FYI for all of you who found Castells' work interesting -- he'll be 
here during IAP (also known as January at MIT).

>>>The Department of Urban Studies and Planning, Media Arts and 
>>>Sciences, and the Program in Science, Technology and Society are

>>>the MIT campus to teach a (non-credit-bearing) graduate seminar on 
>>>"Information Technology and Society" during the Independent 
>>>Activities Period of 2004.  DUSP, MAS, and STS expect that 
>>>Professor Castells will continue to make annual visits to MIT to 
>>>conduct seminars for graduate students and faculty.
>>>
>>>The 2004 graduate seminar will meet in the Stella Room [Room 
>>>7-338] for five sessions, each one starting 10:30 AM and ending at 
>>>12:30 PM, from Monday to Friday, January 12-16.  A syllabus and 
>>>reading list will be available by the end of the fall term.
>>>
>>>Enrollment is limited to 25 graduate students. Since we anticipate 
>>>that we may have to limit enrollment, we are asking you to 
>>>indicate your interest in participating in this seminar by 
>>>November 14, 2003. To do this, please send a brief CV and a page 
>>>(ca. 250 words) explaining the reasons for your interest in the

>>>Williams (heads of DUSP, MAS, and STS respectively). You will be 
>>>notified by December 7 if your application has been accepted.
>>>
>>>Also, please let Kris Kipp know if you are interested in serving 
>>>as Professor Castells's assistant during the week of January 
>>>11-18. This would be a paid half-time job that would appeal to
