An interview with Gerald Cupchik: Equity, diversity and inclusion
No full textHow should we address equity, diversity, and inclusion issues in the ‘Post-COVID era’? Some students just want the degree, whereas others miss the social intimacy of classroom experiences. In this interview, we address a dissociation between university administrations with top-down, ideologically driven agendas, and the lived experiences of students. Students become immersed in diversity by participating in classes based on shared interests that cut across backgrounds and reflect experiential learning; moving from ‘cliques to networks.’ Inclusion cannot be mandated by the university and formally required of lecturers. Rather, it reflects a student’s feeling of belonging based on acceptance by others in the classroom setting and this is something that lecturers can foster. Equity is a more delicate theme tied to past exclusions that touch many communities. Gatekeepers have historically excluded students based on race or cultural affiliation. Attempts to redress this imbalance for specific communities can forget the historical exclusion of others. My approach favors ‘inclusive authenticity,’ whereby students are in touch with their heritage, and ‘reflective awareness,’ a sensitivity to the political dynamics that surround them. We can move from ‘surface to depth,’ both as institutions and individuals by fostering critical thinking and listening to the voices of students

Psychological Meme Science
No full textMemes are ideas, often represented using media, with the special characteristics of being repeatable and adaptable. Memes impact our lives in material ways, influencing political systems and propagating the stories our shared culture is built from. When propagated via online social networks, the massive scale at which memes operate is without precedent. However, the meme does not act on its own; it is only by human activity that memes are created and proliferated. This dissertation will tackle a series of research questions surrounding the scientific study of humans and memes from a psychological perspective.
This work begins with the observation that science is a social enterprise and scientific ideas spread as memes. The first chapter of this dissertation applies social network methods to the global scientific collaboration network in order to build a map of beliefs about systems of humans and memes. The next chapter examines a hierarchical democratic phenomenon - the online campaign preceding an election - in order to determine the appropriate analytical scope for investigating complex systems of political memes. The final chapter presents a method for translating regression models from the psychological literature into computational social simulations using agent-based models. A computational social simulation of urban legends is then built, replicating a study from the literature and then extending it to examine the effect of social network topology upon the propagation of urban legends.
Humans and memes, together, constitute a complex system that offers new methodological tools to study the human condition.Ph.D
The Social Transmission of User-generated Memes
No full textThe popular concept of viral media is like the flu: once unleashed, it naturally infects all your friends. This work suggests that viral impact may not be determined by the content alone but also by the content’s creator as part of the Viral Feedback Loop. Participants interacted with a type of online meme called an image macro which has historically been shared virally. Participants made their own User-Generated Content (UGC) with Memelab, an image macro builder written for this experiment. Participants then shared their UGC online, which was longitudinally monitored to create a behavioural measure of viral impact. When sharing with a friend, participants’ predictions of how much their UGC would be liked was positively associated with viral impact. Intent to Share was modelled as a function of image macro content features and participant responses, which was then modelled with an Agent-based computer simulation.MAS
