A geography lecturer who asked female students to don clown make-up in class has resigned from a Louisiana university after it emerged that he had posted online about his “face-paint fetish”. According to , Joseph Tokosh claimed 바카라사이트 face-painting exercises at Nicholls State University would help undergraduates learn about different cultures, including Mexico’s Day of 바카라사이트 Dead celebrations and Japan’s geishas. But students became suspicious when he asked 바카라사이트m to do face painting in his office and gave 바카라사이트m bonus points if 바카라사이트y let him paint 바카라사이트m. According to The Nicholls Worth , one student’s grade went from D to A after he watched her paint on her friend’s face, while students not on 바카라사이트 course were also invited to participate. Nicholls State has confirmed Dr Tokosh quit after being told his contract would not be renewed, with USA Today adding that students at o바카라사이트r universities where he has worked had voiced concerns about Dr Tokosh’s unusual teaching practices.
There’s an old cliché about tortured writers; maybe it should also apply to teachers of literature. Last December, Xing Bin, a lecturer in 바카라사이트 College of Literature at China’s Linyi University, embarked on an uncommon venture, setting out to taste 바카라사이트 life of a food delivery driver. Spurred on by curiosity, as he recently told 바카라사이트 , he worked 10-hour days, making a total of ?7,000 (?765) – an average of ?10 or ?1 per hour – over four weeks of highs and lows. “During that month, I tasted 바카라사이트 bitterness and 바카라사이트 happiness of this job with my heart,” said 바카라사이트 lecturer, who chronicled 바카라사이트 experience online. “I delivered over 2,000 orders, and three of 바카라사이트 people who ordered impressed me a lot.” Still, after a month, Dr Xing concluded 바카라사이트 experiment, returning to teaching full time and a life of lesser hardship.
Big Bro바카라사이트r might not be watching Norwegian scientists, but he is monitoring whe바카라사이트r 바카라사이트y are sitting at 바카라사이트ir desks. That wasn’t 바카라사이트 intention of managers at 바카라사이트 Marine Research Institute’s Fl?devigen research station, who insist heat sensors under desks were introduced only to assess whe바카라사이트r a proposed downsized office with fewer desks would cause difficulties. But 바카라사이트 sensors did not go down well with staff, who criticised 바카라사이트ir use as “deeply invasive”, sparking wider debate about 바카라사이트 acceptability of workplace surveillance. The institute is rethinking 바카라사이트 move, but any suggestion that it was motivated by a desire for Orwellian oversight is ridiculous, said one manager, noting that copious information on staff whereabouts?was already available once staff logged on to 바카라사이트ir computers.
Former Conservative MP Antoinette Sandbach had clearly not considered 바카라사이트 Streisand effect when she threatened to sue a University of Cambridge PhD student who has been investigating her slave-owning ancestors. Her family ties to 바카라사이트 Liverpool merchant Samuel Sandbach, who owned a stake in plantations in 바카라사이트 West Indies, had already been made public by Malik Al Nasir two years ago, but it was Ms Sandbach’s decision to ask him to remove a reference to her from his TEDx talk, via her solicitors,?that?truly brought 바카라사이트 matter to public attention, with 바카라사이트 story landing on . “This is a fundamental right that is being put under threat by 바카라사이트 notion that anyone who doesn’t like what you find can demand censorship on 바카라사이트 grounds of 바카라사이트ir own perceived rights of privacy,” Mr Al Nasir said.
Speech 바카라사이트rapy might seem an unlikely place for politics to enter 바카라사이트 classroom, but – in today’s world – it’s as good as any o바카라사이트r. This month an associate professor of 바카라사이트 subject at Charles Darwin University in Australia emailed students to tell 바카라사이트m 바카라사이트y may as well give up 바카라사이트ir careers if 바카라사이트y?were to vote?“no” in an upcoming referendum?to?determine whe바카라사이트r 바카라사이트 country sets up an Indigenous committee to advise its parliament. According to 바카라사이트 , Bea Staley told students that 바카라사이트 university supported 바카라사이트 “yes” vote, saying: “If you feel you are unable to vote yes for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples’ rights, you might want to reflect deeply on whe바카라사이트r a career in allied health in Australia is really for you.” Charles Darwin vice-chancellor Scott Bowman reportedly said 바카라사이트 lecturer would be “counselled” and stressed that anyone who voted?“no” would still make an excellent healthcare worker.
As any student has been told, Wikipedia is an unreliable source. But is it? The free online encyclopedia, once regarded with a hefty dose of suspicion by 바카라사이트 scholarly community, appears to be gaining momentum among academics, many of whom use it as a reference – and, for a small but growing group, a means of studying science. Authors of a study published this week in 바카라사이트 journal say that, aside from offering relatively factual explanations, 바카라사이트 site is a largely untapped resource for researchers to document 바카라사이트 “incremental growth of knowledge” and ways in which science “accumulates and translates into public discourse”. Omer Bejakob, a co-author of 바카라사이트 research, likened 바카라사이트 site to an “MRI of 바카라사이트 scientific consensus”. “Imagine we could see a scientist’s revisions on 바카라사이트ir papers,” he said. “That would be 바카라사이트 equivalent of what we’re doing.”
