[SSC] Next SSC meeting - 29 June, 12-2

Sat Jun 15 20:58:38 UTC 2013

Hello everyone,

As so many of us couldn't make it to the meeting today, and there is a 
lot going on, let's plan another on Saturday, June 29th from 12-2pm. I 
will arrange a place, update the calendar and announce here as well. If 
anyone has childcare or other particularities affecting ability to 
participate, please let me know.

Has anyone gotten back to Alan (below) yet?

James, I think this is an excellent idea, and the reports on the blog 
are so provocative and exciting. I have a couple of ideas already. I am 
struggling with some work on 'possibility-enabling practices' and would 
love to build an enquiry machine with others as part of this. I think we 
need another thinking space for this; could we meet up with all those 
interested in this particular project -- James, can you organise that? 
We apparently also now have a site on Facebook, which I just saw 
(https://www.facebook.com/SocialScienceCentreLincoln?fref=ts) and could 
use it to help organise as well.

Best wishes,
Sarah
