Lessons from 2019 Instantiation

 * Deciding on book/s needs to happen earlier so that we can get the word out and folks can plan
 * Intersecting reading choices and discussion leaders earlier would also be helpful

Structural Ideas from Post-Summer 2019

 * Part of a broader "Samba school" program that CDSC might operate as over each summer?
 * What is the periodicity of the STC? 3 years? 4 years?

Reading Ideas From 2019 Planning

 * Axelrod's wikipedia:The Evolution of Cooperation. A more controversial suggestion would be Kropotkin's wikipedia:Mutual Aid: A Factor of Evolution —m a k o ๛ 
 * Claude Shannon (or at least someone else's summary of information theory) Aaronshaw (talk) 16:38, 7 May 2019 (EDT)
 * Hayek (on information) Aaronshaw (talk) 16:39, 7 May 2019 (EDT)
 * If we want to read something ecological I would pick "organizations evolving" by Reuf and Aldrich. It may be a bit too high level and its kind of a textbook. I'd also be excited to do Marx, Weber, Durkheim. Another idea for a social theory book is "Constructing Social Theories" by Stinchcomb. Groceryheist (talk) 18:24, 5 June 2019 (EDT)
 * Giddens, A. (1984). The constitution of society: outline of the theory of structuration. University of California Press.
 * Something by Wanda Orlikowski Sneha (talk) 11:49, 6 June 2019 (EDT)
 * Jo Freeman's Tyranny of Structurelessness Sneha (talk) 11:49, 6 June 2019 (EDT) (this is very short and important! there's no excuse not to do it —m a k o ๛  20:44, 5 June 2020 (CEST))
 * Jessica Nembhard's Collective Courage: A History of African American Cooperative Economic Thought and Practice Sneha (talk) 11:49, 6 June 2019 (EDT)
 * Francesa Polletta's Freedom is an Endless Meeting Sneha (talk) 11:49, 6 June 2019 (EDT) (This is a new classic and and I'd really like to do it. —m a k o ๛ )
