By the way! This reading group is modeled on the format of the Postqualitative Research Collective’s Slow reading group. If you’re interested in reading Meeting the Universe Halfway, I recommend it:

postqualitativeresearch.com/upcoming-eve...

If you can't make it but are interested, I may be posting audio recordings of the meetings in our shared Zotero library (which also has our main reading, and associated things that come up each week). The poll will stay open if you want to submit your email to get an invitation to our Zotero library

Starting this week, we will be meeting Thursdays at 10:00am EST (GMT-5). If you’re interested in relational ontology, and either work in STEM Education or don’t mind being with those who do: DM for a link!

Currently, we’re reading Astrid Schrader’s 2010 paper on Pfiesteria piscicida—out loud, talking about our thoughts as they emerge. We left off at the end of page 283, but you will not be behind if you show up and have not read much or any of it!

Me, strengths maxxing my chocolate vitamin chews over here

So far we're planning on Tuesdays 11am Eastern US timezone, but feel free (anyone) to DM with questions or with your interests and your email address—and I can share the zoom link and/or an invite to our zotero library

We’ll also be paying attention for other ideas and literature that feel like they hit a similar spot but may be coming from a different direction.

Reach out if you’re interested!

It’s going to be a no-homework, no-commitment-to-show-up, no-prerequisite reading group influenced by Slow scholarship: we’ll read a text out loud over zoom and talk about it.
