What is project groupwork?

We have invited a number of guests to play the role of ‘wayfinders’ or 'midwives'. Their job is to provide a range of resources for learning: to give lectures, to hold workshops, to promote discussion and reflection, to clarify methods, and to illustrate analysis. Following the first two days of keynote lectures and workshops by the invited guests, which will establish a common framework, group project work will begin.Groupwork

Each project group will work on a set of problems that are to be decided by the groups themselves, which may or may not be derived from the lectures and workshops on the first two days. Furthermore, the wayfinders are assigned to work with a specific thematic group on each of days 3, 4 and 5. We trust that the pairings of wayfinders from different disciplinary backgrounds generates novel ideas and fruitful challenges that benefit the problem-based learning. The afternoon of day 4 is free. Optional activities for the guests and participants will be arranged. On the last day, all groups come together to report on their findings, solutions and applications, with commentary and discussion from the wayfinders.

The poster session on the first day is for those who wish to present their research publicly.

Lectures

Each guest will give a one hour lecture on their research as it concerns the themes of the summer school.

Workshops

Each guest will give a two hour workshop. To facilitate interdisciplinary and dialogue the workshops by each guest will be responded to by one other guest and a member of the collective.

Recommended readings for each guest are online, as well as a general bibliography relevant to the themes of summer school

Here is a schematic diagram of the relationship between the lectures and the workshops, as well as who leads the lecture/workshop and who will act as respondent and facilitator for each workshop.
