[SSC] Representation

[Michael Neary]

Dear All,
I agree that we should respond positively to this request from the BBC Breakfast show.  Notwithstanding all of our concerns about how we represent ourselves and how we might be represented in the Media, it is important that forms of resistance to Government policy are given serious consideration on national news.
Following on from David Mc's suggestions, I look forward to discussing this with all of you next week when i get back from Toronto.
Best wishes,
Mike

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'?

Dear all,
I have received this invite from the BBC Breakfast team (see below).
Given the discussion yesterday about how we represent ourselves to the

media, how would you like us to proceed?
Would someone offer themselves to be interviewed and filmed?
Bestest,
Richard

Dear Professor Keeble,




I read recently, on the BBC Lincolnshire website, about your plans to
start a free university, offering courses to students who will struggle
with the high tuition fees coming in this year.




I work with Chris Buckler, UK Affairs Correspondent for BBC News. I'd be
interested in some more information about your plans, with a view to
offering BBC Breakfast a piece, featuring some filming and an interview

with you. The report also mentioned that you'd been to a conference in
Birmingham recently, where you'd heard of others planning something
similar to yourself...which I'd also be interested in any details on.




Many thanks for any help you can offer,



Best wishes,



Claire
