[Environment-readinggroup] restarting after summer - share your own writing with the group

[Fieke]

Hello fellow environment and tech readers,

Greetings from a summery Amsterdam.

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.
*
**Engaging with each others work*
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.

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.

Feedback guidelines:

  * Don’t be an asshole 😀
  * Give constructive feedback (not only point out what doesn’t work,
    but make suggestions for improvement)
  * Share ideas of where to take the piece (f.ex. If it hasn’t been
    published)

*

*Readings *
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:

  * The compost engineers and sus saberes lentos: a manifest for
    regenerative technologies

  * What might degrowth computing look like?
