Last day of Posters and Website and appreciations of each other's insight and care
===
===TODAY'S TIME LINE FACILITATED BY DIRECTORS OF POSTERS AND WEBSITE!
• @ 4:01: 9 mins: set up: create your space with poster; decide who will be displaying in each session
• @ 4:10-4:25: 15 mins: everyone silently looks at the posters, makes notes about the title of the poster, author, other identifying info for feedback
• @ 4:25-4:55: 30 + mins: session 1: half display, half wander and interact with all displays
• @ 4:55-5:25: 30 + mins: session 2: switch
• brief break 10 mins around 5:30
• @ 5:40-6:30: last 45 or so mins of class for website and thoughts
Basically everyone creates a little space inhabited by their poster. Then we all go around silently and look at everything and make notes on what everyone is doing as understood that way.
We do NOT present: we emphasize INTERACTION! That's a bit tricky and hard to get ourselves into this as a special practice: I say to folks: tweet at each other! So questions and answers are fine but not at any length! That's hard! we love to be the center of attention rather than actually interacting.
No monologing, yes, tweeting!
Think poster session interactions; think tweeting rather than presenting; think feedback at various ranges of engagement and detail.

how different communities of practice imagine "making the world a better place"
===
As we finish up the class I would like to meditate on and use as a thread through our readings and activities ideas about how various communities of practice imagine and perform "making the world a better place." Think Sandoval & Dixon as lenses through everything we have been reading and doing. Think feminism/s and its internal differences and critiques.
On Facebook this morning I wondered this aloud in response to new trends in fitness apps and their managements and monitorings, as a new ad proclaimed technology that "prods you to take action not just collect data." (NYT article: http://www.nytimes.com/2015/04/19/technology/technology-that-prods-you-to-take-action-not-just-collect-data.html?_r=0 )
This comes from the new business philosophies of "nudges" which is how behavioral economists' imagine making the world a better place. Also called "choice architecture" and the Wikipedia gives us some interesting ways of understanding how those acting within what some might call neoliberalism would understand themselves to doing exactly that: think No Child Left Behind:
Choice Architecture on the Wikipedia, and Thaler explaining how it makes the world a better place: http://www.chicagobooth.edu/news/2008ManCon/01-thaler.aspx
I was contrasting that to how gamers do this (and note there are many overlaps): Gaming Can Make a Better World, TED talk by Jane McGonigal is one of most interesting of these: http://www.ted.com/talks/jane_mcgonigal_gaming_can_make_a_better_world?language=en
Love the title of her book: Reality is Broken: http://janemcgonigal.com/my-book/
How about Joseph's work and talk? And how about feminists in contention about triggers, micro aggressions, new materialisms and ....? what do you see tangled here?
How might we consider these issues as we interact with Gessen as well? How do journalists imagine making the world a better place? or is "journalists" too general a term? And how might journalism figure in nudges, gaming, triggers?

seen today on Facebook: attentions to peer review & revisions
===
With permission I share this observation seen on my Facebook newsfeed this morning. (The kinds of things that my feed turns up given the folks in my FB friends group ::smiling::). As you can see I liked it! (note the Public icon which shows it can be shared widely. Even so I asked permission both to share it with you all and to put it up on our class website.)

who died today 13 April 2015
https://newint.org/features/2002/01/05/rave/
The Right to Rave
the air shall be cleansed of all poisons except those born of human fears and human passions;
in the streets, cars shall be run over by dogs;
people shall not be driven by cars, or programmed by computers, or bought by supermarkets, or watched by televisions;
the TV set shall no longer be the most important member of the family and shall be treated like an iron or a washing machine;
people shall work for a living instead of living for work;
written into law shall be the crime of stupidity, committed by those who live to have or to win, instead of living just to live like the bird that sings without knowing it and the child who plays unaware that he or she is playing;
in no country shall young men who refuse to go to war go to jail, rather only those who want to make war;
economists shall not measure living standards by consumption levels or the quality of life by the quantity of things;
cooks shall not believe that lobsters love to be boiled alive;
historians shall not believe that countries love to be invaded;
politicians shall not believe that the poor love to eat promises;
earnestness shall no longer be a virtue, and no-one shall be taken seriously who can’t make fun of himself;
death and money shall lose their magical powers, and neither demise nor fortune shall make a virtuous gentleman of a rat;
no-one shall be considered a hero or a fool for doing what he believes is right instead of what serves him best;
the world shall wage war not on the poor but rather on poverty, and the arms industry shall have no alternative but to declare bankruptcy;
food shall not be a commodity nor shall communications be a business, because food and communication are human rights;
no-one shall die of hunger, because no-one shall die of overeating;
street children shall not be treated like garbage, because there shall be no street children;
[image, unknown] rich kids shall not be treated like gold, because there shall be no rich kids;
education shall not be the privilege of those who can pay;
the police shall not be the curse of those who cannot pay;
justice and liberty, Siamese twins condemned to live apart, shall meet again and be reunited, back to back;
a woman, a black woman, shall be president of Brazil, and another black woman shall be president of the United States; an Indian woman shall govern Guatemala and another Peru;
in Argentina, the crazy women of the Plaza de Mayo shall be held up as examples of mental health because they refused to forget in a time of obligatory amnesia;
the Church, holy mother, shall correct the typos on the tablet of Moses and the Sixth Commandment shall dictate the celebration of the body;
the Church shall also proclaim another commandment, the one God forgot: You shall love nature, to which you belong;
clothed with forests shall be the deserts of the world and of the soul;
the despairing shall be paired and the lost shall be found, for they are the ones who despaired and lost their way from so much lonely seeking;
we shall be compatriots and contemporaries for all who have a yearning for justice and beauty, no matter where they were born or where they lived, because the borders of geography and time shall cease to exist;
perfection shall remain the boring privilege of the gods, while in our bungling, messy world every night shall be lived as if it were the last and every day as if it were the first.

systems justice and multispecies attentions

I added Kirksey to 9 April, shifting that and 30 April readings for our discussions: this can be reflected in your readings according to Director of Readings, or as you want and need! It reflects my own sense of where we are going in the class now after our paper sessions....
And we talked about Open Peer Review a bit in class. Here is an argument for double blind peer review, for your thinking, and to add to our transcontextual tangling!
