I'm Searching for a Better Fit: Democratizing Knowledge and Mobilizing Social Movement Texts and Contexts Beyond Individualization




Frustrated with how dependent the Sharepoint model is upon one person's ideations, skills, knowledge and energy, and thinking about future projects as I move into the Job Market in search of a new home, I got to browsing digital journals this morning.

I found good news and am feeling hopeful that my move forward toward new communities will be empowered through critical dialogues and collaborations with engaged civic minded actors.

Although I will be focused on completing my dissertation over the next 45 days, and the intensity of that effort, I am mindful that I want new tools and methods, and seeking new commitments from collaborators... to go further, to build new engines and scales.

Here are a few places I'm visiting this morning:
"Programmed Visions" Wendy Hui Kyong Chun and Raegan Kelly

"Blue Velvet" by David Goldbert, Stefka Hristova, Erik Loyer, and Liu Sola

"VECTORS"

"Kairos"

"Hypercities"

"Public Matters"

Indigenous Embodiment of Governance--From Margins to Center : At the conclusion of a final exam in the INDG 302: Indigenous Perspectives of Governance, Indigenous peoples integrated Indigenous pedagogical and ontological practices into the Indigenous Governance classroom putting complex theory into action.  After a  three hour exam, conducted as a traditional Indigenous council and decision-making council, which included sharing food, stories, and emotional testimonies, the lighting of sacred sage and smudging the space to purify the room of any negativity that might harm future persons occupying the room was conducted. In doing so, Indigenous peoples integrated a founding pillar of Indigenous knowledge systems deemed a core tenet of Indigenous epistemological and ontological systems.  In doing so, Indigenous peoples may have set off a number of micro to macro reactions of fear, bias, and ignorance among individuals and groups within the university system, who perceive ...
