Social Paper is a non-proprietary socialized writing environment developed by and for The CUNY Academic Commons.  First envisioned by Graduate Center students as part of the Interactive Technology and Pedagogy program, Social Paper’s development has been made possible by a National Endowment for the Humanities Digital Start-Up Grant and a CUNY Advance Grant. Social Paper’s introduction at the GC is part of an ongoing student initiative that aims to create a durable student commons that transcends institutions.
