Information List serving CASTAC

This is the official welcome message for the CASTAC-L listserver, serving the community of anthropologists interested in science, technology, medicine and computing. I'm Joe Dumit, the current moderator of this list, located at dumit@mit.edu

The primary purpose of this list is to disseminate information on panels, conferences, interest groups, projects, etc., related to sci-tech anthro. Another purpose is to introduce ourselves to each other, and to plot our futures.

This is a moderated list, meaning that all messages are bounced to me for approval before going out to the rest of the list. My function is primarily to intercept messages not meant for general distribution (e.g. personal messages, test messages). I will also add subject lines to messages, all beginning with CASTAC: so that you can recognize/sort them easily. If there are a bunch of very short messages, I may string them together to help cut down on mailbox clutter.
