Public Office Space in the EC

My new office on 3rd.








Hey folks, my name is Sean Park, an MA student in TPS. Over the next few months I will be writing my thesis and have decided to spend some of the time writing in the hallways of the education commons. The EC, while full of very interesting people, a computer lab and wireless access, is not exactly a common area. So I pulled myself out of the dark recesses of an office and placed myself in the commons. I work on a crusty purple couch as people walk up and down the hallway towards purposes I can only usually guess.

I'm interested in random, yet connected conversations. There are patterns that emerge from these kinds of conversations and sitting at the right place (doesn't matter what time) helps me listen to what those patterns might be saying. This is the wonder of public space.

Stop by my office or send me somethign to post here (sean.park@learnlink.mcmaster.ca).
Perhaps I can interview you as a citizen of the commons.

Peace

sean

You need to start sucking in your hair more efficiently. I'm disappointed...
