2.1.2 RUN A READING GROUP

Invite faculty and students to meet once a week or once a month to read and discuss papers on a research topic of interest. The topic could be an established problem in which there is fresh progress, or something emerging and hot. Generate a discussion to choose the paper and moderator for each meeting. Announce the meetings by email, Facebook, or website, and invite relevant experts from on-campus and off.

An effective strategy is to have a leader for each reading group introduce the paper, invite discussion, and ask provocative questions. Try to have every attendee make at least one comment before anyone makes a second comment. Move the discussion forward from comments on the paper to suggestions of its implications for your attendees.

For example: How might it change research? What did the authors fail to do? What new directions does their work open up?

Afterward, your group might write a short summary of the discussion, along with a few interesting questions for the author of the paper, so as to start a dialog. This might lead to an invitation to visit campus. Sending the summary to those who could not attend keeps your community moving forward in a coordinated way.
