Get PDFModels Dont Decompose That Way: A Holistic View of Idealized Models
Get PDFMany (if not most) accounts of scientific modelling assume that models can be decomposed into the contributions made by their accurate and inaccurate parts. These accounts then argue that the inaccurate parts of the model can be justified by distorting only what is irrelevant. In this article, I argue that this decompositional strategy requires three assumptions that are not typically met by our best scientific models. In response, I propose an alternative view in which idealized models are characterized as holistically distorted representations that are justified by allowing for the application of various (mathematical) modelling techniques
Domains All Around - Lessons Learned and Questions to Ponder
No full textDuring spring 2019, Professor Jim Martin integrated Domain of One’s Own into his Praxis Fieldwork Seminar, Promoting Change Thru Service, as a new method for students to present about their experiences to a wider audience. This work served as a pilot project in the Praxis Program; specifically focusing on Praxis Independent Study and Fieldwork Seminar courses. In this brief presentation, Nathalia Santos (LITS) and Kelly Strunk (Praxis) will share some insights related to process, lessons learned, and future considerations for incorporating these kinds of projects into Praxis courses
Teaching a Shared/Hybrid/Online Course using Zoom
No full textWhen offering a shared/hybrid/online course, one of the first challenges is the choice of technology. Imagine you are going to teach a course with focus on both theoretical derivations and practical programming. Moreover, you want to accommodate synchronous and asynchronous access from local and remote students. You definitely want to identify the right tool and become technology savvy as quickly as you can. This workshop introduces the use of online conferencing software Zoom in a shared/hybrid/online statistics course. Various uses of Zoom functions are introduced, and participants can practice in groups to try them out, tailoring for their own courses
Practical Strategies for Developing a Community Focused Blended Learning Project
Get PDFIn this presentation, we will share our experiences developing the Glassboro Memory Mapping project, a collaborative project that incorporates blended learning within both a Cultural Geography Honors Course and an internship program. We will share our experiences (missteps and successes), methods, technologies, and recommended strategies for developing a community focused blended learning project

Get PDFTools of the Master Dyer: Dye Materials in 17th and 18th Century South Asian Painted Cotton Textiles at the Metropolitan Museum of Art
Get PDFThis article reports on an analysis of the dyes used in painted cotton textiles from seventeenth- and eighteenth-century India in the collections of the Metropolitan Museum of Art. The purpose of our study was to identify which red dyes were used to produce the textiles, and to determine whether dyers used cheaper substitutes for indigo as dyestuffs. Our findings preliminarily suggest that chay root (Oldenlandia umbellata L.) was not only a dye material used along the Coromandel Coast, but also traveled through overland trade networks for textile dyeing in central India. The results of this analysis contribute to understandings of regional specializations in dyestuffs. More broadly, this study may provide evidence for the mobility of dye materials and the agency that South Asian dyers had to choose their dye materials
