Subject: SSSR Members?
The flow of information on HUMANIST professional
societies representatives has slowed considerably,
and the resultant updated list will appear soon.
It can still be updated, of course, but it is time
to consider how to make best use of the list for
various purposes. My own initial interest was to
determine in what professional areas computer related
things were going on at an official level, and in
what areas they were not, with a view to considering
how to get the "not" areas more involved. Perhaps
a reasonable followup would be to issue a list of
those organizations in which no known formal computers
activities were occurring, and let members pare the
list accordingly. Any other ideas?
>From my own perspective of religious studies, I was
surprised to find that noone on HUMANIST confessed to
belonging to the Society for the Scientific Study of
Religion. Is this accurate? Are SSSR members more
likely to hob-nob with sociologists? Or can we expect
that a number of organizations represented by HUMANIST
members are yet to be identified?
