An Introduction from the Sitting Room University
From the First of February One Thoresby Street will play host to a biweekly reading group hosted by the Sitting Room University. For details about the programme and how to get involved please see the message below from the SRU.
Dear all,
Greetings from The Sitting Room University, if you haven't already come across us we are an educational collective exploring the intersections between contemporary art, activism, critical pedagogy and social change (for further information please see our website). We are running a twelve week seminar-style reading and discussion group focusing on radical political philosophy at One Thoresby Street beginning Wednesday 1st of February at 7pm. The course entitled The 'Possibility of the Impossible' was devised by Matthew Cole from The White Square Society. It was originally held at the Arts Admin Studio in Toynbee Street, London, in collaboration with The Haircut Before The Party; following the success of the course and the strength of the reading list we thought it would be good to run The 'Possibility of the Impossible' here in Nottingham.
At each of the six two hour discussion groups we will try to address all of the texts on the list but obviously this will not always be possible so don't feel obliged to read everything (but if you do then great!); select one or two of the texts to read and engage with for each session. We are hoping that each of the sessions will be fully participatory as their success will depend upon explorative dialogue between all those present. This is not a 'taught course'. For further details and a chance to read Matthew Cole's introduction please see our website - you will also find .pdf copies of all the necessary texts for download here. Should there be any problems downloading etc. then they will also be available on the SRU's website. You will find a .pdf of the first week's reading attached to this e-mail and the rest of the texts will be available on a USB stick at the first and following sessions (we will also endeavour to provide hard copies too). If there are any problems there then please do not hesitate to e-mail us.
There is also a facebook event page: http://www.facebook.com/events/160123027431795/
Your participation would be warmly welcomed and very much appreciated. Equally, if there's anyone you think of that might be interested then pass the invitation on. Hope to see you there!
Kindest regards,
The Sitting Room University.
