The landscape of scholarship has changed dramatically with the rise of digital technologies, yet we train scholars as if it's 1983. We, must begin to reimagine scholarly communication for the public good in the digital era. If academe can find a way to be digitally engaged and more fluent in the digital lexicon of the 21st century in which we find ourselves,
then, there is hope I believe for scholars to be a force for social good -- that is, an engaged citizenry & a more democratic, equal and just society.
Public Sociology in the Digital Era (UPenn)Jessie Daniels
In this talk I gave at UPenn on Nov.4, I discuss the ways public sociology and higher ed are changing. And, I offer some examples from the JustPublics@365 project for reimagining scholarly communication in the digital era. For more content, down
May 29, 2008: This presentation discussed the changes that are occurring with library services, resources, and users. These changes are impacting libraries in ways we could not have imagined 5 - 10 years ago. We need to respond to the changes now and not wait for a "better day" in the future.

The rise of global communities of practice
Social Media Activism (SMA) is the use of web-based platforms, applications and technologies to bring about political or social change and has the power to disseminate information rapidly and globally. It has played a central role in recent worldwide movements for change.
We discuss current trends and limitations, the main players and their changing market share, and innovations in the on-line activism arena.
Traditional players like Twitter, Facebook and YouTube are now being challenged by new tools and activist specific spaces.
Security concerns have led to the creation of tools such as Pidder, Crabgrass and OTR.
SMA is not always a force for good. Users must be responsible, evaluate the veracity of information and understand the potential to propagate crime.
Ultimately, SMA can only be a part of the movement for change - it still needs brave people on the streets to challenge the status quo.
Reimagining Scholarly Communication for the Public GoodJessie Daniels
Scholarly communication is no longer exclusively about specialization and exchange only between elite peers. Due to the expansion of digital technologies in the academy, scholars in a range of disciplines are changing the way they produce knowledge, do peer-review, publish, teach and, for some, engage in scholar-activism. This talk gives an overview of some of these changes and presents a brief description of a bold experiment in higher education, JustPublics@365, which is meant to demonstrate how we might reimagine scholarly communication for the public good.
In this overview, I discuss the changing landscape of being a scholar in an era of digital technology, open access publishing, and shifting scholarly practices. At the end are several links to resources for the workshop.

New-form Scholarship and the Public digital humanitiesJesse Stommel
New-form scholarship reconsiders citation and peer-review, while re-imagining the containers and audiences for academic work. Digital platforms, like Twitter, open-access journals, and blogs offer both limitations and possibilities. The public digital humanities is built around networked learning communities, not repositories for content, and its scholarly product is a conversation, one that engages a broad public while blurring the distinction between research, teaching, service, and outreach. In short, the public digital humanities starts with humans, not technologies or tools.
Stand and Unfold Yourself: MOOCs, Networked Learning, and the Digital HumanitiesJesse Stommel
I have Shakespeare tattooed on my forearms. On my right arm is the first line from Hamlet in binary code. On my left arm is the latter half of the second line of Hamlet in hexadecimal code.
The first line of the play, “Who’s there?,” does several things: quite literally, the speaker asks the listener on stage to identify herself; when performed, the line is also spoken to the off-stage or off-screen audience, calling attention to their simultaneous presence both within and outside the world of Shakespeare’s play; finally, it is a deeper question from Shakespeare about the nature of being. The question takes on a new and different set of potential meanings when it is read on the screen of a computer, iPad, Kindle, or smart phone, forcing contemporary readers of Shakespeare to question the nature of their own humanity in the face of rapid technological changes. Just as who we are as humans could be contained and expressed in the language of a theatrical play, now we must also consider who we become when our selves are reduced to the flurry of 1s and 0s that constitute us in our Facebook profiles, Tweets, and text messages. No matter which medium or device we use to encounter a play like Hamlet, no matter what self we bring to the encounter, Shakespeare continues to ask these questions of us, continues to ask who we are, what we see, and how we know.

White Women, Popular Culture & Narratives of AddictionJessie Daniels
This presentation examines the role of white women in two popular television series that feature narratives of addiction.
We conducted a systematic analysis of a narrative television show, Law and Order, and a reality-based show, Intervention, using nine (9) seasons over the same time period (2000-2010). We use this analysis to argue that white women play an important symbolic role in justifying the racist drug war.
Understanding Trump & the Alt-Right MovementJessie Daniels
This is a talk I gave for the Hunter College Sociology Department, November 9, 2016 about the Trump election and the alt-right movement. Most of this is in the text of this related blog post: http://www.racismreview.com/blog/2016/11/09/understanding-trump-moment/
How has the Internet changed the way white supremacy spreads? Has it made it more mainstream? This talk presents research from two studies, before and after the rise of the popular Internet. Findings suggest that the issue is not "recruitment" but a challenge to hard-won moral and legal victories, that turns the clock backward on civil rights.
The Power of Open Scholarship and Open EducationJessie Daniels
This presentation tells the story of my evolution on open access and open educational resources through three stories. I end with some things that scholars who want to share their work more openly can do now.
Deception, Propaganda & Epistemology on the Anti-Social WebJessie Daniels
The Internet enables new discursive strategies that are simultaneously deceptive, difficult to detect and potentially effective at eroding the epistemological foundation of progressive political action. I examine online deception used by white supremacists, anti-abortion activists, and climate change deniers as a way to explore epistemology in the digital era. Specifically, I examine the strategy of cloaked sites. Avowed white supremacists have, since the early days of the popular Internet, owned the URL MartinLutherKing dot org, which appears to be a tribute page but is in fact, a form of white supremacist rhetoric intended to undermine civil rights. Anti-abortion activists use cloaked sites such as Teen Breaks dot com to exhort young women about the dangers of so-called “post –abortion syndrome,” a pro-life rhetorical strategy disguised as a medical diagnosis. And, climate change deniers, often backed by corporate interests such as the coal industry, launch cloaked sites like Americans for Balanced Energy Choices to challenge facts of global warming. I argue that the struggle across a range of issues over “truth,” and “facts” are ultimately epistemological questions that are raised by the digital era.
"Whiteness and Health in Transnational Context"Jessie Daniels
Despite almost two decades of research in the field of whiteness studies, there remains relatively little literature that explores the myriad connections between whiteness and health in the U.S. context. However, scholars working within a transnational, postcolonial framework have begun the work of “re-orienting whiteness” within a more global lens and, within this field, a portion of the work is concerned with how discourses, taxonomies, and technologies of science, health and medicine are used to do the work of whiteness and nation-building in English-speaking countries such as Australia, Canada, New Zealand, and former British colonies along the Pacific Rim
Academic scholarship is being transformed in the digital era. In this talk, meant for grad students and early career researchers, I discuss 10 things you can do to share your research.
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.
Synthetic Fiber Construction in lab .pptxPavel ( NSTU)
Synthetic fiber production is a fascinating and complex field that blends chemistry, engineering, and environmental science. By understanding these aspects, students can gain a comprehensive view of synthetic fiber production, its impact on society and the environment, and the potential for future innovations. Synthetic fibers play a crucial role in modern society, impacting various aspects of daily life, industry, and the environment. ynthetic fibers are integral to modern life, offering a range of benefits from cost-effectiveness and versatility to innovative applications and performance characteristics. While they pose environmental challenges, ongoing research and development aim to create more sustainable and eco-friendly alternatives. Understanding the importance of synthetic fibers helps in appreciating their role in the economy, industry, and daily life, while also emphasizing the need for sustainable practices and innovation.
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.

I want to draw a parallel... use language that they use in journalism to describe the kinds of changes they are dealing with...and apply it to academia. In journalism, they talk of “legacy” news organizations -- such as The Philadelphia Inquirer (now defunct) ~ which was based on print publication and newsstand purchase or home delivery option for economic viabililty. “Legacy” journalism.
We have our own “legacy” model of academia with distinct characteristics...
(Describe...then) I would argue that this is mostly going away, but in piecemeal fashion.

Hybrid scholars = those who are trained in traditional academic scholarship, as well as in digital methods, journalism, activism.
Such “hybrid scholars” require “hybrid training.”
Another initiative within JP365 is the open, online course....
My favorite session...”What is the future of public housing?” with longtime NYCHA housing advocate, Ethel Velez.
We made sure that all the videos, the real-time livestream as well as the edited, archived videos were open to anyone that wanted to view them (without registration).
Likewise, we wanted to make *all* of the readings available to anyone that wanted to read them - even if they didn’t have a CUNY login and even if they weren’t registered for the course on our site.
This sort of commitment to “openness” is one of the major distinctions between our efforts and the large, corporate MOOCs, which among other short-comings, are not very “open.”
Making *all* these readings truly “open” turned out to be an enormous amount of work.
Doing this work was led by our gracious, heroic, rock star librarians: Polly Thistlethwaite + Shawnta Smith.
Incredibly proud of the collaborative effort to make this course truly OPEN.
Taken together, the various elements of the JP365 project seek to reimagine scholarly communication in the digital era for the public good, and this is, fundamentally, how I see public sociology.
It might be useful to think about the way scholarship is changing in the digital era - as a shift from 20th c. models of creating “knowledge products” - to 21st century model of creating “knowledge streams.” With products - you count their impact once - with “knowledge streams” – you can also count various aspects of distribution - such as number of downloads, unique visitors to your blog, number of Twitter followers - which can have a much wider impact.
