FA- Heard that Chistine Bourland is interested in doing the symposium
JH- Spoke with Kristina Brown who also voiced interest and availability. We must think about moving symposium back one hour.
FA-Haven’t heard back from research office about revised proposal, Barfield might be out of town this week.
JH- I want to check a few things… next week you are independent research and planning…
JF-Did we want to spend this time composing rough drafts of the letters.
All: Ok
JH- I don’t know whether you could take the TBD panel members…let me read this…(working on letter wording)…
FA- So that’s the letter, if they respond in the positive, we can write back with questions of structure.
T- How should we respond? Should we respond together? Have something formal?
FA-Maybe we should abstract, technique, thank you for participating?
L-A brief outline of what you think your presentation will be?
FA_ is there anything you want us to include in your bio/? Should we write a bio on them and send them to ask for confirmation?
JH- Right, that might be a way, and if they don’t like it, you can change it
L- Response letter, a thank you, a brief outline request, technical needs, stateing an intro and if there is anything they want to be included to please let us know
JH- Obviously the bio you can use in the sort of print, the brochure thing at the symposium, that’s something else in place. Fine. Next week you can work on that you might even have got 4 responses back and we can do what we need in relation to planning.
FA- We have a break, it might be worthwhile to do a brainstorm for all the things we need to do before symposium.
JH- May be we have to have some discussion the week before, April 9th, the actual day.
FA-I would propose we have a super clear idea of everything that needs to happen and allocate tasks.
L-For printing and publicity esp.
FA-I’ve started making post-it notes, if we could all bring a list, we will know everything that needs to happen.
JH-I’ve got all your email address, or if could be another day of that week. Could always do it in a coffee shop.
Actually, yeah, so next week we should get the timetable done, the following week I mean.
FA-So right before Easter break.
JH-Main thing, if worst comes to worst and ross can’t do it you’ve still got three potential speakers. Doesn’t always work out that way, obviously somebody is looking down on you. Sue brought this in, I forgot why its been put together, a list of whats on right now in Glasgow, mainly for the other group….but they are not hovering around, they have to go hunting.
FA- I book four places for tomorrow night at common guild.
JF- Great. Thanks.
LW- Not sure what was on the list of what else we were supposed to speak about today.
JH-Confirmation of speakers, and we’ve done that….
JF-I wouldn’t mind to check my draft for Katrina Brown with you all
All-Yes
FA-Also, to check the introduction to the speaker in draft before we say it at the symposium
JH-Also, this show that Katrina has done might be an interesting point of discussion…
LW-Right.
JH: that book sounds like it might be a useful resource
Barrett, E. et al. (2007) Introduction. Practice as Research.Approaches to Creative Arts Enquiry. Published by I.B.Tauris and Co. Ltd. London and New York.
This should be in the research log with quotes. What writings do they have that exposes research methodologies.
Listen to the speakers and reference in your log.
You need to sharpen up your thoughts n why you have included particular issues
All of that thinking can go in the log. Course you will draw on it from the essay. Simple essay, not too may large words. Heheh
L:No Jargon.
