Mail groups belong, of course, to their users - therefore, only thru use
do we belong?
Watching a documentary on Cromwell, I feel the need to call on the
democratic features of mail groups.
There would seem to be quite a number of PhD students (and former PhD
students) on the list.
What do these members feel they would like to find at such a site?
What do they feel they would like to talk about?
What assistance do they feel could be found here?
At the Ohio Conference there was talk about various universities sharing
students in formal ways - can this idea be extended to include a kind of
formal/semi-formal mentor role? Such a role would seem to help,
especially in areas of Design where there is little existing literature
and few experts to cover the field.
For example, I am prepared to be involved with PhD students, in formal
and informal ways, in the areas of :
Aesthetics
Poetics
Ethics
Pragmatics
Ancient Greek Philosophy to Aristotle
Kant to Heidegger (with special attention to aspects of Hegel)
USA Pragmatists (with special attention to Dewey)
Existentialism
Modernism to where ever (including Cartman's lament)
Any use in this stuff?
all the best
