"I must be completely honest - I was not the first person to introduce the Americans with Disabilities Act," retired U.S. Senator Tom Harkin pointed out in an interview with the Indiana Disability History Project. In fact, Senator Harkin had been one of the main authors of the landmark civil rights legislation, and became its chief Senate sponsor. He also gives credit to the ADAPT "Capitol Crawl" action on March 12, 1990 with influencing legislators to finally get the law on the books. Before the end of May of that year, the bill had been passed by both chambers of the House. It was signed by President George H.W. Bush on July 26. In this 2017 interview excerpt, he looks back on a historic moment and forward to the work ahead. In his view, the next frontier is jobs. "We have not broken through on employment." Tom Harkin was a United States Senator from Iowa from 1985 to 2015. He was interviewed on December 4, 2017 at the Indiana Governor’s Council for People with Disabilities Conference where he was the keynote speaker.

Using evidence to inform institutional improvement efforts is essential for our work, but the ways that we analyze and interpret that evidence is key. This webinar will provide tips to consider for more inclusive data sharing and analysis as it is important to be conscious of the ways our work may perpetuate problematic and limited understandings of already marginalized groups. Whether you are preparing reports for internal stakeholders or conducting research to share externally, we hope these strategies allow us all to be more attentive to the ways we engage in this work.
In episode 96, Dean Shanahan and IU Soul Revue Director James Strong talk about soul music, the Soul Revue and Strong's time in the industry, working with artists from New Edition to Kenneth 'Babyface' Edmonds, to Stephanie Mills.
This talk will briefly outline Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) in comparison with more familiar statistical models (such as linear regression) and review several R packages tailored for the SEM community. In addition, these packages will be compared to perhaps the most well-known commercial package available, MPlus.
This study examines the South Korean cyberfeminist community Womad, a community currently under fire in South Korea due to its exclusionary politics, i.e. its antagonism towards anyone (biologically) male and (ethnically) Korean. In this project, The study reveals how Womad’s “medium specificity” (i.e. its platform) interacts with South Korea’s “national specificity” in specific ways that results in the “technological assemblage” that is Womad. By amassing individual postings through data crawling, the project uses computerized text analysis to (1) reveal the technical difficulties underlying textual analysis of Korean online communities in general (2) examine the kinds of topics that this specific community engages with (3) investigate which topics are most popular/unpopular within the community (thus accruing more upvotes/downvotes).

FSSE recently released a variety of new resources for using FSSE data and learning more about how faculty contribute to the undergraduate experience. This webinar will give an overview of these resources, and provide examples on how these tools can be used to learn more about faculty who teach undergraduates. Included in the new resources are a new interactive data visualization tool using Tableau, studies of FSSE's validity and reliability, and documents designed to give an informational overview of the content areas covered on FSSE.
More than 1,600 institutions have used NSSE to collect important information about the quality of the undergraduate experience. NSSE provides actionable data through refined measures, easy to use reports, and online reporting. But NSSE was never just about data-gathering-it was created to stimulate improvement. Yet institutional action in response to NSSE results remains an ongoing challenge. This session highlights the most recent report of field-tested lessons from about two dozen institutions that have taken advantage of updated NSSE results to catalyze change on campus to address the question: What facilitates institutional action?
Shortly after the Indiana University Libraries Scholars' Commons opened in 2014, they established the “Maker Cart”: a mobile makerspace designed to foster creativity and learning around the Bloomington campus without being tied to a specific space. Over the past four years, makerspace outreach has grown to a regularly-occurring workshop series, “Maker Mondays,” which has included an introduction to analog synthesis using littleBits kits, creating original animated short films by painting and etching the film itself, and animating GIFs using Photoshop. This series has recently included workshops developed collaboratively with librarians who offer digital scholarship programming.
Makerspace workshops using this model facilitate community building by interacting directly with interested attendees. Interested interdisciplinary attendees and instructors attend or offer these workshops out of curiosity and interest rather than a specific research need. They feature tangible learning outcomes to be constructed over the course of an hour: an original film, musical composition, or screen-printed object, for example. This presentation will showcase some of the makerspace skills and technologies featured in the Maker Mondays series, discuss how these partnerships have advanced digital scholarship outreach at Indiana University, and offer a forecast for IU Libraries makerspace initiatives into the future.
In episode 83, Janae Cummings interviews legendary dancer and choreographer Twyla Tharp. The two talk about her career, method, and course collaboration with Indiana University's Jacobs School of Music and Department of Theatre, Drama, and Contemporary Dance.

In 2017, folklorist Jon Kay traveled to Southwest China to join a team of researchers from the United States, the Anthropological Museum of Guangxi, and the Nandan Baiku Yao Eco-Museum who were documenting the basket and textile traditions of the Baiku Yao people in Nandan County, in the Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region. The members of the research team visited a home in Manjiang village to inventory the baskets collected and used by a local family. As the fieldworkers worked photographing and measuring baskets, Mr. Lu Bingzhao came into the house and picked up a mallet, which he showed everyone and then went outside. Kay did not speak Mandarin or the local Baiku Yao dialect, but felt Mr. Bingzhao had something he wanted to show the team, so he followed the man outside and saw him lay the mallet on the trunk of a small felled tree for measurement; Kay realized he was going to make a mallet, so he grabbed a camera and began shooting. Mr. Bingzhao worked as the children played nearby. Neighbors and family members stopped by to visit as they returned home from picking greens. Mr. Bingzhao worked steadily as people came and went. With heavy chops, he used a billhook to quickly remove the excess wood. With the same tool, he then shaved the mallet’s handle smooth, using a pulling motion. Finally, at the end of the video, just as he completes the mallet, he gives it to his daughter-in-law. Technical Note: The video was shot with a Canon 90D camera with a RØDE stereo microphone attached to the camera’s hot-shoe mount.

Sponsored by the Indiana University’s Department of Gender Studies, the Office for Vice President for Research New Frontiers program, and the IU Bloomington Arts and Humanities Council. - WFHB Marriage Equality Stories from the Heartland
Classical applications of instrumental variables analysis are justified by structural models of behavior, and assumptions about the relationship between measured and unmeasured variables. Experimental and quasi-Experimental research designs present a partial alternative to structural modeling that is useful for answering certain types of research questions. It turns out that instrumental variables analysis can also help us make sense of several different research designs.
This workshop will introduce the key assumptions involved in instrumental variables analysis from the perspective of research design. It will examine the way instrumental variables can play a role in the analysis of data from (i) classical randomized experiments, (ii) experiments that mix randomization and participant choice, and (iii) surveys that suffer from nonresponse. In each case, research designs justify some instrumental variable assumptions and not others. Examples and best practices for applied research will be discussed throughout.
Digital technology is changing everything in our lives, including the ways in which we study, learn, teach, and create knowledge in the university. While these changes have been slower to come in the humanities, they are now well established and accelerating, with significant implications for teaching and research. What are the new opportunities afforded by the development of digital tools and platforms for humanists? What new fields of inquiry have opened for humanists as a result of the explosion of digital technology? And how should humanists understand and respond to the growing power and influence of the technical disciplines in shaping the priorities of the contemporary university?
Presented by Dr. William D. Adams, former head of the National Endowment for the Humanities, as part of the IU Institute for Digital Arts & Humanities 2017-18 Speaker Series, which had the theme "Making the Arts & Humanities."
This workshop will cover basic scientific visualization concepts and applications using Paraview, including data types, the basic interface, pipelines and more.
Digital mapping offers a variety of options that range in complexity from dropping a point on your smartphone's mapping application to analyzing statistical differences in different geographies to warping geography for historical or artistic purposes. In addition to learning digital mapping methodology for humanist and social sciences research, and adapting mapping tools for artistic practice, we will discuss the critical application of these tools and how they can be used effectively in the classroom.
Network analysis provides a data-driven analysis and visualization exploration of relationships in digital arts & humanities, but within that umbrella is a variety of approaches to understanding interaction between elements of a system. We'll use your research question to help you think through how these relationships might work in a network analysis of your own and demonstrate how an in-classroom network-analysis activity can also help your students see relationships unfold in your discipline.
In episode 79, Dean Shanahan speaks to Joan Hawkins, associate professor at the IU Media School, about the Wounded Galaxies festival and symposium.
Wounded Galaxies: 1968 – Beneath the Paving Stones, the Beach is a festival and symposium produced by The Burroughs Century Ltd., welcoming scholars, writers, artists, archivists, filmmakers, performers, and others interested in exploring the intellectual and aesthetic legacy of 1968, during its 50th Anniversary year.
The festival subtitle is a translation of the French slogan “Sous les pavés, la plage!,” a popular resistance graffiti in France Mai ’68 that refers to both the sand beneath cobblestones lifted by students to hurl at police as well as the ‘Situationist’ conviction that the streets–the expression of capital and consumption–could be rediscovered by abandoning a regimented life.
