To an area that has already suffered so much, this earthquake in the middle of winter is just so devastating.

Some great references already here in this thread - can my international colleagues help out an Auckland city councillor with some examples of best practice on flood recovery and climate social/community risk from your city research?- thank you!!!!!

Sorry for my basicness but keen on suggestions of readings for how other cities have recovered from floods and yes I’ve done the google search on it but lots of intelligent discussions on here so after recommendations plz economic, social impacts, seen the infrastructure tweets.

Kia ora. Visited a special place this Waitangi morning- Takapūneke reserve. For me so much of our shared history, with its horrors, injustices, fierce hopes, visionary leadership, future aspirations is shared here. Ngā mihi nui Onūku/Akaroa communities onuku.nz/onuku-resource

Here’s an essay on some of the pedagogical issues at stake HT - although in politics it’s also the sense that dominant narratives are shaped and imposed by this AI tech that is also troubling to me

One for the constitutional law nerds! We have made our submission to Parliament's Standing Orders committee review of entrenchment (see photos). It is just wrong that it takes a bigger majority of Parliament to give 16/17YOs the right to vote that to take it away from women 1/2

This book illuminates the process of "spatial racism," a force that has bound oppression up with the geography that African Americans occupy.

I’m trying to think about how to tackle this & would love to hear from other teachers about how they retain the focus on c-production of knowledge (liberation learning) - for me it reinforces the importance of field teaching, group work, oral discussion, critical reflection…

Some issues are easy, students still need skills to research & critically evaluate information, construct nuanced evaluation & develop original insights-but the risks Freire warned about, that teaching is reduced to banking knowledge is on the rise in AI everettsd.org/cms/lib07/WA01

For example take a fairly standard first year politics tutorial question (it could be better constructed but I just quickly typed it in) I asked ‘students’ to define environmental racism and evaluate the strengths and limits of co-governance as a means of addressing this problem

#AcademicTwitter 🧵 like colleagues I’ve been thinking about how ChatGPT challenges is to think about how/why we teach, esp politics. I’m reminded of Freire’ argument about the oppressive nature of a ‘banking model of education’ vs co-production of knowledge. Here’s a #nzpol eg

And then we get surprised when what our modelled narratives told us people cared about… actually wasn’t . Or when we can’t fix a disaster using PR and polling

Political science can be just as bad as a discipline-in recent decades politics w treated as if it was removed from a real world of finite resources, human suffering & ecosystem degradation - apparently politics was all about voting & branding & polling & not about lived lives

There is a kind of breathtaking myopia/detachment when political editorial continues to argue what ever it wanted to say about it’s ‘fixed election narrative’ despite this week being the largest climate related event this country has ever seen, or even that it’s Waitangi weekend

After Auckland’s floods there’s been a lot of focus on physical infrastructure (storm water/engineering) & green infrastructure (from sponge cities to more trees) as climate adaptation but social infrastructure & community leadership is also vital

It shows no such thing. It shows that he has a different view from you. A liberal accepts different views and a fascist doesn’t.

Chief Human Rights Commissioner Paul Hunt’s claim that white supremacy is "woven into the fabric" of New Zealand shows he is unfit for office and reinforces the need to abolish the Human Rights Commission, a left-wing activist organisation masquerading as a government department.

1 / 2 This farmer describes a major drawback of product limit regulation. However, EU milk quotas between 1984 and 2015 contributed to a reduction in dairy cows which helped to improve air and water quality.
Quote Tweet
Government making a Dairy Farm in Southern Ontario dump 30,000 litres of milk because they have gone over quota.
Can’t donate it to a food bank, or to a hospital, or to a homeless shelter. Right down the drain so we can pay $7 per litre for milk.
