Lecture delivered by Wendy Kline, PhD (Dema G. Seelye Chair in the History of Medicine in the Department of History, Purdue University) on March 4, 2015 about her book, "Coming Home: Medicine, Midwives, and the Transformation of Birth in Late-Twentieth-Century America."
Connecting more people to the data they need encourages greater action on results. Join NSSE staff, Jillian and Jim, in this interactive webinar to discuss strategies for connecting NSSE data and results to various units on campus. This webinar will introduce NSSE's new Campuswide Mapping resource and highlight practical approaches to engaging various campus audiences with existing and customized topical reports. We will share examples and exchange ideas for new ways to share NSSE results more widely on your campus. NSSE webinars are interactive, providing participants the opportunity to ask questions and offer suggestions via a text chat. We suggest a group viewing as a convenient way to participate with your colleagues and to facilitate cross-campus conversations about using NSSE results.
“I haven't really seen progression in supported employment since the 1990s,” recalls Connie Ferrell. She was hired as a field coordinator for the new Indiana Employment Initiative in 1992. In her 2015 interview, Connie explains why she feels supported employment plateaued in the state after the 1990s. One theory is the loss of block money to be creative in reaching individuals. It was also a time when Indiana moved from hourly billing to result-based funding. Connie sees stagnation in employment across the country. She feels disability service agencies have pulled away from people with the most intense support needs because they're afraid the agencies will lose money. Somebody once told her that when they saw what could be done, they stopped thinking about reasons why it couldn’t and found a million reasons why they had to. Connie states, “I think unless that happens, supported employment looks like a risky business.”
Content strategy is an emerging area of expertise related to user experience design work, defined as ‰ÛÃplanning for the creation, delivery, and governance of useful, usable content.‰Û This session will provide a brief overview of content strategy concepts and describe how a well-articulated content strategy can enable a better user experience through thinking holistically and strategically about web content -- in other words, in stewardship. We'll also present a brief case study of how, through implementing these tools and processes, our small department was empowered to stop simply chasing web pages around and instead invest our efforts into crafting a user-centric, sustainable web presence for the IUB Libraries (http://libraries.indiana.edu).
Scientists working on climate change and other environmental issues often speak of the risk of “crying wolf,” concerned about losing credibility if the threats they are documenting do not turn out to be as serious as current research suggests. However, the opposite worry—that they might fiddle while Rome burns—is hardly ever mentioned. Yet from the standpoint of social responsibility, understating a threat might be worse than overstating it, so why are scientists more concerned with losing credibility than with failing to adequately warn against risk?
Moreover, history shows us that scientists in the past often were willing to speak out strongly and clearly about perceived threats relevant to their scientific expertise. This talk explores the origins and historical development of the current tendency of scientists towards reticence, and the asymmetry of scientific anxiety.
