Well, my word, things are buzzing arn't they? I see my 'provocation' which I was quick to point out to Mary was an inappropriate term in this necessary work - I prefer 'tease out', 'excite', even 'demand' where necessary, reaction and response to some very necessary questions - has had some effect. You've all been busy talking among yourselves and forming groups. Great ideas. Carry on. I'll take a look at what you've come up with and get back to you. Susan? I think one of the lads has been playing a little trick? You know who you are. I see one member asked whether there were other lists like AoIR. No, Jason there are not. Jeremy, you seem to have taken on the role of 'bouncer' in this setting, could you lock the door to make sure that no-one escapes? But please at the same time prepare to admit new members. There may be a few coming along shortly. I've been in touch with some friends about developing an 8 credit course along transition education and community education lines for those among you unfamiliar with the history, development and contemporary direction of the subjects of cultural studies. I'll let you all know how this goes.
