- James Rising announces the Online Study Group:
Do you want to hear about online study groups being formed by members of the greater ESG community? Want to organize study groups with ESGers and alums alike?
I'm an ESGer from a few years back, and I'm making a mailing list for people interested in online study groups! This will be a low-traffic announcement list. Anyone can post an idea for an online study group, to find other people interested in joining.
To sign up, go to http://groups.google.com/group/osgs/subscribe !
What's an online study group?
Study groups are reading and discussion groups, research or project groups, and collective learning groups-- really any kind of seminar organically organized at ESG. By bringing them online, we can involve ESG alums from everywhere.
What kind of groups will be formed?
Anything goes! To start, I'm going to propose four online study groups:
* Grand Old Works of Philosophy Reading Group: for discussing Heidegger's Being and Time, and then other works
* Writers Anonymous Group: for anyone who wants to improve their writing by giving feedback
* "But What Can I Do?" Green Research Group: to explore how to live for a better world without losing time/money
* Building A New Just Economy Project Group: to build a website that forms a new economy of passion and justice
