The document discusses a field visit and visioning exercise conducted in Worcestershire, UK to explore opportunities and challenges at the rural-urban fringe (RUF). Participants with community and agency backgrounds shared their perspectives on the past, present and future of the RUF from three different viewpoints along a transect.

Education plays an important role in forming gender roles as teachers often categorize behaviors into masculine and feminine, which can lead to stereotyping. Different cultures view gender differently. Boys and girls also learn differently, with boys often preferring competitive environments while girls cooperative environments. Gender is performatively constructed through repetition of norms. Early childhood play is closely related to developing heterosexual relationships. Hegemonic discourses help define normal gender performances and regulate correct gender expression. Gender equality policies in education must consider differences within gender groups like social class and culture.
The document discusses the evolution of computing from the earliest general purpose computer (ENIAC) created in 1946 to the rise of personal computers in the 1990s and the World Wide Web. It then outlines how mobile devices and cloud computing have made information accessible from anywhere. The cloud provides data storage and sharing across devices with easy updates. Common cloud services include IaaS, PaaS and SaaS. The cloud offers advantages like access from any device and freedom from software updates. However, concerns include data security, access during outages, and privacy of information in the cloud. The future may see education and services fully integrated into the cloud with new technologies like mobile payments replacing physical wallets.
The document discusses how a systems thinker would view rising tuition costs. It provides an example scenario where two friends, Louise and Karen, are discussing increasing tuition.

The document references several sources on systems thinking concepts.

Data Management and Applications at SOCIBDavid March
SOCIB is a marine research infrastructure located in the Balearic Islands that integrates observing systems, numerical forecasting, and data management. It aims to provide open and quality-controlled data to support science and society. The data management system implements a full data lifecycle from ingestion to distribution. Applications have been developed to visualize deployments, gridded model output, coastal maps, and real-time beach and ocean data for researchers and the public. Further work will focus on managing increasing data volumes and developing new applications.
