Sunday Discussion Group

 A reminder that we have our next Sunday Discussion Group today 

Sunday November 27, 1900 (GMT)


The focus of the discussion is 'Communicating your Ideas' which is critical to consider as you approach the submission of work - the communication of your ideas - at the end of each module. 

This session is particularly helpful for those in module three, as you consider the three modes through which you will be communicating your inquiry process


Please make every effort to be a part of this conversation!

CANCELLED SESSION "THEORY AND PRACTICE"

Apologies we need to cancel the scheduled session today at short notice

Theory and Practice at 1800 (GMT)


I am sharing instead this wonderful TEDTalk from Writer Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie (again) for those who have not encountered her work before, for those who have, a reminder to catch yourself from falling into the trap of (re)telling a single story...


 

Give this some thought as you prepare your work for submissions, across all modules, look at the assumptions you make, the scholars and artists you draw on, the stories you tell in doing so.
