Hello all,
Many thanks for pulling all that together, David.
Hi Lisa -- really sorry for any confusion. We need to update the website fairly immediately. The Wednesday meeting is a bi-
weekly 'organisational' meeting that we've been having regularly for ages; there are dates for these on the website now that we agreed at
the big AGM in the spring. The Social Science Imagination course is running on Thursdays from 7-9 p.m. at Pathways Centre on Beaumont Fee,
and there will be informal gatherings and workshops available on Tuesdays or Wednesdays (e.g. one on the 17th on 'new ways of reading
newspapers'). There are also some Saturday workshops that are planned. We've only just got things really going, and there haven't been any
meetings outside meetings, only a short lull in which we don't have anyone looking after the website as diligently as we had before. I am
trying to finish a huge amount of work this evening for tomorrow, but will see if I can manage to do something with the online calendar
tonight...otherwise, tomorrow, or someone can perhaps beat me to it!
I agree with Alan that it would be great to get some online discussions going of some of the texts that people have been recommending.
Perhaps we can do that soon.
I will be at Pathways for the Social Science Imagination meeting on Thursday. I am teaching on Tuesdays until 6:00 p.m. so will not make all
of the informal gatherings. I will try to make the usual Wednesday meeting.
Hi Jess -- as a matter of fact, I think we do know a couple people working in Wales, though not sure whether North or South. Mike, do you
remember who it was that we met in Bristol? I will try to recover the names.
Wanted also to give a heads up and thanks to Megan, who has had some really interesting suggestions and who I'd like to chat to soon.
In haste and looking forward to seeing other people on the course on Thursday.
Best,
Sarah

> Dear all,
>
> As some of you know, I've only recently joined the SCC and at the moment
>
I am very confused indeed.
>
> According to the SSC Website, the meetings this week are on Wednesday
> (Pathways). However, this mailing list mentions meetings on Tuesdays,
> Wednesdays and Thursdays of this week. I can only attend one of these,
>
so can anyone elaborate on what these meetings are for?
>
> Many thanks,
> Lisa White
