The Walking Seminar is an monthly walk, hosted by Annemarie Mol, during which we talk-walk about various issues concerning academic work. The idea is that talking-while-walking enhances thinking in ways not attainable behind a desk or in a seminar sitting down.

Walking, Talking, Supervising
Walking is moving. There might be a plan in the beginning, for example to go along this particular path marked on the map; to discuss this specific topic along these questions. But once one starts walking, things might turn out quite differently.
This is what happened last week. We had a plan, a list of questions to discuss. But in the end, we supervised each others work: What are you working on at the moment? Where are you? What are your problems? And plans?
