I hope to learn more about different perspectives on meetings and to get an overview of this emerging field. I also hope to connect with other researchers in the field.
Is there a problem to comparatively study meetings when so many disciplinary fields are represented?
*How can we (as a group of meeting expert gathered here at GMSS) benefit from the fact that we are all physically present and able to work together?
If we are studying meetings, why would interdisciplinarity pose any significant problem?
If we develop contributions back to particular disciplines having adopted a multi-disciplinary perspective when considering meetings, then we (individually) may be challenged to reflect the full context that contributed to our insights. But multi-disciplinary inputs would hopefully significantly add to our understanding of meetings as a phenomenon in their own right.
Are the muffins healthy?
and the coffee?
When was a muffin ever healthy?
coffee is good ,but muffins too much sugar!
If they make you happy.
Might we have time to talk specifically with people who take similar epistemological approaches to us, as well as different time to talk “across” approaches?
good idea
How can we define and develop the field during this time so that there are clear ways to move forward with one another?
Can we ask less and comment more?
Can we stop at question 124?
I mean comment on the questions…
or even comment on a comment…
Yes, please

Like this?
are we going to sit on the same chairs at the same table during the GMSS?
I think Christoph has thought of moving us around in different settings. Laptops are mobile, so we should manage.
You are not a tree, you can move.
can we make a wordcloud at the end of this exercise?
