Some of you might be interested in knowing about the launch of the
beta version of the Public Sphere Guide, co-sponsored by the Social
Science Research Council (SSRC) and NYU's Institute for Public
Knowledge (IPK):
http://publicsphere.ssrc.org/guide
The Public Sphere Guide serves as a research guide and teaching guide
and as a guide to the SSRC's public sphere program area, creating a
map of the fragmented interdisciplinary field of study and building a
resource for the renewal of the public sphere. This mapping project is
accompanied by an interactive essay forum on Transformations of the
Public Sphere:

In some ways, the Public Sphere Guide can also be seen as an attempt
to produce a Chuck Tilly-style annotated bibliography online.
