Virtual Conference - The Mary Parker Follett Network2024-03-29T11:05:01Zhttp://mpfollett.ning.com/forum/topics/virtual-conference?feed=yes&xn_auth=noThanks for sharing your paper…tag:mpfollett.ning.com,2014-03-05:3634948:Comment:286452014-03-05T17:12:33.010ZJeff Bedollahttp://mpfollett.ning.com/profile/JeffreyPaulJeffBedolla
<p>Thanks for sharing your paper. I remember learning about Mary Parker Follett near the beginning of my exploration of intellectual interests. I became immersed and, since I joined this Network, I am exploring the context of her life and thought.</p>

<p>Thanks for sharing your paper. I remember learning about Mary Parker Follett near the beginning of my exploration of intellectual interests. I became immersed and, since I joined this Network, I am exploring the context of her life and thought.</p>
<p>Entering into the spirit of a favorite author is a great help, I find. Joan Tonn's biography is great, and John Kaag's paper, which is also on this Network archive, I think was a breakthrough study for the Network. I think the biographical method is a very good way to develop sympathetic insight, as are the original works.</p>
<p>The paper you referenced on education is a very good one. Mary Follett wrote a paper titled "Expectant Attention" that is also very suggestive, and "Community is a Process" . Both papers are in the Network archive!</p>
<p>The difficulty with conferencing needs to be discussed. The challenge is staying within proper bounds, while stretching out and sharing. I suppose gathering these papers together is a plum waiting to be picked, but this brings up the issue of the complexity of the conferencing process. Active collaboration is the key to bringing out the plusvalents in a project; and so the principle of proper acknowledgement naturally follows. I think the Harvard Business School book disappointed for the reason of not having the advantage of Networking that we now have, if only we use it. </p>
<p>We'd have to communicate on this Network, openly, for this to work. Then a sub-committee could be officially created, through the Network Administration. I don't have access to the use of any of those social media platforms.</p>
<p>On the issue of adding women's voices, I have to laugh. Yesterday at the San Jose City Council meeting, I actually presented an opinion in Open Forum on the Women's Movement. There was an item on the Consent Calendar celebrating women in the military, called When Women Come Marching Home.</p>
<p>By the way, that's me at the Ansel Adams Wilderness, on a hiking trip in 2006.</p>

<p>Hi Jeff, I am new to this network and new to Mary PF, and astounded that I have not come across her before. </p>
<p>I teach Organisational Behaviour and wanted to add more women's voices to influences on OB.</p>
<p>Her writing on both management and education resonate strongly with me. </p>

<p>Back in my home state of Tasmania (Australia), I was involved in a Community of Practice for EfS = Educating for Sustainability. Interested people got together virtually and within a short time, set up special interest groups. With four other colleagues, we wrote a paper on our experience, presented a virtual paper at an international conference on sustainability in Japan, and had the paper published. The remarkable thing was that we came from different study areas- medicine, life sciences, geography and regional development, and based in four different locations. We had all met each other, but never all together face-to-face at the same time!</p>
<p>So collaboration across boundaries is possible to connect with like-minded individuals...who knows what might happen...adventure, yes!</p>

<p>Hi Joe,</p>
<p>Do you want to try an exchange? I think it's good to see where new developments might lead.</p>
