Hi Mike,
Thanks for the suggestion. Can you post a link to our group’s
website? <http://www.lta.education.manchester.ac.uk/ScTIG/index.htm>
Item 8 (current
activities) lists the dates of our meetings (yes, they will be in UK and times
are BST/GMT) and gives a link to a Word document with a list of the readings.
As for distributing the readings, we are sending around hard copies. I haven’t
gotten the readings online yet and expect to have difficulty with
copyrights on
most of them. Do you have a way around that?
The discussions are to take place in Manchester, but I think it would be great
if we could get a follow-up discussion to take place on this listserv.
Post-seminar discussion, I can send around to the xmca list a snapshot of the
discussion and some key issues and questions brought up. In general,
this would
be the day after each seminar session. I would plan to post it on a day when I
could check on the discussion throughout the evening (given the international
time differences).
Let me know if this is not appropriate use of this listserv (I’m new). If
there are no objections to this proposal, I’ll add a link from our group’s
website to the xmca website and invite more people to join the online
discussion forum (which would include a thread that follows the seminar
series).
Best wishes,
Valerie
