Hello fellow environment and tech readers,<br>
<br>
Greetings from a summery Amsterdam. <br>
<br>
On the 10th September we will restart the bi-weekly environment
and tech reading group. This time we will try something new! We
want to start engaging with each others writing. Are you working
on or have your published a writing and want to share and discuss
it with the rest of the group, let us know! Write me or the list
serve an email and we will include your piece in the reading group
syllabus. <br>
<b><br>
</b><b>Engaging with each others work</b><br>
Sharing works in progress can feel daunting at time, so we want
these session to be constructive. As an author you can use the
reading group session to ask for feedback on specific
parts/aspects of your writing. <br>
<br>
We will start these session with a small introduction, where you
as an author can give context about the paper. Why did you write
this paper, what was the jump off point, the constraints etc.
Afterwards we will proceed by talking about main argument and look
at each specific section. <br>
<br>
Feedback guidelines:
<ul>
<li>Don’t be an asshole 😀</li>
<li>Give constructive feedback (not only point out what doesn’t
work, but make suggestions for improvement)</li>
<li>Share ideas of where to take the piece (f.ex. If it hasn’t
been published)</li>
</ul>
<b><br>
</b><br>
<b>Readings </b><br>
After the summer we will take a break from collectively reading a
book and alternate between readings our own writings and reading
the following articles and reports: <br>
