​​​​Native Land Digital Territory Acknowledgement  Territory acknowledgement is a way that people insert an awareness of Indigenous presence and land rights in everyday life. This is often done at the beginning of ceremonies, lectures, or any public event. It can be a subtle way to recognize the history of colonialism and a need for change in settler colonial societies.​ SEE Getting to Know Native Land Teachers Guide.pdf, below.  Board of Directors biographies  Advisory Council biographies     How Native Land works   Partners and Contributors   Media

BackPack Journalism

  • "Backpack journalism has been described by one of its pioneers, Bill Gentile, as “the craft of one properly trained professional using a hand-held digital video camera to tell stories in a more immediate, more intimate fashion than is achievable using a team that includes camera person, sound person, correspondent and producer.”  The heart of backpack journalism is multimedia storytelling. The reporter uses various media tools, such as lightweight laptops, satellite phones, ed- iting software and cameras. This is equipment that can be a fraction of the cost and size of the older shoulder-mounted gear. This means the journalist needs to be a reporter, photographer, and videog- rapher, as well as an editor and producer of stories. Backpack journalists used to be a new breed of reporter but now it’s more and more likely that they are the norm."  SEE more,  Backpack Journalism, Diana Plater https://www.openschoolofjournalism.com/documents/13647/106563/JG030_Backpack-Journalism.pdf/0d87662a-d61f-4c87-a41b-d3dfb871c450

Following Social Complex
Social complex "is the study of the phenomena of human existence – emigration patterns, armed conflicts, political movements, marriage practices, natural disasters, etc, etc – and the many possible arrangements of relationships between those discrete phenomena.  Social complexity reflects human behavior as it is exercised in ongoing and increasingly broader and more complicated circumstances of individual and group existence. Social complexity has emerged as the conceptual and practical framework wherein these phenomena and their relationships can be studied." ( What Is Social Complexity?)

Use of Social Media

  • Social media use in the research workflow, "...scientists avail themselves most of social media.  Journals, conference proceedings and edited books remain the core traditional means of disseminating research, with institutional repositories highly valued as well, but social media has become an important complementary channel for disseminating and discovering research.​

Integrity and Ethics
  • This report argues that research integrity is vital because it creates trust, and trust is at the heart of the research process. ... It provides an evidence base that can underpin action taken to address research integrity  Briefing Paper on Research Integrity: What it Means, Why it Is Important and How we Might Protect itThis briefing paper looks at developments in efforts to address issues of research integrity. It explores the available data on the frequency of misconduct, why it is thought that researchers would commit misconduct in the first place, how national and international organisations have approached the promotion of research integrity, and the manner in which allegations of misconduct are handled.

Writing

Our mission is to unite writers and their allies to celebrate creative expression and defend the liberties that make it possible.
Readings
  • Burn This Book: Notes on Literature and Engagement, by Toni Morrison. New York, N.Y.: Harperstudio.     "Published in conjunction with the PEN American Center, Burn This Book is a powerful collection of essays that explore the meaning of censorship and the power of literature to inform the way we see the world, and ourselves.  As Americans we often take our freedom of speech for granted. When we talk about censorship we talk about China, the former Soviet Union, or the Middle East. But recent political developments—including the passage of the Patriot Act—have shined a spotlight on profound acts of censorship in our own backyard. Burn This Book features a sterling roster of award-winning writers offering their incisive, uncensored views on this most essential topic, including such revered literary heavyweights as Toni Morrison, Salman Rushdie, Orhan Pamuk, David Grossman, and Nadine Gordimer, among others."
