First Spring Meeting 2017

Plans are to meet at the TTU Barnes & Noble Starbuck's from 11-11:50 on Wednesday, Feb. 1 to discuss Managing Cultural Differences Chapter 9: Global Teams and Global Leadership.

Due to some schedule changes, we will need to find a new regular meeting time. (Our original plans of Tuesdays 12-1 won't work for me. I'm terribly sorry.) Perhaps when we meet this week, we can discuss a new meeting time.

I will also be presenting information about the Benjamin A. Gilman scholarship at the TTU Study Abroad Fair in the SUB Ballroom from 12-3 tomorrow. I hope you will find some time to swing by!

See you soon!
Brandy

Spring 2017 pre-discussion and schedule

Upcoming dates and pre-planning: We resume classes on January 19, 2017 (one day before the Presidential inauguration). Do you all have your spring course schedules? Do Tuesdays at 12:30 still work? Are we still interested in moving the discussion into digital humanities? I think it's an excellent extension of the topics we've covered in our reading group along with the elements of the presidential election. Are we covering too much or too little in this reading group? Let's discuss this on Tuesday!

A tentative schedule might look like this:
January 24: Managing Cultural Differences, Chapter 9 Global Teams
February 7: Managing Cultural Differences, Chapter 13 Doing Business with Asians & Chapter 16 Doing Business with Americans
February 14: Doing Digital Humanities, Introduction and Foundations
February 21: Doing Digital Humanities, Chapter 2 Global Outlooks in Digital Humanities
March 7: Doing Digital Humanities, Chapter 3 Problems with White Feminism
March 21: No meeting. Brandy and Rich will be at a conference out of town
April 4: Doing Digital Humanities, Chapter 4 Toward Best Practices in Collaborative Online Knowledge Production
April 18: Doing Digital Humanities, Chapter 5 Understanding the Pre-digital Book
May 2: Doing Digital Humanities, Chapter 7 Augmented Reality
