Crowd talk completeWell, I delivered my talk on crowds to the departmental research seminar this week. I was very pleased by the talk. First of all it was very well attended. Second of all I felt confident and good in the material. Third of all several people that I didn’t know showed up, and I hope will turn out to be very important contacts for the future. I have no idea how they found out about the talk. Three important people came. First, a Carleton prof in Sociology (Charles Gordon) who had many interesting perspectives on this and who worked with a crowd researcher earlier in his career. Second, a Civil engineering prof, George Hadjisophocleous, who I didn’t get to talk to before he had to go (to see a student of his give a crowd talk). Very exciting was a researcher from NRC (Guylène Proulx) who works in the Fire Risk Assessment group in the Institute for Research in Construction at the NRC. She is part of a team investigating the world trade centre. Dr. Hadjisophocleous actually teaches a course on people in fires. I need to get the syllabus for this and figure out what’s going on there. Also, he just got a big CFI grant to build a burnination palace. An interdisciplinary look at people in crowds will require lots of expert help. Meeting these people is a very good start, and I hope they will be willing to advise me as I go along. So, all in all, a very successful day for me.
