This book offers an exploration of #work-life balance, focusing on #parents, #academics, the self-employed, and #migrants. It examines self-care, #childcare, and informal care dynamics.
I’m looking for PhD programs that are pretty self-directed? I’m just starting my search for schools to apply to and wanted to reach out for recommendations and places to start my search.
Specifically I’m looking to study a combination of Posthumanism and Community Development. To my knowledge, this would be a very interdisciplinary degree, and thus I might need a school that offers an Interdisciplinary Studies PhD or something similar. Or possibly a degree in either Posthumanism or Community Development, but that is flexible and allows me to study across disciplines.
I also have done my entire masters degree with independent studies (self-designed coursework and evaluation) under various mentors, and I’m looking to continue that sort of learning style (though if I have to take a few structured classes I can plug my nose and dive in, lol).
Open Cultural Studies (www.degruyter.com/CULTURE) invites submissions for a topical issue “Critical Plant Theories and Cultures: Exploring Human and More-than-human World Entanglements” @plantscience
All of a sudden I am involved in extremely #Interdisciplinary stuff - which alleviates the pain of the start of the teaching semester-
-Friday I spoke to the closing event of an art exhibition in Rome focused on networks and biology (through the slime mold!).
-Yesterday I had a telconf with a neurosurgeon and 3 engineers of signal reconstruction in the brain.
-Today I just agreed for the opening of an art exhibition about Galileo, in the villa where he spend his last years 😱
@impactology I think this video really nails down what I felt so frustrating about Zotero's paradigm of information structure: it's almost impossible to neatly put any information into a single place within a hierarchical folder structure, especially when you are dealing with #interdisciplinary pursuits.

The #Interdisciplinary Centre for European #Enlightenment Studies at the Martin-Luther-Universität Halle-Wittenberg (#UniHalle) is offering two Dr. phil. Fritz-Wiedemann-Fellowships.
"Friday night in San Francisco" by Al Di Meola, John MacLaughlin and Paco De Lucia has to be one of the best albums ever in the history of #music (that's at least my opinion today). An exquisite mix of #Flamenco, #Jazz and a bunch of other influences. I think it even qualifies to #interdisciplinary research project.
Played only with the three #guitars and the public - the energy of the live performance is palpable in the the recording.

I'm Associate Professor and Director of Education @ the Center for Bioethics and Humanities at the University of Colorado Anschutz Medical Campus.
I'm trained as an attorney, a historian of medicine & public health, and a public health ethicist. My background is in the humanities but I live in a #socsci world. #Interdisciplinary
Outside of work, I'm a brown belt in jiujitsu (10 years), and love coffee, Batman, and Star Wars. Glad to be here!

"It’s increasingly looking like this may be one of the most hilariously inappropriate applications of AI that we’ve seen yet." I am riveted by the extensive documentation of how ChatGPT-powered Bing is now completely unhinged. @simon has chronicled it beautifully here: https://simonwillison.net/2023/Feb/15/bing/
