    Sharing My MA Thesis: Aggression in the Quaker Meeting for Worship

    by

    Over ten years ago, I spent a year pursuing the role of the instinct for aggression–the instinct to act, behave, take part, stand up, speak out, and so on–in my masters thesis, “’Ecstasy Has Been Given to the Tiger:’ Aggression in the Quaker Meeting for Worship,” which I share below.

    ABSTRACT. Together, aggression and Quakerism are two seemingly disparate aspects of the intersection of psychiatry and religion. Society generally encourages disavowing aggression because of its incitement of and pairing with hatred and violence. Quakerism is branded at the other end of the spectrum as entirely passive for its silence (in the worship service) and dedication to peace (evident in its renowned social justice efforts). Yet aggression and Quakerism are intrinsically and necessarily intertwined for any religion’s healthy survival. Drawing upon work by Winnicott, Holbrook, and Ulanov to theorize the place of aggression in Quaker Meeting, I use William James’ method …

    Details for the Gender & Geography Bibliography Hackathon

    by

    I am delighted to share that the Gender & Geography Bibliography Hackathon will take place November 15th-21st, 2015. A hackathon is a time when a group of people come together to work on a digital project, usually by coding and creating content for an app or website. Skills and time involved are minimal. The outcome is a profound source of public knowledge across fields, as well as training in the citation management software, Zotero.

    We are eagerly seeking faculty, students, staff, & citizens who want to take part any time and anywhere during the week of 11/15 to add to and edit the now 3,000+ large online, citation database of feminist geographic sources. We are particularly keen to have folks contribute books, book chapters, and multimedia citations from across disciplines, and we are extremely eager for contributions of non-English materials. Folks can work on their own or form their …

    Buying Can be that Easy.

    by

              Having a buy button on twitter could be effective or noneffective. Recently on an article in the New York Times. Twitter was having in its mind since two years. After two years of testing, twitter has decided to launch buy button this year. People are more likely to be on social media every day. Even though if they doesn't have time to online shop, buy button can help them to buy from social media.

                    
                                         


          I think if twitter gets success by launching buy button than other social media, especially Facebook will follow its path. According to Vindu Goel, mentioned in his article that “We have gone from testing this with hundreds of merchants to millions of merchants,” Nathan Hubbard, Twitter’s head of commerce, said in an interview. “It’s built into the software that they use every day to manage their business” This will help twitter to make more money from those companies, the companies chose to sell their products on twitter site. Twitter has around 316 million users in the world and this buy button will become famous within a few days.

       Vindu Goel also mentioned about Facebooks idea on this buy button thing that, "Sheryl Sandberg, the company’s chief operating officer, said that Facebook studied the behavior of its 1.5 billion users and concluded that buy buttons should not be a high priority right now." I think Facebook is now focusing on its recent topic " Dislike Button". In future it might have it on its site.

    The Joy of Painting, and other lessons on being flexible and patient.

    by
      This month flew by as I prepared my graduation portfolio and had some exciting meetings at work. My research team also just finished writing our literature review, which was a challenging yet rewarding process. We approached arts engagement in three different settings, which made finding collective themes in the literature tough. Fortunately, through our critique and reflection process within our group we were able to synthesize what each of us had written. Much to our surprise (and delight!)
