How are you?<br>
<br>
I hope this strange historical moment finds you in the best possible place and situation!<br>
Today I write to ask you for help (Don't worry this is not the typical SPAM mail that asks you for money hehe)<br>
<br>
If you have subscribed to my newsletter for some time, you will know that in 2006 I started a doctorate in town planning at the Universidad Politécnica de Madrid. I finished the first cycle of subjects in 2009 with <a href="http://mail01.tinyletterapp.com/urbanohumano/will-you-help-me-finish-my-phd/18128022-urbanohumano.org/blog/2010/10/25/espacios-sensibles-hibridacion-fisico-digital-para-la-revitalizacion-de-los-espacios-publicos/?c=3f581c34-0db3-41d9-b7a8-c6a6b88525bd" style="text-decoration:none;color:#3466cc!important" target="_blank">a paper that has been downloaded 15,000 times</a> and I started to develop my doctoral thesis.<br>
<p dir="ltr" style="margin:1em 0;color:#505050;font-family:'Helvetica Neue',Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif;font-size:16px;font-style:normal;font-weight:normal;letter-spacing:normal;line-height:150%;text-align:left;word-wrap:break-word;margin-bottom:20px">I have been working on it for over 10 years and I am running out of time!<br>
December 16th is my last possible deadline!</p>
<p dir="ltr" style="margin:1em 0;color:#505050;font-family:'Helvetica Neue',Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif;font-size:16px;font-style:normal;font-weight:normal;letter-spacing:normal;line-height:150%;text-align:left;word-wrap:break-word;margin-bottom:20px"><strong>I need your help. I do need your help!</strong><br>
The content is there, however I lack the references.<br>
I have found 101 statements that need to be supported by a quote or a reference. </p>
<p dir="ltr" style="margin:1em 0;color:#505050;font-family:'Helvetica Neue',Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif;font-size:16px;font-style:normal;font-weight:normal;letter-spacing:normal;line-height:150%;text-align:left;word-wrap:break-word;margin-bottom:20px">I don't think I could do it alone in such a short time.<br>
Will you help me find them?</p>
<p dir="ltr" style="margin:1em 0;color:#505050;font-family:'Helvetica Neue',Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif;font-size:16px;font-style:normal;font-weight:normal;letter-spacing:normal;line-height:150%;text-align:left;word-wrap:break-word;margin-bottom:20px">The thesis is focused on the processes of collective intelligence. Why not activate a process of collective intelligence to finish it?</p>
<p dir="ltr" style="margin:1em 0;color:#505050;font-family:'Helvetica Neue',Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif;font-size:16px;font-style:normal;font-weight:normal;letter-spacing:normal;line-height:150%;text-align:left;word-wrap:break-word;margin-bottom:20px">Why not transform a problem into an opportunity?</p>

An experiment that could allow me to achieve what I would find difficult to achieve on my own, generating knowledge and an open methodology that could be useful for more people. </p>

<p dir="ltr" style="margin:1em 0;color:#505050;font-family:'Helvetica Neue',Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif;font-size:16px;font-style:normal;font-weight:normal;letter-spacing:normal;line-height:150%;text-align:left;word-wrap:break-word;margin-bottom:20px">I have published 101 statements in a public document. <a href="http://mail01.tinyletterapp.com/urbanohumano/will-you-help-me-finish-my-phd/18128026-bit.ly/31fgyrh?c=3f581c34-0db3-41d9-b7a8-c6a6b88525bd" style="text-decoration:none;color:#3466cc!important" target="_blank">Here is the link</a>.</p>

Every day I will publish the statements of one category.<br>
I will do it in my blog, in my newsletter, social networks!</p>
<p dir="ltr" style="margin:1em 0;color:#505050;font-family:'Helvetica Neue',Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif;font-size:16px;font-style:normal;font-weight:normal;letter-spacing:normal;line-height:150%;text-align:left;word-wrap:break-word;margin-bottom:20px">I will also organize some working sessions in videoconference. They will be short sessions of one hour, one for each of the 7 categories. <a href="http://mail01.tinyletterapp.com/urbanohumano/will-you-help-me-finish-my-phd/18128030-docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1faipqlseqn15admi3f1ogbchknoljgbklls_qbv8ywjazbo_3vnroig/viewform?c=3f581c34-0db3-41d9-b7a8-c6a6b88525bd" style="text-decoration:none;color:#3466cc!important" target="_blank">If you want to participate, please fill in this form</a>.</p>
This is all.<br>
If perhaps this is not your field of action or research, I hope that at least soon I will be able to share the methodology of this action so that it can be useful to be applied in another context. I also thank you if you pass this message to other people who you think can help me.<br>
<br>
As always, I am looking forward to your comments and proposals, or simply to hear how you are doing.<br>
<br>
A big hug.<br>
