CPSR Working Papers is a project launched in May, 2005  to publish a series of provocative, in-depth contributions to public thinking around computer-related issues, and to continue CPSR's historic role as a vibrant source of progressive thinking. While submissions should fall within CPSR's progressive approach to its mission, CPSR Working Papers reflect the views of individual members and are intended to stimulate discussion and provoke new thinking, rather than represent fully developed CPSR positions.
