@perc_edu @_nomadics_ @ConversationEDU Fascinating article Percy! Very relevant to Cairns as well. So sad to see the empty space and storefronts when they have so much potential utility.
Sorry if this is a bit belated, but great lecture about posters last Monday. Very informative input from the rest of the class as well, especially from graphic design student Ashley #BA4102
Although the use of social media is controversial in the academic world, it can increase the exposure of one's work to a broader audience. This is especially relevant to academics such as political activists (Lupton, Mewburn and Thomson 2018) #BA4102
From the week 6 readings: The arts and literature cultivate creative, flexible, and open minds, which then enhance innovation. Without innovation, a business culture will lose its momentum. This is why Liberal Arts grads are favoured in many businesses (Nussbaum 2010). #BA4102
It was interesting to read that even though there is some resistance from the scientific community, for example, to the transdisciplinarity between art and science, that Einstein himself appreciated such a crossover (Leavy 2015). #BA4102
Interesting to learn about the complexities and frequent inconsistencies of oral history, the ethical minefield it often poses, and that memory is never truly objective #BA4102
Fascinating lecture for week three, particularly the legal/ethical dynamic. This has direct relevance to one of the themes of my research project and thesis e.g. the legality/ethicality of violating a particular country's sovereignty in order to halt genocide.#BA4102
The arts and humanities are being discarded by many universities. These programs impart the education and skills necessary, not just for "the stability of democratic institutions", but also for the survival of democracy. (Nussbaum 2010). @BA4102
@RealKevinConroy "Tour of Duty" first aired on New Zealand television 30 years ago today (Monday, Oct 17 1988 at 9pm on Channel Two) about a year behind America. It was very popular in NZ. Best show ever! Love you Guys!
