This document discusses environmental psychology and its focus on public spaces, virtual spaces, and patterns within these environments. It takes a critical stance and examines topics like friction, tension, conflict and dissent within spaces. Environmental psychology aims to be interdisciplinary, using multi-methods and analyzing environments on multiple levels.
This short power point presentation deals with the beginning, scope, domains, concepts, challenges and directions for future research in this relatively new sub-field of Applied Psychology.

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

Normal Labour/ Stages of Labour/ Mechanism of LabourWasim Ak
Normal labor is also termed spontaneous labor, defined as the natural physiological process through which the fetus, placenta, and membranes are expelled from the uterus through the birth canal at term (37 to 42 weeks
The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

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.

Spaces for democracy that require the friction and conflict necessary for freedom and dissent to emerge. If we were to apply this to our professional careers, then we might see that the friction, conflict and dissent might be present in many aspects of our careers and they can be sources for growth. The notion of agonistic space is borrowed from Chantal Mouffe: Some reflections on an Agonistic Approach to the public.IF we want to acknowledge on one hand the permanence of the antagonistic dimension of the conflict while on the other allowing the possibility for its “taming”, we need to envisage a third type of relation, “agonism.” (Mouffe, 2005,p.805) In Making things public: Atmospheres of democracy. Bruno Latour & Peter Weibel, Editors. Cambridge: The MIT Press.The public space is the battleground where different hegemonic projects are confronted, without any possibility of final reconciliation. What democracy politics requires is the fostering of a multiplicity of public spaces of agonistic confrontation.
Environmental psychology an its environments: natural and built. The contrast is between built environments and the kinds of relationships they support versus the natural environments. This distinction however, is one that directs research.
In my trajectory of studies I chose to work with public space, which happen to be a “natural” what I like to call “designed nature” in the city, the built environment. Along these lines I just published a chapter about Central Park and the Aesthetics of Order in Karen Franck and Quentin Stevens book: Loose Space: Diversity and possibility in urban life, where I look at how surveillance, maintenance and beautification are the guiding forces for the improvement of public spaces.Here I address the issue of agonism as a critique to what Central Park is not really providing in its vision for the development of capital projects.
There is yet a third environment, the virtual, which I like to include under development driven by technology. Along these lines I am working on a book chapter that seeks to offer a parallel criticism between the kind of criticism with which urban change was received and the kinds of criticism that also seem to plague the emergence of communication mediated technologies: the loosening of social ties. Also look at the technological lag or the way technologies sometimes do not deliver what they offer. There is another tension in the relationship we have with technologies, is my argument.
In all these subjects from public space to technology, we use many different methods both qualitative and quantitative and seek to find patterns,to inform how space is defined, used, and represented.
But also a critical stance from which to disentagle the way the world is presented to us. An appropriate example will be the work of Donna Haraway with dioramas and her take on patriarchy and the representations of other replicated in the museum displays.
As an interdisciplinary field, Environmental Psychology offer one of the most useful skills: the ability to assume different perspectives and address the complexity of issues that different environments pose for us. The multiple methods and level of analysis that environmental psychology affords is an advantage to be seized. Finding your own place depends on the focus you apply to your area of research. Bringing your original interests to current issues is also a challenge, especially for junior faculty. To have many different networks is also a useful strategy and this can be obtained through the networking conferences provide. The agonistic space I referred to at the beginning of this presentation is not unique to a reading of public space, but in a society increasingly urban and heterogeneous, it is a necessary skill to deal with difference, controversy and dissent in the classroom, in personal relations, with colleagues and other spheres. Thanks for your time.
