You see things; and you say, 'Why?' But I dream things that never were; and I say, "Why not?"
George Bernard Shaw (1856 - 1950), "Back to Methuselah" (1921), part 1, act 1
Don't let fear convince you that you're too weak to have courage. Fear is the opportunity for courage, not the proof of cowardice.
McCain, John (2004, September). In Search of Courage: Finding the Courage Within You. FastCompany, 51-56.
In the search for character and commitment, we must rid ourselves of our inherited, even cherished biases and prejudices. Character, ability and intelligence are not concentrated in one sex over the other, nor in persons with certain accents or in certain races or in persons holding degrees from some universities over others. When we indulge ourselves in such irrational prejudices, we damage ourselves most of all and ultimately assure ourselves of failure in competition with those more open and less biased.
J. Irwin Miller, Chairman of the Board (1951-1977), Cummins Inc. From 1983 letter about diversity at the company.

CFP - The 2nd Annual IBM TJ Watson HCI Symposium
The 2nd Annual IBM TJ Watson HCI Symposium November 18, 2005
As We May Work: Advancing Social Technologies for the Distributed Enterprise
Call for Abstracts (Graduate Students Only)
The structure of organizations is being rapidly transformed: Increases in mobile workers, globally distributed teams, and federated enterprises are changing the environment in which we work. These and other factors disrupt workers' established means of knowing within the enterprise and create new challenges and opportunities for them. Social technologies offer means for evolving more suitable work practices that flexibly draw on distributed expertise. These include technologies that support interaction with known colleagues as well as technologies that seek to leverage the knowledge and expertise of strangers. This symposium seeks to provide rich and analytical descriptions of how these important advances are transforming enterprises, describe the technologies on which these advances rest, and prognosticate what trends will emerge in
unlocking the collaborative potential of enterprises.
Example topics:
Expertise brokers and connectors
Blogs and wikis for professional reputation creation and distribution of information
Technologies that enable more productive distributed work
Socially-aware code management systems
Social network visualization to compound social capital
Collaborative augmentation of Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) systems
Technologies to better support mobile workers
Technologies that better mobilize the collective intelligence of an enterprise
Participants
We are seeking contributions from currently matriculated graduate students, particularly those in departments of Human Computer Interaction, Computer Science, Management Science, Organizational Science, and Learning Sciences. Students are asked to submit an extended abstract (1000 words) describing their work, a current CV, and a supporting letter from their advisor. Students whose abstracts are accepted will be provided with
limited travel funds.
