The global challenge of achieving citizenship for allCitizen Network
Dr Simon Duffy, at the Manawanui International Conference on self-direction, argues that we can work together to advance citizenship for all. He outlines the place that self-directed support has had in advancing citizenship, but also warns of the danger of consumerism. He explores the growing threats to citizenship from scapegoating and meritocracy. He launched an international membership cooperative - Citizen Network.
This conference is aimed at activists who want to discuss our collective way forward. It will be a day for participatory discussion, bot a platform-led event. The organisers have no fixed objective, just an awareness that we are losing. The ruling class adapt their tactics, and we have failed to do so; we will not win if we just repeat the same ways of organising.

Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter 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.
The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.
Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.
2. Learning Intentions
What does being a citizen really mean?
What rights and responsibilities do we have and why do we need
them?
What threats to our society is there and how can being an active
participant in democracy help solve this?
3. Key Terms:
Slush fund, Political donations, Bribery, Watchdog
5. Citizenship
You are a citizen, you have the rights given to you by the constitution of
Australia. You have responsibilities to uphold that allows you these rights
however, and it is important to be able to recognise what your obligations to
your fellow citizens are, and how this creates the society we live in.
6. Big Picture
One major change in the idea of citizenship is whether or not we
have international rights and responsibilities as well. Are we just
Australian, or could we be a member of something much larger, a
member of humanity as a whole?
7. Key Questions
What does being a national citizen mean?
What are my rights and responsibilities as a national citizen and how
does it shape a "civil society"?
What does being an international citizen mean?
What are my rights and responsibilities as an international citizen
and how does it shape an "international community"?
8. The Rights and Responsibilities of an
Australian citizen.
A right is something that is protected in law that gives us protection
or freedom to express ourselves and/or live our lives. We have the
right to go to school and to be protected from many forms of
violence.
A responsibility is something that we, as citizens, must do to continue
to live in our society. Obeying the law is one of the most important
responsibilities we have, if we don't we can be removed from
society and placed in jail.
9. Political Corruption
Political corruption is the use of powers by government officials for
illegitimate private gain, it is a major threat to civil society as it allows
people to disrupt the democratic process for their own personal
gain.
10. Independent Commission Against
Corruption. (ICAC)
In NSW there has been startling revelations about what the elected officials have
been doing, especially when there has been no watchdog making sure they
have been following the rules.
In NSW, there needed an independent tribunal set up to investigate corruption
within NSW. It was called the Independent Commission Against Corruption.
