Women’s History in the Digital World 2015 | Educating Women It seems unbelievable to me that just two weeks ago, many of us were sitting together in Bryn Mawr’s Thomas Library for the second Women’s History in the Digital World conference. As the conference organizer, I watched May 21 and 22 rush by in a blur of nametags, registration lists, sign-making (did anyone not get lost in Thomas?), and friends and colleagues, old and new. With close to 4,000 #WHDigWrld15 tweets to look back on — we’re a prolific bunch, we women’s historians — I’ve since been able to catch up on your conversations from nearly every one of the nineteen concurrent sessions, the keynote address, and the digital showcase. Photograph by Kate McCann for Bryn Mawr College Communications. For those of you who attended the 2015 conference, Greenfield Assistant Director Evan McGonagill and I are hoping to use some momentum to look ahead at how we might continue to serve as a venue for supporting research, and we’d be grateful for any feedback you’d like to share. Hungry for more?
Fixing the Future | How to act according to the future in the 21st century? Manifesto Crisis as catalyst. Risk as renewal. Classical strategic planning is based upon the assumption of a slowly changing future. That assumption is wrong. Climate change, technological innovation, resource shortages, political and social volatility, and more frequent technical and natural disasters point to a newly emerging context for strategic planning. VUCA conditions lead to a shift in how we understand and enact strategic planning. “Seeing the world as a ceaselessly complex and adaptive system… involves changing the role we imagine for ourselves… from architects of a system we can control… to gardeners living in a shifting ecosystem that is mostly out of our control.” VUCA and its consequences demonstrate that complexity and crisis themselves are the new context for governance and design. Dealing with transition can produce fear, resistance, and anxiety. Thankfully, there are a range of useful tools for addressing long term planning under uncertainty.
DIY Special Effects: The 'Matrix' Bullet Time Shot with a Ceiling Fan and a GoPro A lemon splashes into a bowl in a still from the demonstration of this DIY "The Matrix" bullet effect. Mark Rober, who has been experimenting with cameras for some time now on his YouTube channel (even sending one into a gorilla cage to document the animal up close and making a "Scooby-Doo"-style moving-eyes-in-a-portrait surveillance cam), has done something really cool this week. READ MORE: Movie Lovers We Love: Joey Shanks Shows Filmmakers How to Do Special Effects in Their Garage In order to replicate the slow-mo bullet time effect from "The Matrix" with, you know, no FX budget, Rober set up a curved background, two flashlights and a GoPro camera onto an upside down ceiling fan.
Notes for Cyborg Manifesto Theresa M. Senft's reading notes for Donna Haraway's "A Cyborg Manifesto" Below, I attempt to articulate the major ideas of Donna Haraway's "Cyborg Manifesto" for my own pedagogical purposes. While you read, please keep in mind that this is my interpretation of Haraway's text, and that I often re-arrange the order of her examples in my re-presentation of her words. The correct citation for the text I am using is: Haraway, Donna. After a quick Background Information essay, my reading notes follow the section headings in Haraway's original essay. If you wish to cite this material, the correct citation is: Senft, Theresa M. I am interested in your thoughts and additional links for these reading notes. You can jump to any of the following sections, now: Background Information on Donna Haraway and the Manifesto. Background Information on Haraway and her Manifesto. As a materialist critic, Haraway was sympathetic with the impulses that propelled radical feminism. Definition of a Cyborg

Turning orgasm into art The black-and-white video begins with a woman sitting at a table with a book in front of her. She looks into the camera and states her name, the name of the book, and begins to read. It seems she’s overwhelmed by the words — there’s a slight twitch, a smirk, a straightening of the back, a desperate breath in — and she struggles to continue reading. Eventually you realize there is more to this scene than it at first seems — maybe when you notice the ever-so-slight buzzing sound in the background, or maybe not until the moans begin. Either way, before the end of the video there is the unmistakable appearance of an orgasm. But you never see just what has produced it: Is there someone or something under that table? This is the setup of art photographer Clayton Cubitt’s new video series, “Hysterical Literature.” I talked to Cubitt, also known as Siege, by email about his fascinating new project, the line between high and low art, and authentic portraiture in the age of self-branding.
Dualism (philosophy of mind) René Descartes's illustration of dualism. Inputs are passed on by the sensory organs to the epiphysis in the brain and from there to the immaterial spirit. In philosophy of mind, dualism is the position that mental phenomena are, in some respects, non-physical,[1] or that the mind and body are not identical.[2] Thus, it encompasses a set of views about the relationship between mind and matter, and is contrasted with other positions, such as physicalism, in the mind–body problem.[1][2] Ontological dualism makes dual commitments about the nature of existence as it relates to mind and matter, and can be divided into three different types: Substance dualism asserts that mind and matter are fundamentally distinct kinds of substances.[1]Property dualism suggests that the ontological distinction lies in the differences between properties of mind and matter (as in emergentism).[1]Predicate dualism claims the irreducibility of mental predicates to physical predicates.[1]
Glass Bead Platform 21 - Downloaded over one million times! Platform21's Repair Manifesto Platform21’s Repair Manifesto opposes throwaway culture and celebrates repair as the new recycling. The last few months the Manifesto has been downloaded, blogged about and adopted all over the world. The Repair Manifesto is part of the project Platform21 = Repairing for which we sought to make repairing cool again – over a period of five months. Although the project has now ended in Platform21, it doesn't mean we are dropping the repair mentality. So rediscover the joy of fixing things and share your repair knowledge.

As I write this, I understand the sad truth that many people (ie too many of our young) today do not know Wonder Woman: her power, strength, ideals or her significance to women’s empowerment and history. In 1941, a psychologist named William Moulton Marston began writing comic books under a pseudonym. Along with this obsession for the truth, Marston loved Greek mythology and believed in women’s overall higher moral compass. “The next one hundred years will see the beginning of an American matriarchy–a nation of Amazons in the psychological rather than physical sense,” adding that, “women would take over the rule of the country, politically and economically.” Marston, a complicated man, was very much interested in bondage and the relationship between dominance and submission. Marston’s vision ultimately led him to work for DC Comics, home of Superman and Batman. Please and thank you,
