Priya Kumar – CASCI

Welcome

The Center for the Advanced Study of Communities and Information (CASCI) is a multidisciplinary research network, based at University of Maryland. CASCI exists to facilitate research and education that advances our understanding of the technology, information, and organization approaches needed to realize the potential of 21st century communities to support learning, facilitate innovation, transform science and scholarship, promote economic development, and enhance individual and civic well-being.

CASCI & Covid-19

Due to the restrictions incurred by the COVID-19 pandemic, we unfortunately are unable to continue the CASCI speaker and reading series for the remainder of the Spring’20 term. We discussed hosting these events entirely online, but realize that the dynamism of these events come from our co-located interaction with the speakers and each other. We are actively working to reschedule these for the Fall semester. We also realize how valuable it is to nurture our campus community of sociotech scholars, so stay tuned for more information about some virtual events in the coming weeks to liven up your quarantine with some great scholarly connection opportunities!
