Palestine Updates | Students Freedom of Speech is under attack at Curtin Uni.

View this post on Instagram

A post shared by Students for Palestine WA (@studentsforpalestinewa)

Students have received emails stating that the notorious phrase, "from the river to the sea, Palestine will be free." Is banned on campus, this phrase implies a call for justice and equality for the Palestinian people and their right to their land.

This is a blatant attempt of repression towards the student's freedom of speech, and call for justice. Students as well as citizens should have the right to speak out against genocide, and criticise those that are complicit in it.

So what can you do?

Email the university, demanding that they stop repressing pro-Palestine activism.

Here are the emails;

Vice Chancellor Harlene Hayne - vc@curtin.edu.au

Chief Operating Officer Fiona Notley - fiona.notley@curtin.edu.au

With Egypt currently refusing to open the Rafah crossing, now is an important time more than ever to make some noise and do whatever you can.

What can you do?

Well, you can spread go fund mes (link: Operation Olive Branch) as much as you can, keep talking about what's happening, attend rallies, write to your politicians, donate and/or attend your local encampment.

Students around the world are camping at their schools in solidarity and in protest for a ceasefire, for the freedom of Palestinians, and for their money to stop funding the genocide.

Encampment locator → Students4Gaza

Note: The list is missing Curtin University which is located in Perth, Western Australia.

I actually went to visit the Curtin Uni encampment today, where Australian Jews for Palestine spoke during the rally and a Palestinian who lost his loved ones in the genocide told their stories. The long bus trips were absolutely worth it to be able to connect with others and stand in solidarity with a community.

Curtin University is associated with companies like Lockheed Martin, Babcock Australasia, and Huntington Ingalls Industries, and have been providing research and funds to these Israel affiliated companies. These companies produce weapons for the IDF which have used against civilians in Gaza. Curtin University is complicit in and actively funding the genocide, and the encampment aims to achieve divestment from these companies, from Israeli universities, to cut funding, to make a statement, to adhere to the BDS movement, and to be fully transparent to the public about what they've given out to the companies.

These students are paying for their future and they deserve to know where their money has gone, and they deserve to learn in a campus that doesn't fund a genocide.

Oh buoy! Curtin Uni And NASA Unlock Ocean Secrets From Space

On a new-generation satellite mission to study the colour of the ocean from space, providing vital information about ocean health and its role in climate regulation. Researchers recently deployed a 15-metre-tall buoy off the coast of Perth, Western Australia, as part of a new project to ensure the data quality for NASA’s newly launched Plankton, Aerosols, Clouds, Ocean Ecosystems – or PACE –…

Teaching philosophy

Layered knowledge, different for each student, engaging in different ways and building different understanding from the same technology seems a useful model for my exclusively online teaching practice. I add to this  understanding of the variety in the experience of our students, respect for the traditions of Curtin and library studies at Curtin, in disciplines that are always needing to reassert their professional identity and credentials. These aspects all inform my teaching philosophy – to be of service, to share what I know, to build what I know, to connect what I know, in service to improve knowledge and understanding and therefore the lived experience of those around me.

It seems relevant to restate my teaching philosophy, important in that it underpins my approach.

to be of service as an ethical broker and enabler of knowledge and understanding in my disciplines.

to share what I know, to build what I know, to connect what I know, in service of improving knowledge and understanding, and therefore the lived experience, of those around me.

to deploy professional frameworks and structures strategically to support me.

Philosophy as an academic: to be a research-led teacher and a teaching-aware researcher specialising in the relationship between using and preserving information and heritage for the benefit of communities.

Shaping a personal teaching philosophy

Conceptualising the work of an academic as a practice confirms for me the importance of a personal teaching philosophy, or a ‘know why’ competency as Defillippi and Arthur termed it (1994, p. 308) (I understand theirs is considered a landmark article, theorising horizontal structures in organisations).

 The importance of aligning personal motivation with research and approaches to teaching is emphasised in McAlpine and Åkerlind (2010). My initial characterisation of my teaching philosophy was as teacher-presence focused. Reviewing Lewis (2021), I note the relevance of frameworks from discipline specific frameworks such as CSU’s learning and teaching framework as discussed by Lewis. I also reviewed the TEQSA’s Guidance Note: Scholarship (TEQSA, 2018).

For me the metaphor is summed by a current art project of mine. There are many types of users for the two maps I have produced. One is a physical user’s manual the reader can walk about with. The other is a phone-friendly map that can as a digital guide to first time visitors or as digital augmentation to deepen understanding and knowledge for those who already familiar with this environment. Layered knowledge, different for each student, engaging in different ways and building different understanding from the same technology seems a useful model for the exclusively online teaching I do. I add to this  understanding of the variety in the experience of our students, respect for the traditions of the uni and discipline (running since the 1970s), in disciplines that are always needing to reassert their professional identity and credentials. These aspects all inform my teaching philosophy – to be of service, to share what I know, to build what I know, to connect what I know, in service to improve knowledge and understanding and therefore the lived experience of those around me.

Adding a reflection on transformative learning - I learn from Andrew Kitchenham about the development of Mezirow's transformative learning theory (Kitchenham, 2008), drawing on Kuhn, Freire and Habermas. I read a critique of TL in Hogan (2023) - what stands out for me is his critique that there's a presumption that learners want to be transformed and that transformation is positive for them. Hogan also points out that Mezirow's original focus was on a transformation of perspective. In my sector (GLAMR), there are problems of worldview, that the dominant worldview is and has been positivist European Western knowledge systems that have resulted in the invisibility and silencing of other knowledge systems. For this reason, an awareness of standpoint is a prerequisite for learners in my field. In this regard Mezirow's ideas of transforming perspectives are highly relevant.

(via L’Ombre de Trinity: la première bombe atomique nommée Trinity. Une situation terrifiante que beaucoup veulent ignorer.)

"Trinity a assombri ma vie, tandis que l’autre Trinité a a illuminé mes journées. Des esprits malades jouent avec les mots pour infliger la douleur. Ils ont surnommé cette bombe mortelle « le Gadget », comme s’il s’agissait d’un petit jouet innocent. Ils ont pris et blasphémé le mystère chrétien de la Trinité comme s’ils se moquaient de Dieu, ce qu’ils étaient. Ils pensaient qu’ils étaient des dieux. Maintenant, ce sont tous des dieux morts, leurs destins scellés dans leurs tombes... Joseph Biden, le deuxième président catholique romain, tout en se moquant de l’essence du message de Jésus, pousse le monde vers un holocauste nucléaire, contrairement à JFK, le premier président catholique, qui a été assassiné par la CIA en faveur de l’élimination des armes nucléaires et à la fin de la guerre froide... les criminels de guerre nazis ont été accueillis dans le gouvernement américain sous l’égide d’Allen Dulles devenu le plus ancien directeur de la CIA et la personne clé de l’assassinat et de la dissimulation de JFK, les crimes de guerre diaboliques des États-Unis ont été balayés en tant qu’actes commis par une « nation morale » qui menait une bonne guerre... « À peine six semaines après les bombardements d’Hiroshima-Nagsaki, le département américain de la guerre [le Pentagone] a publié un plan (15 septembre 1945) pour « effacer l’Union soviétique de la carte » (66 villes avec 204 bombes atomiques) , lorsque les États-Unis et l’URSS étaient des alliés. Ce projet infâme est confirmé par des documents déclassifiés.... Mais je suis inquiet et je me demande pourquoi. Alors que la nuit tombe, je suis assis ici et je me pose des questions."

Even Christmas couldn’t keep the Liberals from attacking higher education. In the Mid-Year Economic and Fiscal Outlook, the government announced $2.2 billion in university funding cuts over the next two years.

The Liberals’ cuts will be disastrous for students who rely on Commonwealth supported places. Student debt has quadrupled in the last 20 years and is already predicted to rise further. These cuts will only increase the level of debt.

On top of this, the Liberals are not proposing to better regulate higher education. Their plan is the opposite – by continually lowering government funding, they intend to lay the basis to completely deregulate university fees, allowing campus administrations to charge whatever they want for a degree.

The first National Day Of Action for higher education will take place on March 21, 2018. Event: www.facebook.com/events/180945125976938/

Productivity | Year 3, Sem 2

*Data includes, weekends and tuition free weeks.

The large gap where I did only 2 hours in like 2 weeks were the back to back tuition free weeks. I had gone over east to visit my older sister in the first week, then went down south to visit my younger sister.

The 2 hours of study in between these two visits was for a mid-sem that was coming up straight after the uni break. I did okay.

The large spikes were the days I was working on assignments. 

Procrastination is at peak levels when there isn’t a deadline to keep me at it.

Over this semester I studied for ~356 hours.

This pie chart would suggest that I care more about Industrial Modelling and didn’t give a shit about Business Statistics. The latter is true.

I only spent so much time on Industrial Modelling as it was such a content dense unit. I only spent so little on Business Statistics because it was stuff I had already learnt in a previous unit.

I would have gotten a really good mark for Business Stat but of course I super goofed in the exam which lowered my final grade significantly. That teaches me for being cocky.

Time spent on studying unit does not necessarily = better grade.

Overall, I’m just happy I passed all my units.
