Location: @ser_soc twitter feed, #serendipityreads
Time: 5PM BST on Fridays (~monthly; see below for scheduled papers)
We launch each discussion with an introduction to the paper and general introductions of authors and chair. Then we post discussion points based on the paper every fifteen minutes until 6PM BST – but the joy of twitter is that the discussion can go on! So follow along with the @ser_soc twitter feed or via #serendipityreads
