Using Probability to Reduce the Size of a Voting Body
Get PDFSuppose a large group of people, such as a university faculty, traditionally makes decisions by meeting together and voting. Because of the COVID-19 pandemic, however, large group meetings have become impractical. Having a relatively small subset of the group meet and take votes would be safer and easier to organize. The purpose of this research is to use probability theory to choose a size for this subset which guarantees that the subset has a high probability of voting the same way as the entire group. Our research involves the study of the hypergeometric probability distribution and leads to a computer algorithm for determining the subset size
Curatorial Directing and Actor Agency: Consent-Based Practices for Digital Performance
Get PDFIn lieu of an abstract, here is an excerpt:
recognition that digital performance will remain as a practice far beyond the pandemic, and in response to Rikard and Pace’s call for theatre educators to reconsider what consent looks like in on-camera classrooms, this article engages with the genre of digital performance that W.B. Worthen’s analysis of performances created during the pandemic names as “Zoom Theatre” (2021). Worthen highlights Zoom Theatre as “the defining genre of theatre during the pandemic,” describing this genre as that in which “actors in different places all perform live, but remotely, typically from their homes, gathered on a screen” (183). Due to this merging of liveness and digitally captured performance, intimacy practitioners engaging with this form of performance need to consider ways in which intimacy choreography and intimacy coordination must merge. This article focuses on the ways in which the framing of Zoom Theatre can complicate Laura Mulvey’s concept of the Male Gaze (1975), introducing the concepts of agentic framing and curatorial directing as tools for creating consent-based performance within the unique contexts of Zoom Theatre
Interview with Dr. Ayse Pamuk
Get PDFIn this interview, Dr. Ayse Pamuk discusses her research, which is driven by a curiosity about global urban development disparities, teaching at SF State, problems with housing in the Bay Area, and the housing disparities caused by the COVID-19 pandemic
International Affordable Housing Image Collection
Get PDFThe images in this collection were taken on numerous field trips, research projects and excursions to a great variety of sites of scholarly interest, during the mid 1980\u27s to the mid 2000\u27s. They demonstrate the commonalities and differences in human aspirations, housing conditions, and the role of planning institutions in shaping human settlements in five countries: United States, Turkey, Brazil, Trinidad and Tobago, and Sweden
Mass Incarceration: Supporting the U.S Imperial Regime
Get PDFIn providing an overview into Mass Incarceration, the Prison Industrial Complex, and the Military Complex; the aim of this research will be to demonstrate how the U.S is engaging in a domestic military operation from their exploitation of the U.S prison population through prison wage labor, where conveniently, is being protected under the 13th Amendment of the United States Constitution. By virtue of the U.S. military\u27s inherent mechanism to "conquer", the United States government, through its military establishment and law enforcement, has engaged in the systematic exploitation of minority populations. For example, the United States, historically, has become an imperialistic nation from the earliest ventures of the Revolutionary War to the occupation of resource-rich continents such as Africa. As such, the discriminatory and prejudicial policies enforced by law enforcement have targeted minority populations which have resulted in a repeating cycle of incarceration
Community of Practice, Community of Support : IHE teacher preparation using a servingness professional development model for creating community
Get PDFIn order to humanize and connect future educators across programs, a Northern California four-year university created a weekly speaker series of professional development, Teachers, Eduleaders, Advocates, and Scholars (TEAS). TEAS aims to connect future educators to current practitioners to better meet the needs of PK-12 students and use a “servingness” model to meet the needs of diverse future educators. While TEAS has been successful at connecting educators across programs and humanizing education, an unexpected benefit has been educators that appear more confident in joining the profession. The next year of TEAS is an opportunity to further study these results
Cultivating Comadrerismo for Collective Liberation
Get PDFIn this paper, we draw from our positionality, respective roles on campus, and experience with developing the UndocuScholars Research Methods class. We argue that despite learning to navigate during a pandemic and dealing with the coexistence of grief and joy, transformation in the academy is possible when seeds are planted through building community, vulnerability, and the creation of an equitable and student-centered curriculum. At the same time, transformation in the academy occurs among faculty and staff through the development of comadrerismo, which is a bond that extends beyond collegiality, as it seeks to foster a sisterhood that honors, supports, and validates people’s journeys, roles, and goals in life. In the end, we all benefit from the harvest by reimagining spaces as locations where we can experience healing, transformation, and eventually, collective liberation. It is within our line of work that we can envision, change, and benefit from altering the institutional practices that move us to radically shift from individualistic to communal joy
Teacher in a Global Pandemic?
Get PDFWhere do I find myself as a teacher in our changed reality? These are my reflections on what I experienced as an educator during the COVID-19 pandemic and its aftermath. As a field, we often discount the voices of teachers and their humanity. This pandemic highlighted the need for teachers to be heard in a way that provides a more humanizing teacher experience and give them what they deserve and need to be able to continue supporting and guding young minds. 
A Scoping Review of Experiential Learning in Counselor Education: A systematic review of 38 studies of counselor education foregrounds experiential learning as a signature pedagogy, supporting learner self-efficacy and identity and complementing the formal curriculum.
No full textThe purpose of this scoping review was to identify, review, and map the concept of experiential learning in counselor education. The review provides an overview of the types of studies, the theoretical positioning, definitions, and positionality of experiential learning in counselor education. The study includes an overview of N = 38 studies that met the inclusion criteria. After coding each qualifying study, the resulting data was combined to provide an overview of how the literature of experiential learning is situated in the broader field of counselor education. Despite the lack of parity in how experiential learning is defined, there is increasing evidence that counseling education views experiential learning as a signature pedagogy that supports learner self-efficacy and identity as well as a means to complement counseling curricular content
