Contributor

(aka Adversary)

What

You are someone who:

  • Wants to spend some time really deeply understanding a topic
  • Has a strong opinion about it already, formed from the zeitgeist or your previous research
  • Is willing to work with a partner or partners who disagree with you

How

  1. Let us know that you're interested, and what topics you're interested in working on.
  2. We will ask you some questions to determine who you would best be set to work with.
  3. An Adversary Coordinator will connect you with a partner or partners.
  4. You'll research the topic, read the research that your partners and the Research Assistant find, seek to understand the topic as well as possible.
  5. You'll discuss with your partners until you reach conclusions that you can agree on.
  6. You'll write those down as a paper, working with the Editor

FAQ

Who do I ask ...?

All questions should be directed to your Adversary Coordinator.

How much time will this require?

That's one of our questions for you! In general, we see this as a compatibility issue, not a hard requirement. Someone who puts in a few hours a month won't work well, probably, with someone who puts in a few hours a day. But there's no reason a few hours a month, or a burst of a few days at the end of every semester, or any other schedule can't work, as long as the partners are aligned.
