On The Subject Of Sustainability, Patricia Pedrus Dec 2011

On The Subject Of Sustainability, Patricia Pedrus

Patricia Pedrus (Patti) M.A. in ESOL

In today’s global world where the earth’s natural resources are being bombarded by climate change, land degradation, and biodiversity impacts, the need to redefine the term sustainability is crucial. We often ask ourselves, why has earth gone mad? Instead, we should ask why has our value system gone bad? Indeed, our value system is one in which money and material goods are coveted. We live in a world where time is money. In fact, problems arise when money is perceived as the only means to progress. Sustainability does not necessarily depend on more money for progress. It can mean just …

The Feminine Experience In The Margins Of The British Empire, Francoise Le Jeune Pr

My “Country” Lies Over The Ocean: Seasteading And Polycentric Law, Allen P. Mendenhall Dec 2011

My “Country” Lies Over The Ocean: Seasteading And Polycentric Law, Allen P. Mendenhall

Allen Mendenhall

This essay considers the implications of the Seasteading Institute upon notions of law and sovereignty and argues that seasteading could make possible the implementation or ordering of polycentric legal systems while providing evidence for the viability of private-property anarchism or anarchocapitalism, at least in their nascent forms. This essay follows in the wake of Edward P. Stringham’s edition Anarchy and the Law and treats seasteading and polycentric law as concrete realities that lend credence to certain anarchist theories. Polycentric law in particular allows for institutional diversity that enables a multiplicity of rules to coexist and even compete in the open …

Writing Lab Accessibility: The User-Centered Approach And Participatory Design As Collaborative Methodologies, Dana Lynn Driscoll Dec 2011

Writing Lab Accessibility: The User-Centered Approach And Participatory Design As Collaborative Methodologies, Dana Lynn Driscoll

Dana Driscoll

This article discusses issues of accessibility and how user-centered and participatory approaches can inform empirical research
to guide the Universal Design of virtual spaces and influence writing center efforts for students with disabilities. Because this article
describes how to integrate usability/accessibility testing for online and in-person services, it can work as a model for writing centers
struggling with the challenges of serving students with disabilities. Toward this end, the article discusses two generations of usability
testing on a large, well-established online writing lab (the Purdue OWL), as well as the collaborative projects that emerged between
the usability team and campus …
