The Student Activities Committee (SAC) at Mercyhurst College has several purposes: to provide weekend programming and social, educational, and cultural events for students; to offer activities as alternatives to alcohol consumption; and to work with other student groups to coordinate events. SAC plans various events every weekend during the academic year like movies, games, skating, and more to engage the college community.

Reality and Potential: Expanding the Circle of Scholars of Learningdcambrid
The keynote address at Innovations in the Scholarship of Teaching and Learning at Liberal Arts College, at Wabash College, Crawfordsville, IN, given with Barbara Cambridge on March 6, 2009.
A keynote presentation I made at Reboot Britain and subsequently at the Do Lectures In which I argue that we at the toxic tail end of the industrial, mass-media society. Humanity has been deconstructed to the point of destruction, we are thin sliced into units of production and consumption and patient - humanity is very sick. The singular pursuit or material wealth above all other things worries people like George Soros. It is no surprise that the communications revolution that we are in is about enabling humanity to get back to what makes us human; we are a highly social, collaborative species who find context and meaning through engaging with each other in a rich variety of ways - the rise of the networked society enbables us to renegotiate the power relationships between people, the mass media, consumer culture, organisations and even government.
In the end I argue we need a new language and defining philosophy to help us embrace the non-linear networked world which can also transform our lives.

Transforming Contexts: UC DAAP talk, May 8, 2009Peter Jones
Design Research - Techniques for Transforming the Context.
While the processes and perspectives collectively referred to as “design thinking” have evolved progressively in the last 10 years, research methodology has not demonstrably changed in the same period. Design research has continued to add new methods to its roster of adopted tools, but do methods and tools collectively contribute to a new whole greater than the sum of the methods?
We can observe a movement toward design contexts for organizational and social setting, which have been framed as Design 3.0 and now Design 4.0, by NextD. One way to understand the difference in design applications is by reconsidering the way we understand and make sense of design opportunities in this perspective. What are the appropriate research methodologies that account for observations about the targets of Design 3.0? These might include the larger system within which a service is conceived, the organizational context, social systems with multiple stakeholders, large-scale information ecologies with multiple emergent participants. We continue to study pieces of the problem, with user research, ethnography, participatory design research, smart sampling, trend analysis. But why have we not adopted methods from other disciplines that also contribute within the systems we intend to transform? Peter will present models and perspectives relating research methods and sensemaking approaches that bring the power of contextual understanding and collaborative problem solving to these organizational and social frames of design.
