Democracy\u27s Shield: Voices of WWII
Get PDFBased on a body of 700 oral history interviews archived at Gettysburg College, Democracy\u27s Shield relates the American military experience through the voices of those who served – from early awareness of the conflict in Europe and East Asia to the dropping of the atomic bomb, victory, occupation and homecoming.
The text is illustrated with images of artifacts from the library\u27s Special Collections.

The North ‘Helicoptering’ into the South: A Meta-Analysis of Parachute Science in Ecological Field Studies
Get PDFScience is increasingly collaborative, but scientists from the Global North (GN) often fail to collaborate with local scientists or to build local scientific capacity when conducting research in the Global South (GS). This practice is known as “parachute science” or “helicopter science”. In addition to ethical concerns, this practice is problematic in the field of ecology because it may reduce the likelihood that the research will inform local resource management and science policy. I hypothesized that, because research has become increasingly collaborative, there would be a decline in parachute science over time. In addition, I hypothesized that papers that included local authors would be more likely to be cited and to be published as open access. I tested these hypotheses using bibliographic data collected from the top 25 journals in the field of ecology. Despite increased interest in and strides towards decolonizing science, parachute science remains an issue in this field, with fewer scientists from the GS (0.43 ± 0.39) included in ecological research focused on their countries than those in the GN (0.73 ± 0.32). The less economically developed a country is (based on the Human Development Index), the less likely that country is to have local authors involved in ecological research on that country (b = 0.98, r2 = 0.16, p \u3c 0.0001). There is some reason to be optimistic, as the proportion of papers that included local scientists was significantly higher in the 2010s than in previous decades (H = 20.51, p \u3e 0.05). In contrast to my hypothesis, I found that GN scientists are more likely than GS scientists to have their work published open access and that involving local scientists does not make it more likely that a paper will be cited. In addition to discussing these results, I will provide recommendations on how ecologists and other scientists can avoid practicing parachute science and pursue more equitable research

Real Talk About OER: The JCCTL OER Grantee Experience (so far!)
No full textThe JCCTL awarded 7 OER Grants to 8 instructors in 2021. Join us to hear from Tasha Gownaris, Marta Maras, Chris Oechler, and Alecea Standlee as they share their experiences remixing and using these custom resources in their fall 2021 classes. Speakers will describe their projects and address the impact of open textbooks on classroom equity and student academic success. There will be plenty of time for questions about the 2021 projects and the current grant opportunity. You may be inspired to apply for the 2022 round of OER Grants
