  • Johanna Drucker on digitally-based scholarship
    UCLA Digital Humanities & Media Studies. Many of the early approaches to digital humanities have come of age as substantial repositories and archives have become established. Early pioneering projects in editing, collections development, and visualization are now accepted parts of digital humanities' research. But huge challenges -- cultural and intellectual as much as technical -- remain if the humanities are to help shape the next generation of scholarly tools for research and pedagogy. This talk describes a work in progress, I.nterpret, that aims to engage humanistic concerns in a digital environment.

response_ability: Robyn Waxman: Designers Accord Toolkit on Sustainability

Global Summit on Education and Sustainability

Toolkit so that design educators can go forward.

8 topics over a period of two days. An iterative process that result is something way too complex and rich, but rather than something clear. They realized they were talking about the future of education.

Understandings that came from the Summit (but not in the direction that they had hope -which was to create a toolkit.)

What they discovered was that there was no common language. Not talking about sustainability, but using it as the DNA -- as an understood.

Existing toolkits:

IDEO, Ogilvy Earth, Project H

Realized that a prescribed toolkit wasn't the answer, but one that could change and grow... but be printed (because it was funded by Sappi). Idea about allowing for interations. There's lots of knowledge but what to do with it all. To focus all the knowledge in some direction. 

Feeling that need is for distributed intelligence that goes beyond our lifetime.
