Katharine Ellis has very kindly made available a room courtesy of the IMR, and we shall be meeting at 2.30pm on Wednesday, June 10^th, in Room ST274/5 (Stewart House/32 Russell Square). Past meetings have focused on matters of theory – what I’d like to do with this meeting is to focus on a specific track, namely Prince’s ‘When Doves Cry’, and ask participants to come along willing to talk about the methodology/ies they would apply to consideration of that track, and with what particular end in view. (I know there’s more than one issue of the recording available – choose whichever you will.)

If you are intending to come, I’d appreciate a quick email, just so that we get a sense of how many to expect. And, as ever, feel free to pass this on to colleagues who may like to attend.

Hi all,

Here’s our first blog page – a little later than promised, but it’s here. We’re using the edublogs/Wordpress engine, which supports most of the standard blogging tools, and (most importantly) allows us to post of audio for discussion.

Over to you!

Joe (the mod).
