Big Data Digital Humanitarianism Lightning TalkRyan Burns
Big Data and Digital Humanitarianism are becoming intertwined in ways that *necessitate* we as geographers ask new questions. This is a 5-minute lightning talk I gave at the 2014 AAG, as part of the series of Big Data lightning talks organized by Andy Shears, Joe Eckert, and Jim Thatcher.
This document promotes the Tech Girls Movement and encourages girls to see themselves as digital humanitarians and tech superheroes. It provides information about digital humanitarianism and crisis mapping projects. It also announces a competition for school girls to pitch technology solutions to social problems. Overall, the document celebrates girls in STEM and calls on them to unlock their superpowers in technology fields to make positive social change.
This document provides background information on Doctors Without Borders (Medecins Sans Frontieres) and summarizes the book "Hope in Hell" by Dan Bortolotti. It outlines MSF's history of providing independent medical aid around the world since 1971. While MSF aims to treat patients impartially according to medical ethics, some critics argue they cannot remain completely neutral and are sometimes used as political tools. The book examines individual volunteers' experiences and serves as a reminder that humanitarianism is a compassionate response to human suffering.

This 3-sentence summary provides the high-level information about the document:
The document discusses emerging technologies that will have a global social impact on health and humanitarianism, with the learning objectives being to make students familiar with cutting-edge advances in technology and how they may disrupt health and humanitarianism. It explores several future technologies such as health apps, electronic self-testing instruments, ingestible imaging devices, bionics, artificial intelligence physicians, tattooed sensors, and exponential growth trends that will influence these fields in coming decades.

Assessing and Finding Sources for Human Rights & HumanitarianismNicoleBranch
This document discusses how to assess and find sources for human rights and humanitarianism topics. It begins by distinguishing between different types of sources like scholarly, popular, trade/practitioner, and reference sources. It then provides descriptions of each source type's author, audience, purpose, and references. The document guides how to identify keywords for a topic, find relevant databases to search, and search and refine results. It uses the example topic of how the Flint, Michigan water crisis reflects environmental racism to demonstrate defining, refining, and focusing a topic as well as identifying keywords.

Svend-Jonas Schelhorn at the seminar: Digital Humanitarianism and Networked Crisis Support, Bergen Academy of Art and Design, Bergen, Norway, 19th October 2013
Digital Humanitarians is a wide description of individuals and NGOs using digital tools for collaboration, mapping, analyzing or data-mining for humanitarian purposes and in humanitarian contexts. They typically engage for humanitarian crises, natural disasters, democracy projects, human rights monitoring or disaster preparedness. There are digital tools, procedures and ethical questions they all have in common.
This document lists 5 organizations that operate in the Nyarugusu refugee camp founded in 2015 to empower the community. The organizations are: Community Empowerment Network which is a union of 5 organizations; Union for Progress and Deliverance of Humanitarians which provides microfinance for women; Dafi Students Organization in Tanzania which offers vocational training; Bureau du Developpement et des Oeuvres Social which focuses on small agricultural gardens to fight hunger; and Non violence Communication Trainings which provides conflict resolution and peace training.
More Than a Profile: The Ethics of Digital Storytelling in Study AbroadCIEE
Students post, tweet, and blog about their experiences overseas, and these narratives contribute to the growing popularity of study abroad. We must reinvent our pedagogy to adapt to this changing world and examine the stories that inspire student travel. How might they collide with the expectation of health equity and sustainable service? How can we promote self-reflection and cultural humility? An interdisciplinary panel – representing film studies, anthropology, and public health – will place the current debate in the context of postcolonial narratives, describe the potential for self-reflection, and offer a sample technique for using digital storytelling in trip preparation and in-class learning.
This document discusses the parallels between humanitarianism and naturopathic medicine. It notes that students of naturopathic medicine, called Boucherians, find ways to serve locally through initiatives like a community herb garden and globally through medical brigades to countries like Nicaragua and Haiti. It also emphasizes that optimal service requires optimal personal wellness and discusses how chronic stress can negatively impact physical and mental health. The document promotes self-care and restoration through practices like meditation, yoga, massage and nutrition to balance the effects of stress and maintain well-being. It frames naturopathic treatment as focusing on individualized and holistic care through lifestyle and prevention strategies.
The Digital Humanitarian Moment: New Practices, Knowledge Politics, and Phila...Ryan Burns
Digital humanitarianism alters how data is collected and represented in humanitarian responses. It emerges at the intersection of new mapping technologies, practices, and philanthropy-capitalism. Specifically:
1. Social media allows needs to be crowdsourced, but these needs must be "tamed" and filtered for operational use.
2. Needs are represented to construct "needy subjects" through place-based and temporal framings to justify interventions.
3. It enables further private sector involvement through philanthropy-capitalism, which depoliticizes humanitarianism and naturalizes tradeoffs.
Digital humanitarianism is shaping the humanitarian sector and broader political and economic relationships through knowledge politics around data collection and
This is a slide created for a better understanding on the topic of humanitarianism and volunteerism. This include the definition of humanitarianism and volunteerism, what is and what is not humanitarianism and volunteerism, the difference and similarity between both and the example of each.
This document summarizes the development of American Romanticism from the late 18th century to the early 19th century. It discusses the rise of American Romanticism due to factors like the nation's fast development, growth of journalism, and foreign influences. The document also outlines historical background, technological advances, reform movements, characteristics of Romantic literature including transcendentalism, imaginative works, free expression of emotion, and nationalism. It concludes with the end of the Romantic period after the Civil War and emergence of realism and modernism in American literature.
The document discusses how data and technology are transforming humanitarian relief efforts. It explores how data generated by devices connected to the Internet of Things can help monitor crises, plan missions, and coordinate responses. It examines how the design of platforms for sharing and analyzing humanitarian data can help overcome challenges to make the most of this data. And it considers how data and analytics are impacting every stage of the humanitarian project cycle from assessing needs to measuring impact.
A talk given as part of a course in Securitisation of Development at the Institute of Social Studies, The Hague. You are welcome to use this, share it and I hope you find it a useful summary. Since this is part of a larger course, it needs to be supplemented by readings, not all of which are included in the links given.
Everyone can make a difference for their own community and other communities around the world - but it can be daunting to get more involved if you do not know where to start. This reading list is a slideshow presentation by Bryan Schaaf.
The Nomad Foundation has partnered with Rotary Clubs since 2005 to implement over $500,000 in grants to help nomadic communities in northern Niger. This includes founding the first Rotary Club in the Sahara desert region and numerous impactful projects providing health services, education, water access, and economic opportunities. Current efforts focus on expanding the Tamesna Center for Nomadic Life, which centralizes essential services and education for nomads on their annual migration route. A district grant is seeking commitments to build new classrooms and further continuing education opportunities that will benefit thousands of lives by promoting stability in the crucial but underserved region.
