[SSC] Representation

[David McAleavey]

Dear All,

I agree with Joss that we should respond positively to the invitation, and
I think we should involve the other FUN programmes asap by inviting them to
comment ahead of the researcher contacting them, as they might value the
opportunity to reflect on their position about being in public, their
relation to the SSC, the BBC, their respective 'day jobs'... before the BBC
email appears in their respective inboxes... I thought Edwin's reflections
last night on the feeling of being bounced (and in Edwin's case learning
how to resist!) into the media's time frames/game was a valuable one.

Gosh, that is a clumsy paragraph!

My feeling is that a student scholar, and a teaching scholar, should
represent us (the SSC) whenever possible; and on this occasion (an
establishing item/feature on the BBC about Socially Engaged Education
Practice), an active member(s) from one of the parallel programmes MUST be
included. We (the SSC) will insist!

So, to all SSC Scholars... any volunteers?


Respectfully yours,

David

PS

Joss, I will share the mail bag!


So, 'who' are 'we'?
