Text of the page (random words):
who is signalled as being there to learn in addition make a conscious effort to make space for new voices include a variety of epistemologies and criteria for acceptance ensure that criteria are explicit in welcoming and encouraging diversity one way is to ensure that a call for proposals directly cites the work of a wide range of authors we have seen journal cfps on issues related to diversity and inclusion that cite exclusively white male authors on the topic mind you any such reference list should be suspect pay attention to roles think carefully about the roles ensure that the experts are not all from the global north and participants from the periphery ensure that sessions are organized to ensure participants from the north have multiple opportunities to listen to those from the south and those from the south can hear each other in addition ensure that membership of the conference committee the core team of key conference organisers and even the conference chairs is diverse diverse does not mean a token person from one or two minority groups but a representative number of participants across relevant minority groups the shape of the programme ensure diversity across the programme we can think of examples of events where all the global south participants were in one panel or one stream this is a form of marginalisation include a diversity of contributors on boards and in leadership facilitation positions formats small and poorer institutions are unlikely to fund someone to attend an event where the person is not speaking events where people go to learn participate or unconference type events are often unfundable internally so funding needs to be provided for many funding is only available if they are making a contribution that is published in official proceedings so try to provide them lead times how early is the call put out many people in global south people need longer times to get visas local funds etc there are even instances where an invited speaker has not had sufficient time to get a visa and thus could not travel to participate language consider how a variety of languages can be enabled some conferences put in place strategies to enable participation through technology buddy systems etc participation guidelines how are the values of the conference re safety inclusion respect communicated to participants and others what avenues are provided so that those who experience exclusion or marginalisation have an opportunity to communicate this to with conference organisers before during or after the event the mozilla festival mozfest provides one such exemplar of participation guidelines https mozillafestival org guidelines offer onsite childcare options or make your event child friendly it is much more complex for parents to travel to international or really any conference not within driving distance conferences far from home without the option of bringing their children with them yes this is complicated to arrange but some events do it so it is not impossible new networks disrupt old boys networks ensure diverse leaders and organizers this does not mean token diversity as in 3 4 non north people in a team of 20 but as international as you want your event to be and in roles that allow taking action not just for image for example some of us are on several editorial boards but are never consulted on anything related to diversity or anything else there are cases of other editorial boards where we do have a role enable social networking provide opportunities for people to join up and meet one another at events offer a local person to host a handful of people at a local restaurant for example facilitate virtual participation plan for and design that provisions exist for virtual or hybrid participants and presenters there are several ways to do this e g see http virtuallyconnecting org for an effective way of doing this above all do not just celebrate diversity by paying lip service to it recognize that it takes hard work and a rethinking of the way things have been done in the past and often some degree of discomfort learn from other examples accept that this will always be an aspiration and keep reflecting on what you do and iterate towards improving it you are challenging hegemonic world systems of knowledge and it will take time to do it right keep involving diverse participants and organizers to choose the ways that they believe will help to achieve this useful links the privilege to choose global perspectives blog post by maha bali with links to previous

docs all along there s really no way to describe it as anything other than pure magic https t co aaereevkqm sean takats stakats october 19 2018 that s right our favorite citation and research organization tool now integrates into google docs with a click of a button put the correctly formatted citation right where you want or need it now just one person doesn t have to be responsible for works cited on a collaborative document easily and if you are using a device with ios you can now add books to your zotero library by simply scanning the barcode there is an intermediate step which is to install the apple shortcut app on your device i have to check that app out too because it looks cool the above linked blog post from zotero explains it all i don t have much more to add other than

co design for campus wide challenges maha bali describes a student faculty co design at the american university in cairo last semester maha co authored this post with ayah elewa electronics engineering graduate from the american university in cairo student in maha s class and student technology assistant at the center for learning and teaching at the time of the experience discussed below she blogs at http writefullyayah wordpress com and tweets as ayah_egypt in february 2018 the center for learning and teaching clt at the american university in cairo auc ran a student faculty co design session as part of a 15 year anniversary event for clt the idea for the session came from several brainstorming sessions conducted within the department and with student technology assistants stas who worked with us to gauge student perspectives on how to best involve them particular faculty and their students were invited to participate in this two hour facilitated session others led the design of the activity but both authors were both involved in early brainstorming for it maha also attended as a faculty member and invited interested students in her class to participate which is how ayah became involved the clt website describes the activity as follows in many institutions of higher education there are reports on perception and expectation gap between faculty and students that has been affecting student motivation and engagement this co design session brings both stakeholders to the same table working together in small teams each team will be dissecting a challenge related to teaching and learning at auc and will work together with the facilitation of clt to co design creative strategies to overcome those challenges and explore opportunities and possibilities for innovation in the classroom outcomes of this session will be shared by clt with the auc community tables were set up for groups of 2 3 faculty to work with 3 4 students such that each individual received a stack of cards with questions to fill out individually about themselves and the other stakeholder i e students would answer questions about themselves and faculty and vice versa for faculty after the individual reflections groups would share what they had written and discuss and probe deeper and after this discuss what were the most insightful and surprising findings for them and what they might be interested in working on in future on her blog ayah reflected on this event mentioning how challenging it was to consider the faculty member perspective i didn t ever put my shoes in a professor s shoes in fact i ve never given much thought to the fact that they might be motivated or not to come and teach other students reflect on their blogs manar wrote the co design session was my first experience talking explicitly to professors about how i see the educational process and the flaws i see need to be modified and nourhal wrote for me it was the first time that i get to sit with a professor on the same table and actually be able to talk and express my opinion to help them improve the learning experience of other students nadeen found it an interesting opportunity for me to look upon the professors points of view this indicates there is insufficient conversation on our campus about these important topics particularly ones involving students and faculty working together one of the lightbulb moments that occurred in ayah and maha s group was that faculty thought students were motivated by grades but none of the students said about themselves that they were motivated by grades instead students shared things like parental approval and teacher respect and appreciation which are sometimes related to grades but grades were not themselves a motivator it was a reminder for all of us to dig deeper behind what seems apparent and find the root causes despite the overall success and popularity of the event one student s blog shows that some faculty in her group responded to student comments sarcastically rather than empathetically particularly with regards to why students show up late for 8 30am classes or seem sleepy when they do show up several students enjoyed the session and expected them to result in campus wide change mirna overall felt the session effectively broke the ice between both students and professors bringing both of them to the same table working together in small teams discussing future plans and strategies that affect both and she now expects to see real positive outcomes and appreciated changes within classrooms to experience a better innovated learning atmosphere within classrooms that involves a better understanding and healthier communication between students and professors nourhal indicated a hope that these insights make a difference in making students academic lives better only nadeen was skeptical and asked whether the solutions that we had figured out as a collaboration between the students and the professors are going to be applied later on in classes reflections and improvements for future iterations in hindsight clt should have set student expectations on what would happen to the results of the session either a plan for disseminating findings via some written or oral form or for example clt workshops based on what was found but students need to know that clt probably has little power to change auc policies or such importantly a few faculty seemed to not understand what empathetic interviewing entailed and perhaps clt facilitators should have introduced it at the beginning or had a facilitator at each table to help ensure everyone truly listened empathetically to each other rather than getting defensive or potentially silencing each other with faculty obviously holding more power than students in this context both maha and ayah finished the event wishing more such sessions were conducted on a regular basis and ayah points out on her blog that it s important to bring diverse students into such discussions with their own learning preferences she also hoped more science and engineering faculty would participate have you had meaningful student faculty collaborations or

probably get an extra hour of sleep this weekend so at least you have that going for you probably good to be well rested before tuesday robin derosa explains why the library is open but the cost of delivering education and sustaining institutions is not zero so obviously when we say free we mean free to access and not free to deliver people confuse this point all the time with open educational resources which are free to students but which take significant academic labor to generate integrate with curriculum host update etc so free even in the simpler gratis sense is really not a simple concept my library card at the concord free public library was free but i also drew a salary there and without even knowing it i was experiencing a conceptual friction that would later become central to the questions i want to explore in my advocacy dan cohen reports what we learned from studying the news consumption habits of college students students are interested in news and want to know what s going on but given the sheer scale and sources of news they find themselves somewhat paralyzed as humans naturally do in such situations students often satisfice in terms of news sources accepting good enough proximate from friends or media descriptions rather than seeking out multiple perspectives or going to canonical sources of news like newspapers furthermore much of what they consume is visual rather than textual internet genres like memes gifs and short videos play an outsized role in their digestion of the day s events derek b...
