Dear List,
I've been impressed by the dizzying array of postings vis a vis
networks and collaboration but I've also been struck by the singularly
abstract nature of many of these postings. I wonder if some of the list
members who have actually organized collaborations, even those
involving face-to-face contact, might provide some concrete
descriptions of how these collaborations were staged, what problems
they encountered, and how they resolved (or didn't resolve) them? How
do you evaluate the success or failure of these interactions? How do
they transform the consciousness and perceptions of their participants?
It might give some substance or context to the otherwise technocratic
language that has predominated thus far.
Best wishes,
Grant
