[SSC] SSC Digest, Vol 14, Issue 8 (Scholar expression of interest)

Sun Feb 5 21:03:34 UTC 2012

Thanks for sending this through, Sandie - it looks good. 

Following our discussion about this at yesterday's meeting, I checked the site re: data protection and we do already have a note about this there (http://socialsciencecentre.org.uk/join/). 

I also noticed that the online form follows broadly the same format as the one we are calling the expression of interest, but is framed as a form for becoming a member of the Centre rather than applying to study, which seemed to be the direction of yesterday's discussion. People wanting to join initially as students can select an 'academic' membership there, as can academics who want to join -- the distinguishing point being whether they want to be actively involved in running the Centre in any capacity or rather have an Associate membership. In both cases, the inviation join a centre to 'be part of a unique experiment in higher education'. This is very much in the spirit of the Centre's objectives, and I think the new version of the paper form communicates that as well. I just wanted to call attention back to the one that we all filled out on the website and ask whether others feel our discussions about students yesterday reflected that spirit of cooperative membership, or trended towards something more hierarchical?  

Best wishes,
Sarah

Hi all

Following our discussion yesterday, I have redesigned the scholar 'expression of interest' form, to reflect our thinking that it should not look like a UCAS form, should allow for some creativity, and regarding personal details, require only name and contact address/ email.  Any thoughts welcome: it's not perfect yet, but I think we could work with it.  I have suggested it is submitted by 31st March - is this allowing enough time?

I also booked Croft St Community Centre for the next Saturday meeting, 17th March, 12 noon - 4pm again.  I assume we can use Mint St for the Feb 15th evening meeting?  Has someone checked this?

Sandie
