VA Foundation for the Humanities | Gold Rush MASTER
NATHAN: Major funding for BackStory is provided by an anonymous donor, the National Endowment for
the Humanities, the University of Virginia, the Joseph and Robert Cornell Memorial
Foundation, and the Arthur Vining Davis Foundations.
JOANNE: From the Virginia Foundation for the Humanities, this is BackStory.
ED: Welcome to BackStory, the show that explains the history behind today's headlines. I'm Ed
Ayers.
JOANNE: I'm Joanne Freeman.
NATHAN: And I'm Nathan Connolly.
JOANNE: If you're new to the podcast, we're all historians and each week we explore the history of one
topic that's been in the news.
NATHAN: And we're going to start off today in Coloma, California a little town up in the foothills of the
Sierra Nevada. 170 years ago this month, a man named James Marshall was working outside
a sawmill. He saw something about the size of a pat of butter glinting under the water flowing
from the mill. He called to a man named James Brown, who was working on the mill.
MALE SPEAKER: Mr. Marshall called me to him. I went and found him examining the bedrock. He said, "this is a
curious rock, I'm afraid that it will give us some trouble." Said I to him, "What makes you think
so?" He said he had seen the blossom of gold.
JAMES
DELGADO:
That sun-struck speck of gold would spark the biggest mass migration of humanity by sea
since the Crusades.
ED: That's maritime archaeologist James Delgado, and that mass migration he's talking about,
that's, of course, the California Gold Rush. Over the course of the gold rush, more than
300,000 people arrived from all over the world. They were trying to strike it rich, either in the
goldfields or in the new boom-towns springing up across California. And no place saw miners
or change arrive faster than San Francisco. By 1860, it would be a city of 60,000 people. But
when gold was first discovered, it wasn't quite so bustling.
JAMES San Francisco in January of 1848 was a small village perched on the end of a muddy cove,
DELGADO: and a population of about 400 people. It was a sleepy little outpost at the edge of the world.
Between January 1, 1849 and the end of the year, 764 ships just left American ports alone,
and there were probably some 500 more that sailed from everywhere else around the world,
including Hong Kong, Valparaiso, Chile, France, Great Britain, Denmark, Australia, you name
it. Everybody came by sea. And so, as the ships started to come in, at first in the dozens and
then up to 90, to 100 ships in any given week, it just simply overwhelmed San Francisco. One
observer literally felt it was a forest of ships masts.
JOANNE: That forest of mass grew thicker each week. Because, while dozens of new ships were coming
into the harbor, almost none were leaving. Most sailors jumped ship as soon as they arrived,
eager to find gold themselves and captains couldn't find anyone willing to take their places. So
the ships stacked u ...

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

7. The Merchant of Venice
Bassanio:
For the four winds blow in from every coast
Renowned suitors, and her sunny locks
Hang on her temples like a golden fleece;
Which makes her seat of Belmont Colchos' strand,
And many Jasons come in quest of her.
In this play, Portia, the fabulously wealthy heiress of Belmont, is
herself the Golden Fleece, according to her would-be husband,
Bassanio.
