[SSC] FW: One day event - work plan for year ahead

[Richard Hall]

Thanks for this, Mike.

 

Alas, I can't make either date.

 

The issues around the curriculum and power are, for me, critical in
enabling the SSC to move on.

 

Best wishes,

 

Richard.

________________________________



Dear All,
 
I would like to suggest that we all meet up for a one day event to be
held in Lincoln in early September, either 3rd of the 10th.
 
The meeting is open to all who have registered as members of the Social
Science Centre Co-operative or who have registered an interest. This
includes those based within Lincoln and elsewhere. 
 
The purpose for the event would be to set a work plan for the next
twelve months: working towards a day when the Social Science Centre
would start teaching students.
 
There is a general indication from informal discussions that the Social
Science Centre would open in October 2012. This needs to be formally
agreed.
 
The agenda for the one day event has been generated from other events
held by the SSC and from formal and informal discussions. It includes:
 
 
Curriculum, including Pedagogy
 
Quality and Peer Review
 
Areas of responsibility: work groups
 
Recruiting students 
  
Power and consensus decision making within the SSC 

Comments and suggestions for this agenda are welcome. Please send to the
SSC discussion list: ssc at lists.aktivix.org introducing yourself if you
haven't already.
 
The venue of the day has yet to be decided, although it could be in the
Croft Street Community Centre, Lincoln, where we held our Consensus
Decision Making workshop. The format is also up for grabs. All
suggestions welcome.
 
We might want to invite Jonathan Rose to give a talk. He is the author
of a seminal book: 'The Intellectual Lives of the British Working
Classes', published by Yale in 2001. The book got a very good review
from A C Grayling.  All other suggestions for speakers also welcome.
 
Best wishes,
 
Mike
