What Can One Person Do?
Secondary Research Project
Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to create a shareable educational
resource about a particular structural inequality. In it, you will 1) describe the structural
inequality and 2) recommend at least 1 specific action people can take to help disrupt,
dismantle, or otherwise work against that structure. There are 3 major components to this
project: the resource itself, a 2-3 page reflection piece, and a Works Cited. Instructions
for each can be found below.
In doing this assignment, you’ll get the chance to:
• Synthesize information and ideas you’ve come across in the
readings, conversations, and assignments.
• Reflect on how education can be a crucial component of being an
active, engaged member of your community and of society as a
whole.
• Produce a concrete resource that you can put out into the world
about your topic.
Educational Resource Instructions
For the resource itself, I’m giving you a fair amount of freedom. You have to create an
educational resource, but the exact form it takes is really up to you. Some options people
have done in the past:
• Write an editorial/article about your topic that could be submitted
to a newspaper or other periodical. (You don’t have to actually
submit it.)
• Create a brochure about your topic that can be printed and
distributed.
• Create a short zine about your topic that can be printed and
distributed.
• Produce a short podcast or video about your topic.
• Create a blog post (with links for more info) about your topic.
• Create a website about your topic.
• Create an educational board game or video game about your topic.
• Something else that you come up with (and get approved by me)
While you have a lot of freedom for the form of the project, there are certain criteria that
all projects must meet. To get full credit your resource must:
• Be targeted towards a particular audience (likely a particular
group of stakeholders for the issue)—Think about whom you want
to reach. Who is likely to care about the issue if they learned about
it? Who might be willing and able to take action?
o Your target audience should influence the form and
language of the project. For example, you probably
wouldn’t create a video game if your target audience is
Idaho congresspeople (or maybe you would?).
• Contain the following components
1. A short background on the situation. Explain what is going
on, how it’s unequal, and why we should care about it.
2. A description of the communities that are most impacted by
the issue and how they are impacted. This is related to the
previous component; one way to make people care about an
issue is to show them the harm it is causing to a particular
group of people.
3. A description of at least 1 important cultural story or belief
that helps sustain the conditions of inequality. As Schwalbe
argues in Ch. 4—Arresting the Imagination, cul.

HCD 660 – Foundations of Human Capital DevelopmentDefiJeanmarieColbert3
HCD 660 – Foundations of Human Capital Development
Define HRD
• HRD is “a process of developing and unleashing expertise
for the purpose of improving performance” (Swanson &
Holton, 2009, p. 99).
• HRD is “the systematic and planned practice designed by an
organization to enhance employee knowledge, skills,
abilities, and attitudes” (Van Tiem et al., 2012, p. 325).
Points of Agreement
• Believe in human potential
• Focus on improvement
• links learning and performance
• Finding solutions and solving problems
• Opportunities over challenges
• Systems thinking
• Being on the same page
HRD World-Views
• HRD and its environment
• Learner perspective – Adragogy
• Knowles (why, self-directing,
experience, motivated, contextual)
• Organizational perspective
• Global context
• Change isn’t slowing down
HRD and Its
Environment
Human Resource Development
Core Beliefs
1. Organizations are human-made entities that
rely on human expertise to establish and
achieve their goals.
2. Human expertise is developed and maximized
through HRD processes and should be applied
for the long-term and/or short-term benefits of
the sponsoring organization and the individuals
involved.
3. HRD professionals are advocates of
individual/group work process, and
organizational integrity.
Reflection…
• Of the three HRD core beliefs presented, which one is
closest to your beliefs and why?
• What is it about HRD that interests you the most?
Threats to Excellent Practice
• Turning the HRD process into
an event
• The rate of change
• Critical characteristics of key
players
How can we turn these threats into
opportunities?
• Turning the HRD process into
an event
• The rate of change
• Critical characteristics of key
players
Human Capital Theory
• Human Capital Theory --
emphasizes that human capital--
the composition of employee skills,
knowledge, and abilities--is a
central driver of organizational
performance when the return on
investment exceeds labor costs.
So, why do we
even care
about theory?
• Helps us to explain complex phenomenon in our everyday life/work.
• Lots of theories….. List some in the chat
Human Capital Development – the sweet spot
Sweet Spot
Human Capital Development – not just books on a shelf
Theory
Theories are constructed in order to
explain
predict and
master phenomena
(e.g. relationships, events, or the behavior).
In many instances we are constructing models of
reality.
A theory makes generalizations about
observations and consists of an interrelated,
coherent set of ideas.

Instructions
Regardless of the career that you pursue or are currently pursuing, it is likely that the action of securing the resource of friends and professional acquaintances will be as valuable as any other action you could take.
Part 1:
First, take some time to reflect on your career and/or future career. If this includes more than one career path, then focus on the one that you are most concerned with in the long term. This might include working in a specific field, starting a business, or any other pursuit you are currently working on or plan to work on in the future. The choice behind the pursuit you will focus on is a personal choice.
Write two pages on why this particular career and/or pursuit is your choice. Reflecting on the why behind your wish to achieve a goal will help to make it feel more tangible to you. This exercise of reflection should serve to remind you of your motivation and will be a good thing to refer back to if your motivation ever gets low. The "why" behind a pursuit is oftentimes more important than the "how" of a pursuit. If you have a strong enough "why," you will find the "how."
Part 2:
For the second part of this assignment, make a list of the types of people that could help you in your career and why those people would be good contacts to have. This list should be general in nature, meaning you should list professions or names of positions within companies rather than specific names.
You should list general fields or positions like accountants, attorneys, marketing managers, CEOs, etc., rather than any specific names. Be sure to list at least five professions or types of people.
Part 3:
Next, consider which social media platforms you could use to make personal contacts that could help you in your pursuit along with why and how you could use each. Ensure that the platform and your use of it line up with the specifics behind your chosen future goal.
Describe at least three different platforms you could use, along with why you would use it, and how you would use it for each of the three.
· Platform #
· Why?
· How?
· Platform #
· Why?
· How?
· Platform #
· Why?
· How?
Part 4:
Finally, put all of this together and take action. The next part of this assignment is where you can make a big difference in your grade as well as in your real life pursuit of a goal!
Reach out through the avenue of social media and make contact with three people that you do not currently know. Describe who you contacted and why .
Content governance is where the “rubber hits the road” for creating better content in a sustainable fashion. The shifts created by content strategy go beyond the web team, IT, and subject-matter experts to touch Human Resources, Legal, and the organization’s senior management. This is key to digital transformation.
In this workshop, participants will explore where they fit on a content governance maturity scale, explore a variety of models, and identify which model will be most successful for their organizations.
This presentation covers what it takes to set up content governance, as well as what is required to maintain and evolve it.

HCD 660 – Foundations of Human Capital Development
Define HRD
• HRD is “a process of developing and unleashing expertise
for the purpose of improving performance” (Swanson &
Holton, 2009, p. 99).
• HRD is “the systematic and planned practice designed by an
organization to enhance employee knowledge, skills,
abilities, and attitudes” (Van Tiem et al., 2012, p. 325).
Points of Agreement
• Believe in human potential
• Focus on improvement
• links learning and performance
• Finding solutions and solving problems
• Opportunities over challenges
• Systems thinking
• Being on the same page
HRD World-Views
• HRD and its environment
• Learner perspective – Adragogy
• Knowles (why, self-directing,
experience, motivated, contextual)
• Organizational perspective
• Global context
• Change isn’t slowing down
HRD and Its
Environment
Human Resource Development
Core Beliefs
1. Organizations are human-made entities that
rely on human expertise to establish and
achieve their goals.
2. Human expertise is developed and maximized
through HRD processes and should be applied
for the long-term and/or short-term benefits of
the sponsoring organization and the individuals
involved.
3. HRD professionals are advocates of
individual/group work process, and
organizational integrity.
Reflection…
• Of the three HRD core beliefs presented, which one is
closest to your beliefs and why?
• What is it about HRD that interests you the most?
Threats to Excellent Practice
• Turning the HRD process into
an event
• The rate of change
• Critical characteristics of key
players
How can we turn these threats into
opportunities?
• Turning the HRD process into
an event
• The rate of change
• Critical characteristics of key
players
Human Capital Theory
• Human Capital Theory --
emphasizes that human capital--
the composition of employee skills,
knowledge, and abilities--is a
central driver of organizational
performance when the return on
investment exceeds labor costs.
So, why do we
even care
about theory?
• Helps us to explain complex phenomenon in our everyday life/work.
• Lots of theories….. List some in the chat
Human Capital Development – the sweet spot
Sweet Spot
Human Capital Development – not just books on a shelf
Theory
Theories are constructed in order to
explain
predict and
master phenomena
(e.g. relationships, events, or the behavior).
In many instances we are constructing models of
reality.
A theory makes generalizations about
observations and consists of an interrelated,
coherent set of ideas.

Instructions
Regardless of the career that you pursue or are currently pursuing, it is likely that the action of securing the resource of friends and professional acquaintances will be as valuable as any other action you could take.
Part 1:
First, take some time to reflect on your career and/or future career. If this includes more than one career path, then focus on the one that you are most concerned with in the long term. This might include working in a specific field, starting a business, or any other pursuit you are currently working on or plan to work on in the future. The choice behind the pursuit you will focus on is a personal choice.
Write two pages on why this particular career and/or pursuit is your choice. Reflecting on the why behind your wish to achieve a goal will help to make it feel more tangible to you. This exercise of reflection should serve to remind you of your motivation and will be a good thing to refer back to if your motivation ever gets low. The "why" behind a pursuit is oftentimes more important than the "how" of a pursuit. If you have a strong enough "why," you will find the "how."
Part 2:
For the second part of this assignment, make a list of the types of people that could help you in your career and why those people would be good contacts to have. This list should be general in nature, meaning you should list professions or names of positions within companies rather than specific names.
You should list general fields or positions like accountants, attorneys, marketing managers, CEOs, etc., rather than any specific names. Be sure to list at least five professions or types of people.
Part 3:
Next, consider which social media platforms you could use to make personal contacts that could help you in your pursuit along with why and how you could use each. Ensure that the platform and your use of it line up with the specifics behind your chosen future goal.
Describe at least three different platforms you could use, along with why you would use it, and how you would use it for each of the three.
· Platform #
· Why?
· How?
· Platform #
· Why?
· How?
· Platform #
· Why?
· How?
Part 4:
Finally, put all of this together and take action. The next part of this assignment is where you can make a big difference in your grade as well as in your real life pursuit of a goal!
Reach out through the avenue of social media and make contact with three people that you do not currently know. Describe who you contacted and why .
Content governance is where the “rubber hits the road” for creating better content in a sustainable fashion. The shifts created by content strategy go beyond the web team, IT, and subject-matter experts to touch Human Resources, Legal, and the organization’s senior management. This is key to digital transformation.
In this workshop, participants will explore where they fit on a content governance maturity scale, explore a variety of models, and identify which model will be most successful for their organizations.
This presentation covers what it takes to set up content governance, as well as what is required to maintain and evolve it.

Social Bonds
Attachment: to parents, teachers, peers
Commitment: to conventional lines of action
◦ Educational goals
Involvement: with activities that promote the interests of society
◦ Homework or after school programs
Beliefs: acceptance of societies values
◦ Belief that law are fair
Hirshi’s Hypothesis was that Stronger the bonds = less delinquency & weaker bonds = increased
risk of delinquency
Scientific Research shows support:
◦ Hirshi conducted a self-report survey on 4,077 high school students in CA.

Critics of Hirschi’s Bond theory
Criticism of social bond theory
◦ The influence of friendship
◦ Drug abuser stick together
◦ Failure to achieve
◦ Failing in school = few legitimate means
◦ Deviant parents and peers
◦ Gang member also create social bonds.
◦ Mistaken causal order
◦ Deviance may brake parental bonds
◦ Hirschi also counters the critics
◦ These bonds are weak and only created out of need – drug abuser will turn on one another.

◦ Most deviants also hold value in social norms.
◦ Must use tech. of neutralization to drift in and out of criminality.
Observation of neutralization:
◦ Criminals sometimes voice guilt over their illegal acts.
◦ Offenders frequently respect and admire honest, law abiding people (entertainers, & preachers).
◦ Criminal define whom they can victimize
◦ Criminals are not immune to the demands of conformity.
◦ They go to school, family functions and church.

Delinquency and Drift
Techniques of neutralization:
◦ Denial of Responsibility
◦ Not my fault - accident
◦ Denial of Injury - No one hurt
◦ Denial of the Victim - Victim is no saint
◦ Condemnation of the Condemner
◦ Everyone has done worse things
◦ Appeal to Higher Loyalties
◦ Couldn’t let my friends down
◦ Studies show most adolescents know when they deviate
◦ So they use neutralization techniques to justify their behavior.
◦ Critics: Many adolescents have no empathy.
◦ Crimes are most often intraracial and within familiar areas.

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
