On Friday I presented the first version of the WUSU mindmap to my colleagues from the Harvard Graduate School of Education. They were excited and had new ideas for us but also had plenty of questions and concerns. I’ve uploaded a new version of the mindmap that includes a “questions” section that comes from that conversation; there are also other additions scattered throughout.
I’ve also had the opportunity to meet two people who I think would be phenomenal advisors for Stay Up in the past week. The currents are flowing in our favor. The first was Lynn Clark, who is a Media Studies professor at CU in Boulder. She has expertise in ALL FOUR of the areas that I need help understanding: the music industry; the religious landscape of American youth; ethnographic research on media-saturated youth; and the dynamics of online communities of youth. She is very excited about the WUSU project and wants to stay in touch.
The second person was Bill Isaacs, who runs Dialogos, a firm based here in Boston. They are experts in facilitating dialogue. My professor Bob Kegan told me that Bill once ran a dialogue session with urban gang members and completely ended murder in a Massachusetts town after a couple months of work. He did a very cool exercise in our class on Monday that could be part of the Stay Up repertoire.
Very kewl project. I wish you great luck with it.
Keep in mind, no two people predictably mean the same thing when they say, “chair.” A term like “spirit” is even more difficult to pin down. Define your terms, all your terms, early and often. It helps keep people on the same page.
