Welcome to Reconcile Digest #24. I’m so glad you’re here.
Some of you know that during the Spring term, we ran some workshops titled the ‘radical research communication’ series. It was a huge success, as we gathered over 100 academics, researchers, and creatives in total to discuss how we might use our imagination, rebellion, dreams, play, and interdisciplinarity to bridge the gap between our research and the real world.
Today’s digest picks up on these themes, as we explore a classic book published in 1997 - The Ambiguity of Play by Brian Sutton-Smith. We added the full PDF of this book in our Reconcile Book library back in March, so you can download it there, or at the end of today’s digest.
Note: this is our first attempt to translate an entire book into a single digest. Let’s see how our translation, brevity and synthesis skills match up to this challenge. Let us know how we did!
