International Society for the Systems Sciences, Arts-informed Inquiry Special Interest Group

Next summer at the Sonoma 2006: The 50th Annual Meeting of the International Society for the Systems Sciences Sonoma State University, Rohnert Park, California, USA July 9th - 14th 2006 a special session on arts-based inquiry is being proposed by the planning committee. This note is a special invitation for participation in the planning of that event. There will be time for discussion, presentations of artistic, musical, literary, performance and scholarly works as well as a show arranged for artists working in sculpture, painting and other visual media. Weave a little over a year to create this special event together.

For those of you using the tools of art in scholarly research already (or, conversely, the tools of research in art), this will be a very exciting opening of some doors and a meeting of minds, indeed!
