DeAngelo Garner Interview
No full textDeAngelo Garner (Class of 2019; M.S. 2019) was interviewed by Sriya Reddy via the Zoom internet-based video conferencing software on July 11, 2020. He was born in Portland, Oregon and moved to Dallas as a 2-year-old. Mr. Garner grew up in a quiet neighborhood with his older sister and parents in the suburb of Plano. His parents were in the ministry and he is a third-generation pastor child. Therefore, religion plays a large role in his life. His older sister went to SMU and this influenced his decision to go there as well. Mr. Garner went to SMU for both his undergraduate degree with majors in Corporate Communications & Public Affairs (CCPA) and Public Relations at the Meadows School of the Arts, and for his Master's of Science in Business Analytics (MSBA) at the Cox Business School. He describes multiple professors who were his mentors, including Sandra Duhe, Steven Lee, and Owen Lynch. While at SMU, he participated in an internship with Dr. Lynch that addressed food insecurity in Dallas directly with community leaders. He also highlighted the influence of his Spanish professor, Angie Nozaleda; Kim Commerato, from whom he learned hands-on consulting experience; and Ebony Nelson, his academic advisor. Garner lived in the Service House, which he loved, and was in Rotunda Scholars, Mustang Bridge, the Voices of Inspiration Gospel Choir, and Student Senate. He also was a Resident Advisor, orientation leader and student director, along with other activities and jobs on campus. Although he did not experience significant racism himself, Mr. Garner described how racism affected other Black students along with how he was perceived by the SMU Police Department. Two of his biggest challenges were navigating his degree financially, with changing tuition packages, while working one or more jobs, and meeting academic requirements due to a confusing curriculum. He spoke highly of the MSBA program, during which he worked as a graduate assistant in Residence Life. He entered the job market during the COVID-19 pandemic and, at the time of the interview, had started a consulting business in conflict management as well as brand/content management, and moved to Portland

Motivation and the learningscape of design
No full textDesigners, engineers, architects and artists are trained to deal with conflicting requirements and opportunities; in fact, their ways of investigating problems and prototyping ideas are frequently aimed at exposing hidden but influential conflict, bringing conflict out into the open. To achieve this requires a familiarity with a multidimensional landscape of design and designing. It’s a landscape that has similarities with the environment of some digital games in that it is not one landscape but many. One of these landscapes can be characterized as an arena for conflicting forces that drive design. Another concerns the skills and knowledge with which designers undertake design activity. But there is a third and neglected landscape concerning the understanding and development of motivation in design. This chapter is about learning across this three-dimensional landscape or ‘learningscape’ and particularly the importance of motivation

Steven Pinker on language and thought
No full textEducação Superior::Linguística, Letras e Artes::LinguísticaThis video presents an exclusive preview of Steven Pinker's book: the stuff of thought. The author looks at language and how it expresses what goes on in our minds and how the words we choose communicate much more than we realize. For Steven Pinker, the brilliance of the mind lies in the way it uses just two processes to turn the finite building blocks of our language into infinite meanings. The first is metaphor: we take a concrete idea and use it as a stand-in for abstract thoughts. The second is combination: we combine ideas according to rules, like the syntactic rules of language, to create new thoughts out of old one
