GLOBAL
FUNCTIONAL COLLABORATION
There will be a Lonergan Conference at
Saint Mary’s University (SMU),
Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada, July 6th 10th, 2009. The topic is "Global
Functional Collaboration". Offers of
papers are invited, but they need to be
attempts - however feeble at this stage to implement particular functional
specialties. There is to be a single
workshop on the main topic conducted
by Philip McShane. Furthermore,
opportunities for consultation and collaboration will continue through and beyond
the following weekend until Wednesday July 15th. Papers and registration are due
by June 15th to Robert Henman. For further information go to Roberthenman.com

CONFERENCE SCHEDULE:
The conference proper will run from Monday July 6th at 10.00 a.m. to
Friday 10th at 4.00 p.m.; the extended collaborative working period
continues until Wednesday afternoon, July 15th.
Sunday evening, July 5th, an informal gathering will be arranged for those

Friday evening, July 10th, there will be a social gathering.
The five days of the conference have a common rhythm:
10.00 a.m. - 12.30 a.m., with suitable breaks, there is to be a workshop on
Collaboration guided by McShane. Set strategic topics will be dealt with in a
flexible sequence, but the dominant mood is to be the search for
implementation.
2.00 p.m. - 4.00 p.m. These times will be devoted to short oral
presentations of papers on functional collaboration, followed by
discussions regarding issues of implementation.
The evenings - after a flexible common meal - are to be open to more
elementary discussions on the genesis of precisions with regard to
implementations.
The results of the week will be carried forward as a context for the drive for
effectiveness of collaboration in the working days to follow, looking
towards the decade 2010-2020 in its potential leads towards the third
millennium as it edges forward into the third and fourth stages of
meaning.
