The gender_cyber_archive: “

Anyone interested in feminist theory, particularly as it applies to technology, ought to peruse the gender_cyber_archive, unless you already have and I’m the last to find out about it. In the archive are written essays and audio lectures in .ram format. I’m especially interested in these:

• Joan W. Scott, Fictitious Unities: «Gender,» «East,» and «West»
• Donna J. Haraway, Alpha Bitches Online:the Dog Genome for the Next Genderation
• Anne Phillips, Feminist Politics: Facing the Future
• Susan Stanford Friedman, Locational Feminism: Gender, Cultural Geographies, and Geopolitical Literacy
• Angela Thomas and Valerie Walkerdine, Girls and Computer Games
• Maria Pini, Girls on Film: Video Diaries as ‘Auto-Ethnographies’

Counterculture “Pirates” Who Fought Hitler?:
This came to me from Randy Tinkerman, who is currently hanging out in Germany:

Campaigning for Cologne’s Maligned Resistance

They wore their hair long, sang songs by banned Jewish composers and fought the Nazi regime. But history has so far remembered Cologne’s Edelweiss Pirates as criminals rather than resistance fighters…until now.

the portrayal of the other… it carries through generations, not just at the point of initiation, not just as a matter of policy but as a matter of culture. this is one of the problems that i have with the way the media portrays the people we wage war against. these stereotypes will carry. this is obvious from the portrayal of the cologne resistance, these people may have been social problems for the regime, but it is not their actions that linger, but the portrayal of them as anti-regime pirates.

Police Tasered truant girl, 12:

Nelson said he fired ”for my safety along with [the girl's] safety.” He could not be reached for comment.

to me… this is exemplary of the profound lack of critical judgment in american society.

Internet Research Tracings: Towards Non-Reductionist Methodology – Lincoln Dahlberg, JCMC:

Individual Profs and teaching with the Web:

Outside of courseware packages there are the bloggers/wikis/post nukers’ and probably a few others. Here’s a quick list of the profs I know/watch/read who use social software as teaching tools:

Jason Nolan

Alex Halavais

Ron Deibert

Likely many others can be identified through Alex’s list of ScholarsWhoblog What I think is an essential issue to chosing your teaching spaces is just how much interactivity you want/need the students to have. Will they be doing reflective journaling online? Do you want them to comment on each other’s work? Will they need to do online collaboration? Are you students living in the same dorm together or are they spread out over a large metropolis area and unlikely to meet f2f? Taking all this into account, I keep coming back again & again to blogging and wikis. Is it just because that’s all I know, or is it because it works over and over?
