This is just an update. The blog of my undergrad course on IT & Social Justice now has so many video clips and slideshows from my lectures available.

I haven’t had time to record my lectures — only slideshows — except for one on the Politics of Technology.

Feel free to check them out here. My students so far have blogged diligently in the last 3-4 weeks as well. You’re welcome to check their blogs as well.

It’s been too long, really. More than three years. At last, finally the book from our civic space project is out. I have my chapter there, Chapter 11, about civic spaces in Jakarta. Sadly, the book is too expensive for regular people to buy so only libraries (in developed countries) will have the book. I wish this kind of book can be cheaper. But I am trying to get my e-copy so I can put it online, just like what I have been doing with my other publications. Fingers crossed, I hope to get the file very soon.

update Dec 15, 2007: the chapter is already online here.
