Forum 7: Media, Perception and Behavior: Thinking in Terms of Public Health
No full textIn this lecture, Dr. Brian Primack, Dean of the College of Education and Health Professions, takes us through a crash course in public health statistics. He shows us how complex behavioral and environmental factors combine to create a contradictory picture of what the pandemic means for global mortality. Car accidents and air pollution are down but smoking and depression are up, and we cannot yet say how the interaction of all of these and other factors will play out. Dean Primack gives a good overview of what improved testing methods and rates will and won’t tell us and then issues a public health warning about the ways in which news and social media consumption may be detrimental to our mental health during the present crisis

A Relational Theory of Authorship
No full textOver the years we have heard the debate as to whether authorship emanates solely from the individual or from the cultural context in which they inhabit. Writers such as Professors Woodmansee, Jaszi and Cohen have asserted a cultural theory of authorship. On one hand, there is the liberal philosophy of autonomous creativity evidenced in the notion of a "romantic author" (after the period known as romanticism). On the other hand we have more of a communitarian notion – that the author acts in a cultural context and authorship to some extent must be linked back to the social existence within which the author is situated.\ud
\ud
This article argues that for too long we have privileged the notion of the romantic author so much so that it is hard to argue for any other approach to copyright than one that focuses primarily on the author and their assignees such as publishers or associated commercialising agents such as recording companies. Furthermore it suggests that this approach fits awkwardly with the burgeoning networked society fuelled by the Internet to the point where it threatens innovation and the potential for productivity. To this end the article argues that we should more explicitly acknowledge the contribution of culture to authorship and more so the role of each and every individual in assisting and nurturing that authorship, as well as the contribution of users to creativity through consumptive, productive and transformative use of copyright works

Author Interview with Brian Klaas: how Can We Fix Democracy?
No full textThe end of the Cold War in the early 1990s saw democracy surge as former Soviet autocracies transitioned to democratic systems and democracy spread in Africa and Latin America. But the past decade has seen a reverse in this trend, with authoritarianism and dictatorships making a comeback around the world. In this interview with Peter Carrol on his new book, The Despot’s Accomplice: How the West is Aiding and Abetting the Decline of Democracy, Dr Brian Klaas (LSE Department of Government) argues that Western powers are partly to blame for these developments, and offers a number of solutions to halt the decline of democracy around the world
