Workshop description  

Addressing current and accelerating environmental injustice around the world will depend on students we are educating today. Students need to learn about many types of environmental hazards and how to quickly characterize the different contexts and communities impacted by them. They need experience working with different kinds of data and to develop sharp analytical skills．

In this presentation, I’ll share the Environmental Injustice Case Study Framework and how we have mobilized it both in our classrooms and in the communities we study.

Speaker Biography

Kim Fortun is a Professor in the University of California Irvine’s Department of Anthropology.　Her research and teaching focus on environmental risk and disaster, data practices and politics, and experimental ethnographic methods and research design. Her research has examined how people in different geographic and organizational contexts understand environmental problems, uneven distributions of environmental health risks, developments in the environmental health sciences, and factors that contribute to disaster vulnerability.

Currently, she is working on an array of collaborative projects, including the Asthma Files, the Quotidian Anthropocene Project, and the Transnational Disaster STS COVID-19 Project, all supported by the Platform for Experimental Collaborative Ethnography. Fortun co-edits a book series for University of Pennsylvania Press, Critical Studies in Risk and Disaster, designed to connect academic research to public problems and policy, reaching audiences in different regions of the world.

September 2017- 2019, Fortun served as President of the Society for Social Studies of Science, the international scholarly society representing the field of Science and Technology Studies.

“Good Practices” (Online Class / Web Conference Portal Site: Part 2)

Today we would like to introduce the page “Good Practices” from the website “Online Class / Web Conference Portal Site” to you.

 

 

 

 

This page (https://utelecon.github.io/good-practice/ )(*in Japanese) is for sharing the good practices of online classes conducted at the University of Tokyo. It offers interviews with the instructors who received a lot of positive feedback from students in the comment section regarding “Classes that used good strategies” in the online course evaluation questionnaire at the University of Tokyo. This time, the target is limited to undergraduate courses.

We completed interviews with 14 instructors as of the end of September 2020 and have been working on publishing articles on various strategies used for synchronous and on-demand online classes. You can narrow down the articles by the number of students and what kind of tools were used.

 

Interviews with nine instructors are published at this point. We are sure that these articles will be helpful to you even if their fields are different from yours. Please take a look at them!

Online Class / Web Conference Portal Site: Part 1

“Online Class / Web Conference Portal Site @ the University of Tokyo | utelecon” is a one-stop website to help students and faculty/staff members at the University of Tokyo collect information on online classes and web conferences. https://utelecon.adm.u-tokyo.ac.jp/en

 

The website outlines ITC-LMS (learning management system) and web conference systems such as Zoom, provides instructions to use these tools, and shares information on events. It also helps you in creating an account to use these services.

“Application/Report Form” with a description of a support desk and the class supporter system for people affiliated with the University of Tokyo is available, too.

A recent update of the website is the “Good Practices” page which shares information on good practices in online classes. Lunchtime information exchange meetings that were held in the S Semester are ongoing in the A Semester, too. The videos and materials of the meetings are available online.

The website is strongly recommended to the students and faculty/staff members at the University of Tokyo, but there are also a lot of pages for people outside the University. We hope they will be informative for you to know how a university is trying to adjust its education to the world under a coronavirus pandemic.

We would like to introduce the contents of this “Online Class / Web Conference Portal Site” in a coming series of posts.

(Please note that the website was created in a short time with some unfinished pages and is subject to frequent updates and changes due to the fluid situation of the pandemic. The website was launched by the Information Technology Center, The University of Tokyo and the Center for Research and Development of Higher Education. We would appreciate further cooperation of people/institutions affiliated with the University to improve and refine the contents.)
