Megaconference

[Eric Miller <>]

Dear Megaconference People,

Hello!

The recording of this past Friday's mutual Ethnographic 
Videoconference -- between high school students in 
Chennai (Tamil Nadu, south India), and Burlington 
(Wisconsin, USA) -- is at
http://youtu.be/Uyt7AgSYucY .

My notes about it all are at
http://www.storytellinginstitute.org/36.htm .

Ethnographic Videoconferences (a term I have coined

it seems) are videoconferences dedicated to researching 

and presenting material about cultures.  

An Ethnographic Videoconference is a public event if 

the videoconference is webcast publicly, and/or if the 

recording of the videoconference is accessible on 

Youtube or such -- both of which are the case 

regarding this event.

Many thanks to Reliance Communications for 

so kindly providing a videoconference facility in

Chennai for this videoconference, for webcasting 

the videoconference, and for recording the webcast

and making the recording available to us!

Just for general interest:

A couple of weeks ago, I gave the Inaugural Address at
the annual meeting of the Kanyakumari Academy of Arts
and Sciences. Kanyakumari is the southernmost district
of the southernmost state (Tamil Nadu) of India. 

The theme of the meeting was, "Multi-discipline Research", 
so I titled my address, "The Value of the Multi-Discipline 
Approach to Research". This address, in written form, is at
http://www.storytellinginstitute.org/28.pdf .

It might be good if people on this list might more often post 

links to their writings (especially about videoconferencing).

Best regards,
