Yes, there were the life triangles which were used as a rationale for the cultural curriculum. I just have never heard where / how that came to be -- in Texas, or Illinois??

Jim, et al:
I gathered up my courage to
climb into my archives above the stairway and delved into the Academy notes that
Beverly and I took 1971 and 1973.
Now that I've re-read your email
to note your interest in "Sociology and History," I may have to take that
dangerous climb again. However, the "Science and Philosophy" (CS IIC) was
deeply involved in the Social Process triangles.
Math -- Sense pole and theoretics of science;
Physics -- Knowing pole and the natural/nature of science; Biology -- Being
pole, the humanization of science. Brian made note that "Philosophy" was
examining the relationship between what we Know, Sense and Be.
Philosophy is constructed of
"meta-bilt" master picture--sense pole; Analytical phil--knowing pole;
Existential phil -- Being pole.
We studied Lore Eisley, "How
Natural is Natural?"
Kuhn: New Paradigms for
Old;
Hocking: The Problem of
Truth
At least this affirms that the
SP triangles were used as a part of the teaching curriculum in 1971.

triangles
This is likely an old timer question. I was invOlved in working on
the social process triangles from January of 1971. Who knows anything of
their prior history? I am pretty sure that when I took the sociology and
history course with the Ecumenical Institute in January of 1967. the
sociology part was organized around economic, political and cultural.
What else can we recall?
Thanks.

Hi everyone, I am hoping that colleagues with longer memories
might be able to help me with some history please...
The 'big idea'
of the UK's new coalition government is Big Society - variously, applauded
as empowering the people, and/or derided as a cynical cover for
devastating public spending cuts - see http://www.ncvo-vol.org.uk/policy-campaigns-research/big-society/big-society
A
major initiative within this agenda is a forthcoming Government-funded
programme to train and support a cadre of 5,000 Community Organisers,
explicitly based on the principles of Saul Alinsky and Paulo Friere
- see http://www.urbanforum.org.uk/briefings/community-organisers-briefing
I
beleive that Friere was an influence on the early development of EI/ICA's
methods and approach, and I understand that Alinsky was developing
Community Organising in Chicago around the same time as EI/ICA was in
Fifth City.
What I would really like to learn more about is
to what extent and how did Friere and/or Alinsky influence the
develpment of EI/ICA and our methods and approach; and to what
extent and how might our methods and approach have influenced the
development of Community Organising?
My partner Derek put this
same question, more or less, to George Packard several years ago when he
was here in the UK just after Derek had taken a course in Faith-based
Community Organising through his local Unitarian church - but I don't much
remember what he said, and I'd love to have any more specific
recollections and (better still) any documents that might be
relevant.
I am hoping this might inform how we seek to position
ICA:UK in relation to this emerging new agenda, and that I might draft an
article (for ICA:UK Network News if not also elsewhere) based on what I
receive.
many thanks for any recollections or insights you can
offer, best wishes,
Martin
