Dear Sam,
I've done Skype and phone interviews with many colleagues' classes --
they're lots of fun (although Skype tends to be less reliable than the good
old phone line). I'd be happy to work with your online discussion group on
ritual theory.
And, um, I'm a bit embarassed to be referred to as a "classic" (#blush#).
Best,
Sabina
P.S. What do you mean, "Lady Possym" sounds funny???

Subject: [ACADEMIC-STUDY-MAGIC] On-line study groups?
Dear friends,
As I struggle with the disappointment from learning that I have not just
"met" one of my heroines (what next? discovering that the man three doors
down is not really Keith Richards? pshaw!), I have an academic related kind
of question.
After reading all of these interesting books for some years and not having
many people to talk with them about, I've pulled together an online
course/discussion group on ritual theory - running people through classics
like Turner and J.Z Smith, but also Catherine Bell and our own Sabina
Magliocco. I would very much prefer to meet in person to talk about these
books, but Skype it is, because of the distances involved.
What experiences have people had with co-ordinating or participating in
these distance education things? In this general field, particularly? I've
always shied away from "virtual covens" or ditance education (I'm too
verbal, maybe).
Best wishes,
Sam Wagar (Screaming Lord Sutch has already been taken!)
