Message from Neil Mulholland re: workshop on 23 Jan.

Hi Sophia (L),

The students don’t need to bring anything with them. I will trigger a paragogic workshop for them to follow. It will run over 1hr. I’m not going to let them know what it is in advance, I just need them to show up and volunteer their participation. Will you be able to take part too? I’d be useful for me to know how many will be there so I can prep and scale the materials I will need to bring. Is it in JO3 (ESALA?)

At the end I will talk them through Paragogy and Para-academia by reflecting on what they have just done. They cannot prep for that, but the bibliography below is a useful guide to some of the practicalities I will be talking about.

Looking at the ‘Key Texts’ will be helpful for the group taking this course I think.

The other stuff takes them into more depth and provides examples of each para-approach in action. If they want more still, I can provide after the workshop.
