| | |
| | |
| '''Focus:''' Today we will form the Personal Reader reading groups based on your shared interests. In connection with your personal reader, I will introduce an annotated bibliography exercise which will lead you into your first reading group meeting. We will also be talking about how we write, why we write and the challenges we might face in this process. To address the latter, we will be doing a quick writing exercise to help with the separation of two acts: writing and editing. This should prepare you for our final activity: working on your first Projects That May or May Not Be Made (PMOMMs). With the PMOMMs, you will further explore the relationship between research and practice through self-reflexive writing (descriptions, analysis and contextualisation of your own practice), and working on quick prototypes.

| '''Annotated bibliography exercise:'''<br>
| |
| Pick 1 or 2 references (they are not fixed or set in stone, don't spend too much time picking the best references):
| |
| * Write a synopsis (even if you haven't read it yet)
| |
| * Why is this important to your research/work?
| |
| P.S.: Include contextualization on author's field and background + bonus: context of the text
| |
| | |
| '''Writing exercise:'''<br>
| |
| Is there a text you have been struggling with? Something you need to get out but just cannot find the courage to write? An application, a project proposal, a difficult essay? Then I propose you use that as fodder for this exercise: take 15 minutes to write this text. You cannot:
| |
| * Use punctuation
| |
| * Go back and edit your words
| |
| * Go back and delete or scratch your words
| |
| | |
| When the 15 minutes are over, save the text and close the window/fold your paper. You are only allowed to look at it again during our next class on May 6th. You will then be allowed to edit this text.

| == Week 4: 06-05-2026 - Collective PMOMMs ==
| |
| With Lídia!
| |
| | |
| '''Focus:''' We will start the day by focusing on small group discussions of key texts: together with your Personal Reader reading group you will discuss the text you have selected last time. In the afternoon, you will continue working on your PMOMMs; this time, however, we will be focusing on the writing of collective PMOMMs in small groups. As a bridge between the two activities, we will shortly return to last session's writing exercise for the long-awaited editing moment.

| == Week 6: 20-05-2026 - Personal Reader and References ==
| |
| With Marloes!
| |
| | |
| Reading:
| |
| McKitrick, K., (2021). Footnotes (books and papers scattered about the floor), in: Dear Science and other stories.
| |
| | |
| '''Focus''' Today we'll focus on the technicalities and politics of referencing && developing your personal reader. Why use a referencing system and how do you apply it? Since knowledge never falls from the sky and always has a long history with people learning from people who learned from people, how deep and wide should you reference to do justice to this? How can you work with references in a way that doesn't reproduce patriarchal and colonial patterns (''does a reference section have borders???'')?

'''2)''' again take 15 - 20 minutes per person to present your personal reader to your reading group, and take a moment to discuss with each other how these readings connect to the PMOMM and which ☀️🌴 summer reading 🌴☀️ could be inspiring.
