EuroSoTL 2025 Collaborative Writing Group

• The EuroSoTL 2025 Collaborative Writing Group (ESCWG) on Decoding and Disrupting aims at making Decoding and Disrupting work more accessible to a broader audience. It does so primarily (but not necessarily exclusively) by contributing content to this wiki.

The ESCWG is one of six writing groups organized by EuroSoTL 2025.

Suggested writing

The ESCWG on Decoding is pretty much open to all sorts of media and outlets (as long as it serves the overall goal of making Decoding work more accessible). A working plan will be drafted at the inaugural online-meeting. It should be open for adjustment.

The group of people who have planned this ESCWG has the following type of writing content in mind:

Wiki content

• Pages describing specific bottlenecks, such as e.g. Difference between sample and population. (For this type of pages a suitable degree of conciseness needs to be agreed on. The thinkable spectrum ranges from super concise as in Heat, temperature and internal energy to very detailed as in the Bottleneck Section of Limits.)
• Pages featuring specific work (published or unpublished). Most likely, the best current exemplars of such a page are Group activities in interactive teaching and Limits.
• Pages explaining Decoding and Disrupting concepts and jargon, e.g. Step 3 - Modeling Mental Operations, Emotional Bottleneck.

Journal articles

It is expected that while working on the wiki "a view of the landscape of Decoding" will emerge. This might lead to the idea of jointly writing a review article. A likely topic might be "reading across the disciplines" as much Decoding work is on reading academic artifacts (text, graphs).

Dinner on June 16th.

Here is the info by the ESCWG organizers: "We are keen to have a meal out on the 16^th June prior to the start of the in-person writing day on the 17^th. Svenne has kindly helped to source a restaurant which caters to a range of tastes and eating options at affordable prices.  The details are below and we would welcome your support in asking your group about how many would be joining us for the meal.  This would be a self-paid dinner and an opportunity for delegates to meet one another in an informal and welcoming way. 

Pizza at Napoli Groningen seems to be the cheapest option. Most pizzas are prices between 14 and 19 euros. There are lots of options available, so I think we can accommodate all dietary preferences. The menu includes vegetarian options, vegan options (surplus 1,50 euro) and gluten free option (surplus 2,50 for pizza and surplus 1,50 for pasta)."
