<li><span style="color: windowtext; font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">If we continue to build and operate roads as we do today we
are likely to need about two and a half times more road capacity in 2050 than
we have today, to cater for this population growth. However our study estimates
that, using a simple but realistic set of assumptions, the road capacity
requirement in 2050 will be roughly equivalent to the capacity existing today.
This is due to the impact of technology adoption over the next 35 years which
is predicted to lessen the need to build new infrastructure.</span></li>

See, for example, the American Historical Association's '<a href="http://www.historians.org/jobs-and-professional-development/career-diversity-for-historians">Career Diversity for Historians</a>' Project, the debates initiated by Armitage and Guldi (discussed in the <a href="http://jhiblog.org/tag/peter-mandler/">Journal of the History of Ideas Blog</a><u>)</u>, and a myriad of other examples.</span></div>

emphasis on </span><span lang="EN-US" style="mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman";">self-reflexivity
about the nature of evidence. They acknowledge that statistics are vital, but
will never give us the definitive truth of our situation; that images are not
transparent to their referents but constructed artifacts with meanings
circumscribed by context and caption; that the ‘objective’ and ‘real’ reflects
specific economic interests, class backgrounds, and political ideologies. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

corollary of this understanding is a relational understanding of the truth, a

make enormous progress towards a more sustainable future without a major change
in what we value’. In other words, it rejects ‘communitarian limits’ on growth.
Instead, energy consumption, water use and food output an all continue to rise
while greenhouse emissions fall, stressed catchments can be maintained and native
habitat restored.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span lang="EN-US" style="color: #2a2a2a; mso-bidi-font-family: Times;">This argument is also reflected in the Corporate Social
Responsibility strategies of many of our biggest polluters. </span><span lang="EN-US" style="mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;"><a href="http://www.wemeanbusinesscoalition.org/">We Mean Business</a> is ‘</span><span lang="EN-US" style="color: #323232; mso-bidi-font-family: Times;">a coalition of

<span lang="EN-US" style="color: #2a2a2a; mso-bidi-font-family: Times;">These win-win-win scenarios do not
provide a platform for the kind of regulatory changes necessary to
limit global warming. As CSIRO’s National Outlook report illustrates:
Governments need to <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">choose</i>. This will
involve some pain. Haward Pender of the ACCR <a href="http://www.accr.org.au/big_banks">writes</a>: ‘The</span><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "times new roman"; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-bidi;"> political process of recognising the need for
physical constraint of emissions is slow and difficult’. </span><span lang="EN-US" style="color: #2a2a2a; mso-bidi-font-family: Times;">In particular, many
assets, including </span><span lang="EN-US">mines and coal-fired power stations,
are likely to become ‘stranded’.</span><span lang="EN-US" style="color: #2a2a2a; mso-bidi-font-family: Times;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="color: #2a2a2a; mso-bidi-font-family: Times;">There is no guarantee the Australian government will make the
necessary decisions. As George Monbiot illustrated <a href="http://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2015/nov/03/financial-crisis-corporate-power-george-monbiot">recently</a>:
‘</span><span lang="EN-US" style="color: #262626; mso-bidi-font-family: Times;">Banks,
corporations and landowners wield an unaccountable power, which works with a
nod and a wink within the political class</span><span lang="EN-US" style="color: #2a2a2a; mso-bidi-font-family: Times;">.’ At the same time, it is not
clear that the electorate supports a change in energy policies. Recent CSIRO
research reported that less than half of Australians (45.9%) believe that
climate change <u>is</u> happening and <u>is</u> caused by human activity. Moreover,
this recent (<a href="http://www.smh.com.au/environment/climate-change/climate-change-csiro-axes-annual-attitudes-survey-delays-2014-results-20150810-giw6i1.html">now
canceled</a>) CSIRO survey found that that respondents assumed that only one
third of Australians (32.8%) believed that climate change was induced by human
activity.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span lang="EN-US" style="color: #2a2a2a; mso-bidi-font-family: Times;">Some reports invoke Turnbull’s ‘character’ as a reason for
optimism. As Tim Buckley of the ‘Institute for Energy Economics and Financial
Analysis’ <a href="http://ieefa.org/australia-at-last-has-an-energy-realist-at-its-helm/?utm_source=Daily+IEEFA+Newsletter&utm_campaign=0e5bc6c096-RSS_Feed_Daily_Campaign2_18_2015&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_e793f87bcc-0e5bc6c096-114300229">writes</a>:
‘</span><span lang="EN-US" style="mso-bidi-font-family: Times;">Where Abbott clung
to a status-quo outlook that refused to see the light, Turnbull is a realist
who knows change is on the way’. <span style="color: #2a2a2a;">Turnbull, by his
own admission, will only act if it is in Australia’s financial interest to do
so and if it is in his own political interests to do so. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="mso-bidi-font-family: Times;">In the
meantime, the government <a href="http://www.theage.com.au/environment/un-climate-conference/turnbull-government-accused-of-blocking-us-japan-plan-to-reduce-coal-20151110-gkv02w.html"><span style="color: windowtext;">continues</span></a> the <a href="http://www.smh.com.au/environment/australia-making-empty-promises-on-phasing-out-fossil-fuel-subsidies-report-20151111-gkwbrb"><span style="color: windowtext;">annual $5 billion subsidies</span></a> for </span><span lang="EN-US"><a href="http://priceofoil.org/content/uploads/2015/11/Empty-promises_main-report.2015.pdf"><span style="color: windowtext;">high-carbon assets</span></a> that cannot be exploited
without driving the planet far beyond the internationally agreed target of
limiting global temperature increases to no more than 2 degrees C. </span><span lang="EN-US" style="mso-bidi-font-family: Times;">These subsidies play an
increasingly significant role in maintaining the financial viability of many
fossil fuel mining operations</span><span lang="EN-US" style="mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman";">. <a href="http://www.carbontracker.org/wp-content/uploads/2015/09/Thermal-Coal-Prod-Subsidies-final-12-9.pdf">Carbontracker</a>
estimates these subsidies (including postponed rehabilitation payments, direct
tax deductions and and fuel excise exemption) at $5.22AUD per tonne. Given the
rapidly declining <a href="https://ycharts.com/indicators/australia_coal_price">Australian
Coal Price</a> (-</span><span lang="EN-US" style="mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;">7.53%

external costs of growing road traffic volumes include congestion, greenhouse
gas emissions, accidents, social exclusion, health, etc. On a per kilometre

cities. If road users were confronted with all the costs that their travel

congestion cost curve at high volume/capacity ratios has been shown, in recent

benefits from planned road improvements </span><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; text-indent: -18pt;">(Nicolaisen and Næss 2015). </span><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; text-indent: -18pt;">Congestion tends to discourage traffic in the ‘do-nothing’
situation, damping down prospective user benefits from improvement. This
analysis is a good reason for requiring, as Infrastructure Australia has done
(IA 2013), that major road projects be evaluated as if congestion pricing was
in place.</span></li>

clearly an enormous number. In this context, the “</span>overwhelming”
consensus amongst scientists (and the public) in support of the IPCC was
matched only by the “overwhelming” opposition amongst “industry” towards a
“carbon market” (without a comparable market in other nations). The basis for this opposition was that a
“carbon market” it would put Australian industry at a competitive disadvantage

</span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"></span><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span style="mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">There is currently
(and obviously) enormous interest in the idea of the market as the basis of a response
to climate change. The language of the market provides a model of change that is
seductive. It suggests that the future lies in our hands. Accompanying this vision
has been a proliferation of industry-based sustainability criteria rating
schemes. Annual reports seem to inevitably make reference to sustainability
initiatives, ethical and responsible investment companies are proliferating,
and sustainability conferences are attended by banks and mining companies. This
emphasis on the market runs parallel to discussions about the role of government
in creating a market for greenhouse gases, but is not necessarily determined by
or dependent upon government. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">
<span style="mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;"></span><br />
<span style="mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">The emphasis on sustainability
makes good business sense on a number of levels. In the first instance, it overlaps
to an uncanny degree with the notion of sustainable profits, it offers an opportunity
to reduce costs through reducing power consumption and increasing efficiency,
and it is a good marketing strategy that appeals to investors.<o:p></o:p></span><br />
<span style="mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;"></span><br />
<span style="mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">Against this response
to climate change is the recent IPCC report, which argues that, t</span><span lang="EN" style="mso-ansi-language: EN; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">o have a
two-thirds chance of keeping global warming below 2ºC, CO<span style="font-size: small;"><sub>2</sub> emissions
from all anthropogenic sources will need to stay between 0 and about 1,000
[trillion tonnes], that the world has already blown through just over half that
amount (531 trillion tonnes) by 2011, and that, at current rates of
greenhouse-gas emission, the rest of the budget will have been spent before
2040. Ian
Dunlop, who is currently standing for the board of BHP, describes Climate
Change as a</span></span></span><span style="mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> “transformative
issue which has life-and-death consequences”. Dunlop argues that impact of
carbon on climate requires a “complete reappraisal of our lifestyle”, a change
in values</span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">
and a radical shift in investment away from oil and coal.
</span><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">Dunlop’s argument
raises some important and challenging questions about the need to define what constitutes
meaningful corporate action on climate change.</span><span style="mso-ansi-language: EN; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;"> <span lang="EN">There is a need to separate the
rhetoric form the reality, the distinction between marketing and materiality,
between </span></span><span style="mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">“‘vision’ and
‘execution’”.</span></span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">Ian Dunlop: </span><span style="mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">BHP are doing a lot of good things in terms of addressing climate change. They have accepted that it is a serious issue, that action needs to be accelerated. They are looking at reducing their internal emissions quite extensively. That’s all good stuff. But I think the thing that is missing is the understanding that climate change is going to be one of these things that fundamentally alters the way that a company like BHP operates and I don’t believe that that is really understood strategically on the Board of BHP at the moment…</span><span style="mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;"><o:p> </o:p></span></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">Climate change is not a single issue. It is going to permeate the entire operation of the company right across the board and fundamentally change the way a company like BHP operates. There is a need to take a broader strategic view which integrates the implications of climate change with the way that the company is operating, not just in terms of its day to day operations but very much in a strategic direction: which businesses do they invest in, which ones do they get out of.</span><br /><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span style="mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Its<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"></span>not just a question of selling out of things [like coal] you have to find ways of sterilising those reserves<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"></span>because if you just sell out you solve nothing.</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span style="mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;"></span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">This is a major problem that we have never ever had before and it is at a much higher level than the way strategy is being formulated in corporate Australia at the moment and, I believe, in BHP. It does require ultimately a global solution, but it requires leadership from big corporations because politics is not going to lead. I think what is patently obvious over the last twenty years, but particularly in the last five years and the recent election, is that we will never see leadership within western democracies on an issue as complicated as climate change. It is going to have to come from the people who really have the major self interest in addressing it and who are going to have to design and implement the solutions, and that comes back to the BHPs of this world.</span><span style="mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;"><o:p> </o:p></span></span><br />

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">Trevor Thomas from Ethinvest: </span><span style="mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">You have to see how clearly BHP matches its portfolio investment decisions with its public statements around these issues. They still have very substantial investments in thermal coal and other fossil fuels that will be subject to significant market change over the next fifteen to twenty five years.</span><span style="mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;"><o:p> </o:p></span></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"></span><br /><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span style="mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Dunlop: I would like to think that it opens up the possibility of having a different conversation that might lead to me getting appointed to the board and I would hope that as investors start to understand the implications of this that they will start to broaden their thinking and that they will start to see this as the real<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"></span>mega-issue for their investments.</span></span></div>

The <a href="http://www.utexas.edu/cola/insts/historicalstudies/" target="_blank"><span style="color: #1b6f6c;">Institute for Historical Studies</span></a> (IHS) at the University of Texas at Austin expects to appoint four resident fellows for 2014-2015 whose work engages with the year's theme, "Capital and Commodities." Fellowships are available for all ranks. They are not restricted to historians, but projects must have significant historical content. According to the call for applicants:</div>

<div class="post-body entry-content">
<span style="background-color: #dcf5f1;">The co-development of financial and ecological crises, the global proliferation of mass consumerism, and ongoing social and military conflicts over access to natural resources suggest the critical importance of historicizing the study of capital and commodities. Indeed, over the last several decades, historians have compiled an impressive body of work on the history of commodities and their production, circulation, uses, and cultural significance. Research into commodity chains has forced historians to consider questions of social identity formation and has invigorated analysis of systems of communication and representation. Historical studies have also revealed the impact of commodity production and consumption on natural landscapes and sociopolitical formations. Recent globalized economic crises have further helped focus scholarly attention on how commodity exchange and capital creation involve the conjunctural dimensions of history: credit booms and debt crises, cycles of inflation and deflation, economic growth (and its intellectual constructions) and limits to growth. In this vein, the Institute encourages analytical approaches that underscore the sociocultural, political, environmental, and intellectual underpinnings of the history of capital and commodities. Proposals that encompass broad timespans (including the medieval and early modern periods) and that reach across geographic areas and disciplinary boundaries are particularly encouraged.</span></div>

on right hand side. The first volume is a variation as Departures start at one
end of register and Arrivals at the other. Entries in the first register
are under Date, Name of ship, Captns. Name, Wherefrom, Remarks (eg. cargo,
convicts, emigrants, troops, whaling, etc.), and Burthen (tonnage).
Printed register details (1917-22) are as follows: Date, Name of Vessel,

<!-- .entry-header --><div class="entry-content">
A couple of weeks ago, after reading abstracts from <a href="http://dh2013.unl.edu/" target="_blank">DH2013</a>, I said that the take-away for me was that “literary theory is about to get interesting again” – subtweeting the course of history in a way that I guess I ought to explain.<br />
<br />
In the twentieth century, “literary theory” was often a name for the sparks that flew when literary scholars pushed back against challenges from social science. Theory became part of the academic study of literature around 1900, when the <a href="http://catalog.hathitrust.org/Record/011441839" target="_blank">comparative study of folklore</a> seemed to reveal coherent patterns in national literatures that scholars had previously treated separately. Schools like the University of Chicago hired <a href="http://babel.hathitrust.org/cgi/pt?id=mdp.39015076388696;view=1up;seq=322" target="_blank">“Professors of Literary Theory”</a> to explore the controversial possibility of generalization.* Later in the century, structural linguistics posed an analogous challenge, claiming to glimpse an organizing pattern in language that literary scholars sought to appropriate and/or deconstruct. Once again, sparks flew.<br />
<br />
I think literary scholars are about to face a similarly productive challenge from the discipline of machine learning — a subfield of computer science that studies learning as a problem of generalization from limited evidence. The discipline has made practical contributions to commercial IT, but it’s an epistemological method founded on statistics more than it is a collection of specific tools, and it tends to be intellectually adventurous: lately, researchers are trying to model <a href="http://www.cs.cmu.edu/~dbamman/pubs/pdf/bamman+oconnor+smith.acl13.pdf" target="_blank">concepts like “character” (pdf)</a> and <a href="http://arxiv.org/ftp/arxiv/papers/1210/1210.4567.pdf" target="_blank">“gender,” citing Judith Butler in the process (pdf).</a><br />
<br />
At DH2013 and elsewhere, I see promising signs that literary scholars are gearing up to reply. In some cases we’re <a href="http://dh2013.unl.edu/abstracts/ab-274.html" target="_blank">applying methods of machine learning to new problems</a>; in some cases we’re borrowing the discipline’s broader underlying concepts <a href="http://dh2013.unl.edu/abstracts/ab-221.html" target="_blank">(e.g. the notion of a “generative model”)</a>; in some cases we’re <a href="http://liu.english.ucsb.edu/the-meaning-of-the-digital-humanities/" target="_blank">grappling skeptically with its premises.</a> (There are also, of course, <a href="http://digitalcommons.unl.edu/englishfacpubs/105/" target="_blank">significant collaborations</a> between scholars in both fields.)<br />
<br />
This could be the beginning of a beautiful friendship. I realize a marriage between machine learning and literary theory sounds implausible: people who enjoy one of these things are pretty likely to believe the other is fraudulent and evil.** But after reading through a couple of ML textbooks,*** I’m convinced that literary theorists and computer scientists wrestle with similar problems, in ways that are at least loosely congruent. Neither field is interested in the mere accumulation of data; both are interested in understanding <em>the way</em> we think and <em>the kinds of</em> patterns we recognize in language. Both fields are interested in problems that lack a single correct answer, and have to be mapped in shades of gray (ML calls these shades “probability”). Both disciplines are preoccupied with the danger of overgeneralization (literary theorists call this “essentialism”; computer scientists call it “overfitting”). Instead of saying “every interpretation is based on some previous assumption,” computer scientists say “every model depends on some prior probability,” but there’s really a similar kind of self-scrutiny involved.<br />
<br />
It’s already clear that machine learning algorithms (like topic modeling) can be useful tools for humanists. But I think I glimpse an even more productive conversation taking shape, where instead of borrowing fully-formed “tools,” humanists borrow the statistical language of ML to think rigorously about different kinds of uncertainty, and return the favor by exposing the discipline to boundary cases that challenge its methods.<br />
<br />
Won’t quantitative models of phenomena like plot and genre simplify literature by flattening out individual variation? Sure. But the same thing could be said about Freud and Lévi-Strauss. When scientists (or social scientists) write about literature they tend to produce models that literary scholars find overly general. Which doesn’t prevent those models from advancing theoretical reflection on literature! I think humanists, conversely, can warn scientists away from blind alleys by reminding them that concepts like “gender” and “genre” are historically unstable. If you assume words like that have a single meaning, you’re already overfitting your model.<br />
<br />
Of course, if literary theory and computer science do have a conversation, a large part of the conversation is going to be a meta-debate about what the conversation can or can’t achieve. And perhaps, in the end, there will be limits to the congruence of these disciplines. <a href="http://liu.english.ucsb.edu/the-meaning-of-the-digital-humanities/" target="_blank">Alan Liu’s recent essay in <em>PMLA</em></a> pushes against the notion that learning algorithms can be analogous to human interpretation, suggesting that statistical models become meaningful only through the inclusion of human “seed concepts.” I’m not certain how deep this particular disagreement goes, because I think machine learning researchers would actually agree with Liu that statistical modeling never starts from a tabula rasa. Even <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unsupervised_learning" target="_blank">“unsupervised” algorithms</a> have priors. More importantly, human beings have to decide what kind of model is appropriate for a given problem: machine learning aims to extend our leverage over large volumes of data, not to take us out of the hermeneutic circle altogether.<br />
<br />
But as Liu’s essay demonstrates, this is going to be a lively, deeply theorized conversation even where it turns out that literary theory and computer science have fundamental differences. These disciplines are clearly thinking about similar questions: Liu is right to recognize that unsupervised learning, for instance, raises hermeneutic questions of a kind that are familiar to literary theorists. If our disciplines really approach similar questions in incompatible ways, it will be a matter of some importance to understand why.<br />
<br />
* <plug> For more on “literary theory” in the early twentieth century, see the fourth chapter of <a href="http://www.sup.org/book.cgi?id=22262" target="_blank"><em>Why Literary Periods Mattered: Historical Contrast and the Prestige of English Studies</em> (2013, hot off the press).</a> The book has a lovely cover, but unfortunately has nothing to do with machine learning. </plug><br />
<br />
** This post grows out of a conversation I had with Eleanor Courtemanche, in which I tried to convince her that machine learning doesn’t just reproduce the biases you bring to it.<br />
*** Practically, I usually rely on <a href="http://www.cs.waikato.ac.nz/ml/weka/book.html" target="_blank"><em>Data Mining: Practical Machine Learning Tools and Techniques</em></a> (Ian Witten, Eibe Frank, Mark Hall), but to understand the deeper logic of the field I’ve been reading <a href="http://mitpress.mit.edu/books/machine-learning-2" target="_blank"><em>Machine Learning: A Probabilistic Perspective</em></a> (Kevin P. Murphy). Literary theorists may appreciate Murphy’s remark that wealth has a long-tailed distribution, “especially in plutocracies such as the USA” (43).</div>

We’re not doing enough to communicate the value of what we do. Alan Liu’s keynote stressed the importance of humanities advocacy and outlined the creation of<a href="http://4humanities.org/" style="color: #2288bb; text-decoration: none;">4Humanities.org</a> - a “conceptual laboratory” that provides a space for humanists to tell their stories. Digital storytelling outcomes include:<br /><ul style="line-height: 1.4; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0.5em; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 2.5em; padding-right: 2.5em; padding-top: 0px;">

<br />For Liu, public engagement starts with an articulation of fundamental principles which should be long-term, structural and local/global. What do the humanities stand for? Frustrated by the strategic plan outlined by your research institution? Liu and his colleagues at the University of California <a href="http://www.ihc.ucsb.edu/charrette2012/" style="color: #2288bb; text-decoration: none;">were</a>. So they sat down and <a href="http://ucfuture.universityofcalifornia.edu/" style="color: #2288bb; text-decoration: none;">outlined their own vision</a>.<br /><br />To communicate values you need to know what they are. Several key outcomes of the 4Humanities project have been value finding exercises such as <a href="http://4humanities.org/2013/04/what-everyone-says-about-the-humanities-research-project-2/" style="color: #2288bb; text-decoration: none;">What everyone says about the humanities </a>and <a href="http://4humanities.org/category/humanities-plain-and-simple/" style="color: #2288bb; text-decoration: none;">Humanities plain and simple</a>, which challenges contributors to outline why the humanities matter in plain language. Techniques include focus groups, crowd sourcing, and text mining values statements. For a best practice example, Liu pointed to a recently released report and video published by the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, “<a href="http://www.humanitiescommission.org/" style="color: #2288bb; text-decoration: none;">The Heart of the Matter: Commission of the Humanities and Social Sciences</a>.”<br /><br /><b>2. And communicate these stories to our audiences more effectively.</b><br /><br /><div style="text-align: right;">

Engaging with public audiences is not about meeting research impact funding obligations; it’s a social responsibility. Andrea Whitcomb encouraged researchers to resist the notion that academic work is outside society and to develop research projects that emerge from problems and issues outside of academic debate.<br /><br />Alan Liu outlined <a href="http://prezi.com/gpd6ygbijwvi/creating-a-humanities-advocacy-media-plan/" style="color: #2288bb; text-decoration: none;">a framework for public engagement</a>that involved (1) articulating a core message, (2) designing a communications plan (involving the selection of spokespersons - not necessarily the researcher, media channels, and specific media forms and genres) and (3) communicating this message to a specific target audience (such as fellow academics, practitioners or local communities). Researchers should seek to emulate organisations skilled in communicating for social change, such as the <a href="http://occupywallst.org/" style="color: #2288bb; text-decoration: none;">Occupy Movement</a>,<a href="http://moveon.org/" style="color: #2288bb; text-decoration: none;">MoveOn.org</a> and <a href="http://www.amnesty.org/" style="color: #2288bb; text-decoration: none;">Amnesty International</a>. He suggested researchers may like to read Jennifer Earl and Katrina Kimport’s recent book, <a href="https://mitpress.mit.edu/books/digitally-enabled-social-change" style="color: #2288bb; text-decoration: none;">Digitally Enabled Social Change, Activism in the Internet Age</a>.<br /><br />Deb Verhoeven felt it was important that researchers feed data and results back to communities. She described a recent project that engaged communities in the research process from the outset using crowd funding. Not only did the Deakin University Pozzible Campaign, <a href="http://www.pozible.com/collection/detail/53" style="color: #2288bb; text-decoration: none;">Research My World</a>, raise over $20,000 in research funding, it helped build the online profiles of the early career researchers who participated.<br /><br />Jane Davidson, from the <a href="http://www.historyofemotions.org.au/" style="color: #2288bb; text-decoration: none;">ARC Centre of Excellence for the History of Emotions </a>argued that research impact should include creative outcomes as well as traditional research outputs and outlined recent collaborations with ABC radio, schools and the arts. <br /><br />Andrew Jaspan, Editor of <a href="http://theconversation.com/au" style="color: #2288bb; text-decoration: none;">The Conversation</a>, outlined his vision to provide a new business model for news media. The Conversation has 1.3 million unique views per month, with 80% of the audience outside of academia. An Australian success story, over 60% of academic contributors are followed up by other mass media outlets and the recent UK launch will be followed by launches in USA and India. Subsequently, Linguist Alan Dench reminded researchers that, while the written word has primacy in academia, spoken language remains a primary form of communication and is innate to human beings. He urged attendees to speak on the radio and encourage students to practice communicating their research verbally by participating in <a href="http://www.uq.edu.au/grad-school/three-minute-thesis" style="color: #2288bb; text-decoration: none;">Three Minute Thesis</a> competitions.<br /><br /><b>3. But often, we don’t really understand who our audience is.</b><br /><br />Dev Verhoeven reminded researchers that we are not communicating to a homogenous group of people called “the public”. Powerful storytelling necessitates a genuine understanding of our audience/s and these insights are the bedrock of any communication. Not only will this information assist researchers in crafting an impactful message, this kind of focus can assist in making decisions as to the most effective communication channels - vital when time and money are in short supply. Know your audience and design communications to resonate with specific concerns. Then choose the most appropriate communication channel to reach each group. Provide different touch points that allow people to become involved at various levels. For example, some may watch a video or share information on social media, others might like to make a donation or even examine research data for themselves.<br /><br /><b>4. </b><b>It's not enough to start a discussion, we need to change the conversation.</b><br /><br />We need to advocate the humanities on our own terms. Christina Parolin, of the Australian Academy of the Humanities, argued that the term "benefit" captures the intention of research assessment better than "impact". Indeed, Alan Liu <a href="http://4humanities.org/2012/07/alan-liu-the-humanities-and-tomorrows-discoveries/" style="color: #2288bb; text-decoration: none;">prefers the term “discovery”</a> rather than words such as “invention”, and “innovation” as he believes it most aptly expresses the range of human meanings and possibilities associated with technological breakthroughs.<br />Liu suggested that researchers explore <a href="http://georgelakoff.com/" style="color: #2288bb; text-decoration: none;">George Lakoff’s</a> strategic frame analysis, a science based communications methodology that draws from linguistics, psychology, anthropology, political science and communications theory. If you're interested in Lakoff's work you can explore his eWorkshop <a href="http://sfa.frameworksinstitute.org/" style="color: #2288bb; text-decoration: none;">Changing the public conversation on social problems: a beginners guide to strategic frame analysis</a> or read his article <a href="http://books.google.com.au/books/about/Don_t_Think_of_an_Elephant.html?id=zbJ1oxHC9a0C&redir_esc=y" style="color: #2288bb; text-decoration: none;">Framing 101: How to Take Back Public Discourse</a>.<br /><br /><b>5. Continue to question the logic of measurement indicators.</b><br /><br />Carmen Lawrence agreed that accountability for publicly funded research projects was important but compelled the audience to keep asking the hard questions. Why are you asking us to measure this? What is the likely benefit to the academy/society? How many dollars does it take to get <i>one dollar</i> on the desk of a researcher? Christina Parolin agreed that data collection was an issue, citing the administrative burden and cost of preparing case studies, the risk of over engineering the effort to measure impact, and the focus on demonstrating and communicating rather than making the research more beneficial.<br /><br />Lawrence noted the private sector origins of the current obsession with measurement, citing the mantra "If you can't measure it, you can't manage it". She compared dogmatic approaches to measurement with religious devotion stating "The fact that something is hard to measure does not mean that it is not real or important". Indeed she argued that the more any social indicator is used for social decision making, the more it will corrupt the very policies it aims to manage, quoting <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Goodhart%27s_law" style="color: #2288bb; text-decoration: none;">Goodheart’s Law</a> which states "When a measure becomes a target, it ceases to be a good measure".<br /><br /><b>6. Form richer, mutually beneficial collaborations. </b><br /><br />We’re stronger together. Humanists may have different goals but we tend to share a similar vision. Richard Neville, outlined how the State Library of NSW wants to "be a place where conversations happen, either on site or online", an objective which echoed several previous discussions. Yet collaboration between different research centres, disciplines and collecting institutions poses challenges. Neville recognised opportunities to share staff, knowledge and experience based on mutual understanding and frank discussions about expectations, constraints and opportunities. Alec Coles, CEO of the Western Australian Museum, reiterated some of these concerns but was optimistic about ways in which partnerships could add immense value.<br /><br /><b>7. Think global. </b><br /><br />Is the global turn in higher education merely economic opportunism or a genuine desire to train and educate graduates to become global citizens? Masashi Haneda, Vice President (International) of the University of Tokyo, argued that global issues such as climate change, food and water crisis, aging societies, bioethics, security and migrations, necessitated the development of a new global citizen and that the humanities should play a leading role. Krishna Sen, Dean of the UWA Faculty of Arts, was more cautious about the idea of “Global Humanities” arguing the centrality of difference and relativism to the humanities. Yet, the discourse surrounding the Asian century highlights the importance of alternative modes of understanding. According to Krishna, "We are the miners of ideas and we are the real miners of the Asian century".<br /><br /><b>8.

</ul>
<br /><b>9. But be realistic about potential pitfalls and challenges. </b><br /><br />Who is going to pay for it all? Several speakers recognised the logics of current funding systems provided considerable barriers to making such grand visions a reality. An <a href="http://www.news.uwa.edu.au/201307045816/humanities/australasian-consortium-humanities-research-centres-survey-builds-picture-hu" style="color: #2288bb; text-decoration: none;">ACHRC survey of 180 Australian Research Centres</a> led by Tully Barnett revealed that many operate with minimal administrative support - yet this is vital for tracking research impact, planning events and public outreach activity. Training and developing new skills is essential for researchers but this has limits. It it is inefficient to stretch competencies too wide. Research Centres should empower humanists to do what they do best and free their time for research as much as possible.<br /><br />Toby Burrows, Director of eResearch at UWA, urged attendees to be aware of “The Nasties” when planning websites and databases. Blogs, social media and open source platforms are not “free”. They involve a long term commitment of time and effort, as well as hard costs involved with backing up data, servers and web hosting. Should you seek open source, commercial or bespoke IT solutions? Burrows outlined pros and cons of working within IT systems or going it alone.<br /><br /><b>10. And stop complaining. </b><br />Robert Phiddian, Director of ACHRC, didn’t mince words in his closing remarks, stating “It’s our own bloody fault” for taking the brace position rather than getting on the front foot. The meeting ended on an optimistic note, with a challenge to experiment, innovate and think differently about the ways in which we undertake and communicate humanities research.<br /><br />There is much to be done but also much that <i>can</i> be don<br />e</div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">Governments are key collectors and producers of large amounts of data that, when released publicly for reuse, can be used in new and innovative ways. In the past, governments would charge a fee for access to this data, but there is increasing evidence that free access will bolster economic activity and efficiency.</span></span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">‘Open data’ is the commitment that some organisations make to allow data to be freely available for reuse.

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">The results of the recent Public Sector Information Survey suggest that many government agencies possess data that could generate significant value if made available for reuse, including by private sector organisations.<span style="color: #58595b; font: 5.8px Helvetica;">65 66 </span>The Australian Government has made progress on this front. A recent report by the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner Open public sector information: from principles to practice, reported that government agencies are actively embracing an open access and proactive disclosure culture. The high response rate to the Public Sector Information Survey and the widespread and growing use of digital and web technologies to support a transformation is another sign of progress.<span style="color: #58595b; font: 5.8px Helvetica;">67</span></span></div>

In other open data news, we have been chatting to open data people in governments all around Australia, from Federal agencies and departments, State/Territory Government representatives and a number of Local Governments. We are pulling together with them something of an informal report on the state of open data in Australia at the moment, as there is a lot happening and a lot planned. Below is a bit of a taste of the good work happening around Australia at the moment, and kudos to the excellent work of all involved!</div>

I'm sure its a very common practice in many parts of the world. However it somehow seems to defy our nation-state bound imagination. Especially in Australia. After a brief period of anxiety in the mid-nineteneth century- peaking in 1849 in the context of migrants moving on to the Californian Goldfields - the concept almost disappeared form our national imaginary.<br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'news gothic mt', tahoma, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">Over the past ten years, Soundwalk Collective has won international recognition for their work of abstracting and re-composing narrative sound pieces through fragments of reality, and by forging evocative journeys in sound that are exhibited in the form of sound installation and performance.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'news gothic mt', tahoma, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">During the month of April 2012 the Collective was given access to the club and the sound systems of Berghain and Panoramabar, 4 days during daytime, and 1 weekend during the regular events.</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'news gothic mt', tahoma, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;"><br style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" /></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'news gothic mt', tahoma, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">The Collective prepared a selection of frequencies and rhythm patterns that were used to make each part of the building vibrate.</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'news gothic mt', tahoma, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;"><br style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" /></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'news gothic mt', tahoma, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">By sending frequency sweeps to the sound system, at a volume between 98dB SPL and 108 dB SPL, each interior surface of the building reacted by filtering the sound and producing new harmonics, vibrations and textures, that are normally unheard by the human ear.</span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 21px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'news gothic mt', tahoma, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: normal;">In the Fall of 2009 the Soundwalk collective embarked aboard an old gaff rigged sailboat equipped with scanners and aerial antennae for a sound odyssey recording the hertzian frequencies along the shores of the Mediterranean basin. Soundwalk continuously scanned and recorded all possible radio interceptions over a range of 40 miles around the boat while close to shore and far out at sea.</span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 21px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'news gothic mt', tahoma, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: normal;"><br /></span></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'news gothic mt', tahoma, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">he 1500 hours of sonic material recorded captures the essence of the Mediterranean coasts: conversations of Libyan fishermen on Greek cargo ships, passing yachts on the Corsican coast, customs officers off the Bay of Naples, voices and whispers, excerpts of music, distant radio noises and morse code communication. The resulting work is resonant of Homer's Odyssey in the form of a sonic fresco totaling 24 hours.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'news gothic mt', tahoma, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'news gothic mt', tahoma, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">The performance consists of a live onstage sound composition during which the originally recorded material is manipulated in real-time accompanied by live synchronized video projection(s). The resulting experience is an immersive environment produced live by musicians and new media artists who reinvent and excite the raw material using turntables, laptops, and other customized media and sound objects.</span>CFWhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14457792149544658163noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5815680890055511981.post-49861329617221925372013-04-26T00:43:00.001-07:002013-04-26T00:43:39.081-07:00Sydney-Melbourne - by plane and bike <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><a href="http://www.sydneyairport.com.au/go/by-bike">Sydney</a>:</span><br />

<br />
The majority of links connect to "2012 year in review" articles published by major online retailers - Boomkat, Juno and Beatport.<br />
<br />
There are also a few things included that I discovered late in the piece from "Dummymag" as well as a couple of things from Blogs I follow (Aquarium Drunkard, Melting Pot, Antvala).<br />
<br />
Boomkat and Juno are British- not sure about Beatport or Dummymag. The blogs are west-coast U.S. and focus on rock and soul rather than electronic music.<br />
<br />
It seems like the best way to listen to this material- without buying it, is through Youtube.<br />
