Three Carnivals

Posted by dlende on November 25, 2008

The latest Encephalon rounds up the best mind and brain blogging over at Ionian Enchantment. Plenty of good material this time, including paranormal beliefs, songbirds, Huntington’s disease, and physical fitness and the brain. Where else can you get all that?!

Grand Rounds 5.9 came out last week over at Dr. Deb. If you’re looking for blogging on medicine and health, Dr. Deb gives us an artful and informative round up. There’s a medical playlist, a mental health playlist, a patient playlist, and even for your aural and literary pleasure.

Moneduloides hosted the latest Four Stone Hearth of anthropology. There you’ll find soils, girating hips, Danes, and figurines… Where else can you get all that?!

Online Survey on Globalization and Grassroots Organizing

Posted by dlende on November 25, 2008

Ben Junge, a friend of mine and a professor of anthropology at SUNY – New Paltz, needs your help! Along with a student, Ben is doing research on “how grassroots groups in the US and Canada make use of the Internet and how (and if) they understand their own struggles in relation to globalization.” Here is the blurb from him about this online survey:

To anyone who represents an organization, project, or network that works on social justice issues (broadly defined, as we are casting the net wide!), I would be very much obliged if you could fill out our survey. The survey is anonymous and short (15-20 min). You can get a bit more info about the project at our New Paltz site on this research. .

Also, we’ve had a couple of sporadic problems with the website, so pls. also feel free to use the following site, which skips the intro and goes right to the survey.

Thanks much for any help and all the best from New Paltz,
Ben Junge

Here is the longer description from Ben about the work. If you want to forward this link to anyone, please do so!
