Sometimes you meet people whose work inspires and gives a breath of energy. I think the work of Angela Booker, provost of the Eight college in San Diego, is one of those . Last week she presented at University of California Irvine what in my mind seems an ambitious and necessary #ParticipatoryDesign project: the creation of a culture of inclusion and care, with strong community ties among college students. I think that now more than ever these inspiring projects are needed :)

All that would definitely be bad – cynical, self-sabotaging, philistine. But there’s another possibility that is worse: that culture wars aren’t being fought to destroy the humanities – rather that humanities are being destroyed because they’re incredibly inconvenient to authoritarianism

Imagining the futures of social media with 6th graders through storytelling in #Scratch . Students explored issues connected with cyberbullying, scams and selling of their personal data, getting inappropriate content, addiction, personalized advertising and false information, and more. It has been only two days and the amount of experiences and issues raised is impressive. #CriticalDataLit #CriticalDataLiteracy #socialmedia #children #UOulu #Interact
