I like this idea very much. It might draw some who are unfamiliar with SFPJ and will, as you say, give more people a chance to discuss their concerns.

Thanks!

Colleagues,

While mulling over possibilities for SFPJ's contribution to the UWEC community this year, an idea came to me that I want to run past you. I welcome responses/discussion on the list serve, of course, and hope this will also provide some material for next week's meeting.

Here goes:

SFPJ sponsors a series of talks throughout the academic year-- brownbag luncheons? At these, a different speaker/speakers would be featured each time but the continuing general topic would be "The World I'd Like To See, and What We Need to Get There." Some might approach this from a disciplinary perspective--say, an enlightened shift in economics, or an environmentally conscientious approach to chemistry, that would make a better world. Others might speak from community work they are invested in. Perhaps SFPJ would want, sometimes, to co-sponsor one of these with another organization or office on campus-or from the Eau Claire community.

What I like about the idea is that it approaches problems positively; I also like the fact that it would let so many different people speak to their particular concerns and from their particular experiences and abilities. Additionally, it would be less work all at once than a teach-in (not that I'm saying teach-ins are a bad idea!) AND would provide a regular infusion of SFPJ's presence/ideas throughout the academic year.

Heck-we could even use some of the goals of the baccalaureate degree to focus!

Thanks for considering this.

In hope, Kate
