to discussant(s), later released to e-list readers to see it
-Discussant reacts, then author responds.
-Now the floor is open for a two week period.
-The session closes and is archived online after discussant and author give final remarks
