Over the weekend, I have been fixated on trying to understand all that happened in 2014 as key to the current (2018) university pensions crisis #ucustrike #ussstrike. An earlier thread is attached below. #ucustrike #ussstrikes
When I'm not on strike, I usually research by piecing together published, archival & grey literatures to build up a rich tapestry through which to get a grip on shifting phenomena. How do 'objects' & phenomena gain consistency & tractability? How do they change in form?
So here are some of the things (official lit, grey literatures, weblinks, newspaper/magazine articles etc.) that are currently in my "What happened around pensions, USS & UUK in 2014?" folder #ucustrike #ussstrikes
Thanks to 2 grants, from @NEHgov and @usedgov, I worked with @WikiEducation to create a project for my #HSCI in Latin America class at @MissouriSandT/@sandtcasb. Sharing links in thread to edited articles on @Wikipedia. Students did AMAZING work. Almost 1 million total views!
First rule in this project was NOT to underestimate how hard undergrads work to produce quality research. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chapultep…
Second rule: Trust students to be experts! They need to hear that they can be. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Religion_…
