These are notes for my thesis and independent study with Linda Vanasupa.

Notes

  • This WHMF experience was magical in so many ways, but I'm only slowly starting to understand that this is a lived form of research even though the orthodox definition of research doesn't apply. One could call this Emancapatory action research after Ledwith, 2006.
  • question to myself: how can we look at the spring 2021 semester as a participatory action research?
  • and unchecked positive loop will ultimately destroy itself.
  • wait and create an environment where people want to do something. But humans need time to change. Humans need to learn how to learn, how to become a learning society. Encouring reflection, learning, and personal choice.
  • Current science allows us to rule out a range of future as unrealistic.

systems with humans will

  • limited predictability
  • bounded rationality
  • limited certainty
  • undetermined causality
  • evolutionary change

Vocabulary

  • amelioration - the act of making something better; improvement.
  • paradigm - a typical example or pattern of something; a model. or a set of linguistic items that form mutually exclusive choices in particular syntactic roles.
  • heterodox - not conforming with accepted or orthodox standards or beliefs.
  • counterintuitive
  • panacea
  • expenditures & depreciation
  • leverage point or bandaid in Odalys's words
  • panarchy a term to describe a concept that explains the evolving nature of complex adaptive systems. P. is the hierarchical structure in which systems of nature (forests, grasslands), and humans (structures of governance, settlements, and cultures), as well as combines human-nature systems (agencies that control natural resources) and social-ecological systems are interlinked in never-ending adaptive cycles of growth, accumulation, restructuring, and renewal. - (from pan- and -archy), coined by Paul Émile de Puydt in 1860, is a form of governance that would encompass all others.

Questions

  • Is there any reason in choosing a specific citation style?
  • Is the only thing that is not a positive feedback loop a balancing loop?
