[ELECTRON] May Reshuffle: Are we being served? Science Ecology and the Common Good + RiB at CCA

[Bob]

(Theme) Science Ecology and the Common Good

Pre-election Reshuffle 29 May 2010 Pearce Institute.


"I think studying science is a good way to get into fields like history.
The reason is, you learn what an argument means, you learn what evidence
is, you learn what makes sense to postulate and when, what's going to be
convincing. You internalize the modes of rational inquiry, which happen to
be much more advanced in the sciences than anywhere else. On the other
hand, applying relativity theory to history isn't going to get you
anywhere. So it's a mode of thinking." Noam Chomsky


We will not be applying relativity theory to history - But we will be
studying modes of thinking. Science Ecology and the Common Good -
Workshops, speakers on  science, climate change, community organising and
the Common Good. Yes of course there will be tons of stuff for the kids -
Glasgow Science Fair will be in full tilt as well as local groups.

Ideas, suggestions for speakers, workshops welcome.
Updates later
