Like all years, today is April Fool’s Day; but my reflections are no less random:

Dr Jin Yang (UNESCO Institute for Lifelong Learning [UIL]) led this seminar at the Dumfries University of Glasgow Crichton Campus in the CR&DALL Seminar Series 2012/13 with Peter Kearns and Dr Roberta Piazza (University of Catania) as respondents.

At The Atlantic Cities (Place Matters), Richard Florida has been sharing reports on class divides across America's largest cities and metros.  These reports examine the residential locations of today's three major classes: the shrinking middle of blue-collar workers; the rising ranks of the knowledge, professional, and creative class; and the even larger and faster-growing ranks of lower-paid, service workers, using detailed data from the American Community Survey.

This brainstorm in the CR&DALL seminar series at the University of Glasgow was held in collaboration with the Adam Smith Research Foundation on 26 March 2013.  Peter Kearns led the session with Dr Roberta Piazza and Professor Norman Longworth as respondents.

I've hardly ever seen anyone make a comment on the PASCAL website.  I find this disheartening -- and I implicate myself (although I've replied a couple of times).  When an organization exists to stimulate "community engagement" but ends up being chockfull of folks who DO NOT engage with each other it is time to see some provocation.  

Consider yourself provoked!
