That loneliness point was interesting... And Tim's point about how it's harder to do this because others don't seem to be doing it (so that sometimes makes me feel like "What's the point?"). Good revelations, hard questions in this video.

sharing economy
So troubling how this is getting corporatized, though. Uber is a great example of a private corporation using the ideals of the sharing economy to market a business that is essentially bad for both labor and for public infrastructure....

That wasn’t the case, as Whitman explained.
I love this not only because your perspective shifted a bit, but because it demonstrates how primary research like interviews can yield such valuable points. It's in the conversation with Steve-- the dialogue-- that your ideas begin to expand. So different from what you get from a static text...

“If young people are learning about conservation issues exclusively via the Discovery Channel, or Planet Earth DVDS, their ability to engage with nature may be limited”
So interesting to think about the distinction between education and experience. Or maybe better: the distinction between secondary learning and primary learning. Interesting that mediated nature doesn't have the same effects on us as umediated or directly experienced nature... And that makes me wonder about all education, actually, and how applied experiences "in the field" matter to learning and to action.

no direct link between values and action
WHAT??? No way. Really?? No direct link at all?
-
a place of altruistic concern
Though it seems sort of in keeping with the idea of sustainability: it maybe can't be altruism as much as balance. What is good for humans is also good for the planet, so getting to a point where humans see what is better for ourselves is the tricky part...

How do we reach something that is process-oriented? How do we know when we’ve arrived? It’s this lack of ‘quantifiability’ that makes it difficult to market sustainability as an idea because there’s no concrete way to measure our success.
Wow this is just so interesting, and spot on in my experience in many related arenas. Especially when funding is at stake, we are generally asked to produce results, prove success, find solutions, fix problems. But as you suggest, with complex problems sometimes the "payoffs" will likely be more process than product, and the assessments and "proof" will not be as sexy as funders would like... Tough problem...
-
Those processes can survive disruption better because there’s more accountability in the sources of the water, and we wouldn’t be putting our faith in nonrenewable sources.
Well explained!

Many followed in Carson’s footsteps, warning through the use of books, documentaries, and more recently, Facebook advertisements. The first Earth Day in 1970 was a culmination of all of these ideas and created an impetus for future policies, like the Clean Air and Water Act, the Endangered Species Act, and more recently, regulations in the EPA. Since then, sustainability has taken a front seat, and the discussion of the term and its usage is ubiquitous.
Thinking there are lots more opportunities for hyperlinks...
-
as industry picked up
So interesting to think about how industrialization and sustainability are conceptually and historically linked...

Considering environmental sustainability without development is like building a house in a flood zone; there’s an obvious conflict of interest, one that would be convenient to ignore.
Nice metaphor. Helpfully explained.

AXON could be a possible way to make money in the near future if more analysis of it is complete.
Ok, I am looking for one more paragraph about how individual investors-- without huge resources and interdisciplinary teams-- can to the kind of analysis you have done without access to either. To balance your introduction, maybe a bit more of a conclusion that steps back from the specific companies to talk more about how these strategies can translate into steps for individuals. You do offer that a bit, but then by ending with the specific companies, you sort of leave me feeling like we don't have closure.
-
Which is why investing is entirely a multidisciplinary and often times interdisciplinary subject
Yes, this paper has really demonstrated this beautifully.

I am also noticing how helpful it is to be an interdisciplinarian for this work. You are really learning the basics of what these companies do, and counting on that basic literacy to be able to paint a picture and a trajectory.

Today, the officials of the Univerisity of Vienna are attempting to retrace the past and seeking buried information, in hopes that they might aid the next generation to approach these atrocities. Third generation students and scholars are morally outraged and seeking full access to the documents and locations of the victims’ remains. They hope to properly bury the victims and memorialize them.
A link to some of these efforts would be awesome here, since I would totally like to explore more!

Requiring all Medical faculty to declare their ethnic lineage as either Aryan or non-Aryan, an action which provided the Nazi Regime with a list of those who refused to provide their ethnic background.
Whoa. Again, I almost feel like there a whole paper to write on the connections between medical illustration, eugenics, and genocide in world history...

Some views in science helped foster a movement with grim intentions. Germany during the 1870’s was fighting a major war between the Second French Empire and Prussian-led German Forces. This war caused much unification for Germany as a country, solidifying it while building tension and hostility which was a leading cause of World War One. This seems irrelevant for this discussion on Brödel, however, the information supplies an understanding of what is to come in the future of medical illustration.
This is a bit muddled to me. You seem to allude to the role that medical illustration plays in war and in cultural movements (including genocide), but then dismiss it for this particular illustrator, so it seems a little weird as a paragraph...
-
and the study of the “races,” which eventually led to many eugenics and ethnic purity movements.
I would like to hear more about your opinion on how medical illustration bleeds (no pun intended) into culture and affects how different groups of people (women, people of color, disabled people, etc) are viewed and treated...

Gray’s anatomy was a success in their day and in ours.
:) In more ways that one.
-
A law was passed to stop “body snatching” a term that means stealing bodies from freshly dug graves. Unfortunately, there weren’t enough hanged convicts in England to supply all the young medical students, so the government passed a law allowed for bodies found in a workhouse, or hospital, of a person who has not enough to pay for their own funeral, will be used as cadavers for the medical students. This is where they found their subjects.
This is such stunning information. And makes me curious to know about the politics of all of this now, in the 21st century.
-

Wow.

the figured in the 18th century (particularly female anatomies) anatomical atlases are often shown piecemeal, as parts rather than whole.”
Do you think there is a place for feminist analysis here? Is there any link between these fragmented bodies and the fragmented ways women's bodies are portrayed in contemporary advertising, for example?
-
poet, and a playwright until he answered his true calling in life as a professor of anatomy
Amazing to think about how hard it would to be this "interdisciplinary" these days-- the university structures would likely make young scholars choose one or the other of these areas...
-
They called themselves natural philosophers. The natural philosopher of the eighteenth-century was controlled by patronage and attempting to distinguish themselves as true natural philosophers. However, due to the constant influence of the Anatomist, there was no credit issued to the artist of the anatomical atlases.
I am having trouble following this. Again, I think slowing down and defining terms more deliberately (maybe hyperlinks or a glossary?) would help a lot.

The foreshortening in the left leg of the figure is an exciting image, as it displays the abilities of the Renaissance artist.
Very cool to see this start to develop historically! This is a wonderful Art History paper, as well as what it does for Medical Illustration...

this illustration does show a map of some of the nerves, and where they protrude from the peripheral nervous system.
Even in your paper, I am enjoying that the summaries are one part art criticism and one part anatomy review. I can really see how your studies in both fields have prepared you to write this article!

this is most likely due to the fact that the cadaver was sat up on a stool for the illustrator.

Human Dissection
This section seems a bit disjointed. Can it be wrapped into the outline more coherently? How does it connect to the thing just above and just below it?
-
This illustration was likely used to teach young hunters the best place to injure the mammoth: the heart. Though there was little understanding of anatomy and physiology at that time, this was one of the first documented pieces of medical illustration.
Very cool! I couldn't quite see why this was connecting to your topic, but of course-- a diagram that instructs about the anatomy of the mammoth...so cool.

I like the fact that anxiety is treated as a "real" symptom that needs alleviating. With my mom's stroke, she suffered depression and it was really not treated or taken seriously. Research I read later suggested she should have been treated and that it could have improved her overall outcomes with speech and mobility as well. Ugh.

-
This can be both good and bad. For example, a resident may eat lunch but once lunch is all cleaned up and everything is out of view they question when lunch will be served. As a staff member tries to redirect them and alert them they have already eaten some of the residents take it as an insult to their memory and become agitated.

I do notice this so much more as I age, and I wonder how I can tell the difference between normal aging and the early stages of dementia. But I am also struck by the fact that "normal" brains do have some of these problems-- the line between diseased and healthy is not always totally rigid maybe...there is some interesting crossover...

Facebook should become a public benefit corporation.
Yeah, ok! Take me to this planet! I love chatting with Kate over on Mastodon! Whatever wacky insanity Dr. Wu is peddling here (in the commons), I am buying (metaphorically and without ponying cash or data). I don't think FB will be the nonprofit public benefit platform we need. But maybe we can build it somewhere? Hoping the next backlash period in American political history will see a resurgence of public institutions with public infrastructure, including tech infrastructure. FB was built at Harvard. Let's build Wubook in the community colleges and town libraries and food co-ops. STOP LAUGHING BECAUSE I MEAN IT and we can.
-
Coming clean
I am so so so cynical because this seems ridiculous. I can only imagine that they would only come clean in targeted ways that shore up their longterm profit goals. They would take a small hit if it would benefit the company in the long run in terms of revenues and longevity. I just don't see how we can rely on this kind of airing of dirty laundry when we know it always needs to serve its own profit margins. That being said, I understand that the company's longterm sustainability could be improved if they admit to and fix their problems. But I just can't feel hopeful that this really makes the platform better for users: wouldn't it just make FB a better user of users?

This seems like a totally ridiculous idea, but this last line is awesome, and I would be interested in a tool that did this. I just wonder how you do this algorithmically. Like, do you let users totally define and build value according to their own personal standards? That's interesting. But this is so damn weird. Why would I want FB to get all up in my values this way? Maybe for the same reason I now count on them to archive the f*$%kin diary of my life. Doh.
-
more transparency.
I wonder if you can have "more" or "less" transparency. If transparency is controlled, won't it always be not transparent? Maybe clearer, but not transparent? If FB holds all the power to decide how to be more transparent, I just can't believe we could every really get transparency. Though maybe we could get something "good enough." After all, we have like NO transparency now and so many of us are still willing to be there. But I tend to think we may need al alternative to FB rather than a solution for FB.

“The greatest enemy of fact checking is hubris”—that is, having excessive trust in one’s ability to accurately pass judgment on an unfamiliar website.
Helpful to use this with students...
-
students need to harness the power of the web to evaluate a single node in it.
Excellent, well said.
-
Worse, the approach trains students’ attention on the website itself, thus cutting them off from the most efficient route to learning more about a site: finding out what the rest of the web has to say (after all, that’s why we call it a web).
Yes yes!

The internet may not have changed everything, but it has definitely changed many things about the way politics operates in the 21st century, and youth have been on the front lines of this process.
I think Cathy N Davidson's new book on transforming the university puts this into a helpful historical context as far as the mechanics of education are concerned, and I'm taking some good, practical ideas away from her work about the challenges and possibilities that tech raises for teachers who aim to actively engage students in their own learning.

It is understandably tempting to view this struggle through a feminist lens, and in so doing to think about the family-career balancing challenge as uniquely female or somehow reserved just for mothers.
Hmmm... not sure I am see why this article's view of the struggle is not expressly feminist. I don't think I would consider a feminist view of this issue as one that sees career-balancing challenges as uniquely female or reserved just for mothers. I would think feminism would critique such conscripted approaches to the question, and would instead look more to society and social values, and the ways in which gendered norms operate around work-life balance. I'd think patriarchy is one of the big problems here, not necessarily men. And some men will be privileged at points from these norms, though others will be limited by them... Anyway, love this piece, but didn't feel too connected to this sentence, which seems to me like an underselling of feminism's ability to address complex ideas as this article does.

grievance
This is a grievance process for accusations but not for decisions. False accusations seem potentially less troublesome than judgments or punishments that might be off. I am starting to see the challenges of having a "rule book" if we don't really tease this all out, but also wondering if we want a rule book as much as a code of ethics? I enjoy this "Statement on Ethics and Inclusion" from DHSI: http://dhsi.org/events.php. Really don't know...I get that this is complicated and I am learning much from others right now.

including sponsors and those with decision-making authority, will not be tolerated.
Again, how does the regulation here work? I have probably read too much Althusser (and David LOVES to dive into the lit theory with me), but I wonder how the decision-makers can be called out via this code? Is there some kind of board that functions to do this? or is it up to the "community" to enforce this? or are we a post-enforcement group and this is a code of ethics rather than a rule book?
-
community leaders
Again, when I think about this in practice, I wonder who this would be. And then I wonder-- if these people are not officials of the event, how does that shift the way this CoC works? George Siemens and I were chatting on Twitter about this. What is the difference between a "rule" and a community standard, and which category does this document fall into? Isn't this a totally relevant conversation for us to have as folks interested in "open?"

Attracting and maintaining a young workforce
And maybe relatedly thinking about how a young workforce will age in a rapidly evolving marketplace. How can we assure that our students don't just meet skills requirements for their first jobs, but also have the ability to connect with ongoing scholarly and professional growth, so they can help shape their jobs as they change and develop over time. How do we assure that we work for the public good and for students, and not just for the corporate world and their reewnable entry-level workforce needs?

“I don’t start in the middle, because I don’t yet understand the framework in which pieces fit together into a coherent image. Instead, I frame the outline and build clusters of pieces that look like they go together, and lastly add the connecting pieces that draw the whole image together.”
I also like this idea for building majors. Could students start with rough frameworks and build components as they go, including in their final years? Do all pathways have to be fully planned at the outset?

Much of what makes Hypothes.is special – its non-profitness, its open sourceness, its advocating for open standards-ness – is specifically structured to counteract the politics of the siloed version of the web we have now, which is not conducive or structured for enhancing civic engagement. The fundamentally open structure of the web allows information to flow freely. An open structure for web annotation will allow critique and conversation to similarly flow freely. There I go again on standards, but it’s an important difference between Twitter and Hypothes.is (or any open annotation client): your annotations are yours in a way that your Tweets simply are not.
YES, I agree with this.

verifying information
Honestly, I am flummoxed about how to respond to the fake news/propaganda thing. Notions of "truth" and "credibility" and "verifiability" are so complicated, and I don't want to be forced by the terms of a fucked up debate to rally around reductive ideas that some things are true and some are false. And then again, I don't want to advocate for an anything-goes approach that makes room for climate- and holocaust-deniers. I am an active user of Snopes. But how do we allow for the richness and complexity of diverse perspectives and non-dominant narratives, while resisting the emerging leftist role of "truth police?" I think H might allow us to do the kind of discursive work-- dialogic work-- that helps here. I don't like to think about that work as fact-checking as much as the critical exposure of epistemologies. We are all biased. Anyone else uncomfortable with the idea that if we just science enough (or whatever) we can get to some kind of pure, irrefutable truth? How could that end up hurting the causes we are trying to advance?

the internet as the democratization of information and the internet as yet another, perhaps even more insidious, manifestation of the inextricable relationship between knowledge and power.
Yes. This.

socio-technical architecture
Interesting phrase. Thinking about how all spaces are social (I think?) and all are built (I think?), and so what exactly makes the sociality or structure of a space "open"? Could it have to do not just with inclusivity, but also with the decentering effect that resists boundaries and borders-- and maybe therefore meaning? Invoking Homi Bhabha here in thinking about how margins define centers (not vice versa) and wondering if part of what feels politically important about web annotation is the way that it decenters the text itself, makes it incomplete, multi-authored, dynamic. And that will both challenge master-narratives and maybe also challenge meaning itself, which can be alienating to participants and a challenge to community building. Sorry-- I used to teach Intro Lit Crit. :)
-
“not-yet-ness.”
I know I am basically just another lit crit perspective here, but honestly that background-- particularly as a poststructuralist and probably as a postmodernist--inflects so much of my thinking about what the web is and can be. I think moving from English to Interdisciplinary Studies has also made me value the perspective that sees all knowledge as always incomplete; I love that my new field has a core value of noting that there is always another perspective, even if it's not visible or known yet. So when I work with students on the web-- especially in "intro" courses that are supposed to indoctrinate them to the core principles and theories of Interdisciplinary Studies-- I like to present the web as a space that allows and supports dynamism rather than stasis (process over product). But this is so out of line with so much about how teachers think about "public" writing and projects; we want them to be "portfolio" worthy, tidy, complete. When student work is flawed, I think it's a reminder to us about how we can think of all scholarly work. I love that H lets us focus on critique without a requirement that we devalue the work-- in fact, quite the opposite (we critique what has value and potential and impact and utility...). Just thinking out loud, but I think this aspect of "open-endedness" is really the core (ha ha-- irony) of so many of my areas of interest right now.

internet citizens
Thinking about this term, and about preceding it with "everyday." Wondering how one becomes this, whether it can ever be mundane without erasing the privilege inherent in the status.

I came to understand open as an invitation for reciprocal networking, the ongoing negotiation of power, and as ambiguity.
So much of this resonates after reading Martin Weller's wonderful little post today (and the awesome PPT embedded therein): http://blog.edtechie.net/openness/the-paradoxes-of-open-scholarship/

learning management system,
What the hell IS this? Do we mean a commercial product? Do we mean a closed digital sandbox for a course? Do we mean whatever it is we design in order to give structure to our courses/learning? I am starting to think we shouldn't use this phrase without knowing if we are just shorthanding Canvasblackboardwhatever (this is a WHAT) or talking about how we structure our courses (this is a HOW).

text-message reminders or remedial coaching
To me, these are lame ideas. I mean, fine. But what about looking at the institutional barriers that contribute to students failing out? What about dealing with the real costs of college to relieve pressure on students who have to work long hours on top of studying? This article seems to blame students for not doing well. In some cases, I get that-- but in others, students struggling with economic pressures, mental illness, addiction, racism, transfer bureaucracies, and stale curricula shouldn't really shoulder all of the blame.

students who come from stressful, low-income environments might have a particularly hard time developing gritty characteristics.
I doubt "grit" is something anyone is born with. So how does it emerge in some people and not others, and why doesn't this article seem to care about the social and economic forces that shape students?
-
hints at financial stress as a complicating circumstance in their lives.
Yes, I think that the study seems to totally ignore all of the factors that students face. By looking at "personality" traits, it seems to forget that institutions and socioeconomic reality affect how students perform.
-
Standardized test scores factor in, as does socioeconomic status
Seems weird to name these two things as if they are equivalent. The first is a metric while the second is a characteristic. In other words, test scores aren't a thing on their own, but they are a reflection of many things, one of which is actually socioeconomic status...

It makes learning relevant to all populations, to real life and real work,
I love this. Making learning "real" seems so key, and it's almost surprising to think that sometimes we disconnect it so much from the real world.
-
Its almost saying that technology is essential to learning now
I don't know if I think it is essential to learning, but it seems to afford so many possibilities of connecting learners with the world of ideas-- why wouldn't we use it if we are lucky enough to have the means?

Inmate Psychology
I can't see my comments when I type, so I couldn't add them to your post. You may have to change your theme to fix this. I can show you the issue when I see you next...frustrating... Not your fault, but it has to be fixed.
This statement is AWESOME! Biggest issues are 1) the comma splices (run-on sentences split by a comma) and 2) the program title.
For the comma splices, join this Hypothesis group: https://hypothes.is/groups/AYvx7o6R/grammarcheck.
Then you can see my comments and fix the errors.
The title will likely be an issue because we can't use "Psychology" in the title since then the program will be counted for the Psych department's accreditation process, which they won't be ok with. So we can change it to something like: "Psychological Approaches to Justice and Corrections" or "Psychological Aspects of Corrections." Think about it... We can chat about this on Tuesday.

The classes that I need to take now need to help me with my future career and family advocacy; classes that touch upon Social work as well. One Social work class that I plan on taking in the Spring is SW3130 Child Welfare and Family Services. My WECO course Is HE3220 Applied Nutrition for a Healthy Living. I will complete my WRCO and QRCO in the Spring semester. My QRCO class will be SS3700 Social Statistics, and my WRCO credit will be completed with HE3240 Health Promotion Planning and Evaluation. The class I think I will benefit the most from is SW 3150 Child Maltreatment.
Because this is a page and not a post, there is no place for me to comment on the work. This essay will definitely not pass as is, so you need to revise it quite a bit. Look at the sample that is online and see me if you need help. Mostly, you need to go more slowly through your courses, explaining what each one brings to the major. List them as suggested on the tips sheet (link on our syllabus). And your conclusion definitely needs expanding. Intro is good! Come see me for help...

In other words, the aspiration and ability of the American postsecondary institutions to accommodate some approximation of universal access has been its foremost characteristic. Institutions' shortfalls in completely achieving that aspiration have been the major source of criticism and debate within American higher education. It is the perpetual American dilemma of how achieve both equality and excellence.
Important! Let's discuss this quote in class!

One of the biggest shifts was the federal government becoming directly involved in higher education, which developed during the Civil War when southern congressmen who opposed the legislation were absent. The Morrill Act of 1862 set in motion an elaborate program whereby states received profits from the sale of an allotted portion of western lands if used to establish programs of agricultural, mechanical, and military sciences, along with liberal arts.

student learning isthe root of student persistence
