I wonder if it is even ethical to enlist affiliation to the university if my funding comes directly from a funding institute, I'm buying and using my own hardware and software (down to the HDMI cable and mouse), and the data is also coming directly from another organization. The coffee and food is also off my own pocket.
The only things they provide are electricity (computer, coffee), water (coffee), and internet.
@Mehrad@academicchatter are you managing the research funding account? Did you get support in grant writing? Do you get post-grant award support? Are you going to pay open-access publishing costs? What about office space?
"The American Studies Association writes to offer support and solidarity to scholars, faculty, students, and staff around the world who are facing elimination, termination, suspension, and sanctions due to their advocacy for Palestinian freedom, their location in Gazan universities, their criticism of Zionism, their solidarity with resistance to occupation, and their condemnation of genocide, militarism, and war.
"The American Studies Association affirms its abolitionist principles, its commitments to intellectual criticism of war, empire, and elimination, its defense of insurgent knowledge production, and its solidarity with Palestinians."

I wonder if the research done by community should be available to be parsed by an AI.
Maybe it would be better just open for humans.
At Columbia University and elsewhere, law enforcement is displaying a growing militarization when it's sent in against protesters, according to a criminal justice historian
I wrote an article for Unsustainable Magazine that is based around my dissertation research findings about what it means to wish for systems overhaul. The consequences of that desire are what I consider now in this article. It gets a bit personal; I am embedded within my own specific context and my observations come out of that situation.
@arielkroon Great article! One of the biggest secular apocalyptic movements of modern times is the transhumanists/TESCREALS and yes, I've seen much glee at punishment and unironic advocacy of genocide in those communities. Apocalypse for thee, utopia for me! Eco-doomerists and some degrowthers (not all) have shades of apocalyptic desire as well.
All of which just means we need more solarpunk stories for people to reorient their desires towards things worth fighting for.
What will change for academic institutions as the climate crisis is increasingly not some far-off future, but happening now? And are we preparing our students for these uncomfortable conversations?
Well, generally the best cooling shelters for cattle (and sheep, and just about any living being for that matter) are trees ;) This is why agroforestry is one of the fields that I think we should be investigating- or one of the reasons, there are a lot of good reasons to stimulate agroforestry in terms of sustainability. It is gaining attention in the EU (though still very niche by comparison to intensive livestock farming).
As part of my dissertation project, I'm aiming to collect a large research sample to help construct a validated measure on Teacher Attitudes towards Multilingualism.
If you are a teacher (primary, secondary, tertiary education), and you teach multilingual students, could I please ask for 10 minutes of your time?
Thread 1/5: Since plagiarism's being discussed again, I wanted to give an example of just how much prestige higher ed institutions do not care about academic misconduct unless someone they actually care about is forcing them to pay attention to it.
