Communication and language

 On Sunday we had a robust discussion about communication. There were many ideas that people have suggested they will write about on their own blogs to continue the conversation. I have written about communication in a couple of articles. Helen and I also wrote a chapter together about communication in the creative process called 'In-the-Between-ness: Decolonising and re-inhabiting our dancing.'  I love the following quote from John dewey which sums up my perspective - 

'The Heart of language is not "expression" of something antecedent, much less expression "of antecedent thought". It is communication; the establishment of cooperation in an activity in which there are partners' - John Dewey Experience and Nature p. 179 

Looking forward to seeing your thoughts, in the comments below. 

Student Voice for the coming year

As you know Stella is Module Three and will be moving on from the course in January. She has done a wonderful job of holding a space for the Students Voice role. She has written a blog about the role. We are now looking for the people from each module to take the role of Student Voice leader.
