[SSC] some thoughts

[Joss Winn]

One possibility for the 'reflexive journals' is that people use the SSC website blog for that purpose. It's available if you wish to publish from it. 

If you wish to be added as an author, please let me know (joss at josswinn.org)

To this end, can I suggest that we discuss the possibility of voice recording our meetings so that it might be possible to analyse the processes by which we are working together—and dealing with challenges as and when they arrive--so that we can develop these processes more effectively in future and share our insights with others trying to set up similar projects? This would of course need consent from all. Second, whether or not people feel comfortable with voice recordings,  might some of us begin to create reflexive journals on the process itself and its impact on other aspects of our lives? I ask this because I am beginning to see that the thinking that we are doing together is helping me realise how limiting the current HE system is and how my contribution to the SSC stems from the strategies that I have been developing to cope with and seek to transform this system.  My pleasure with our work comes partly from recognising that we are  engaged in a process of creating  powerful alternative ontologies and epistemologies of and for all aspects of the university as a process.  Thus our re-imagining and reconstructing (or as Mike said elsewhere), 'reinventing' the social sciences through thinking collectively, collaboratively, respectfully, and learning from and with others who are at least in some ways likeminded, fills me with pleasure, delight and energy.  I think it would be interesting to explore what we are bringing to and getting from this process as these factors are crucial to understanding what we are engaged in creating.
