Kele Stewart, an Associate Professor of Clinical Legal Education here at U.M., has been named a Fulbright Scholar.
Kele will spend a year in Trinidad, based at Hugh Wooding Law School where she will study the implementation of the child welfare system in Trinidad and establish a child advocacy clinic at Hugh Wooding.
No idea why, but the widget is working right now, so I’ve restored it to the right column. I like the colors.
The Surveillance Studies Network has launched a call for papers for Cultures of Surveillance for an event to be held at UCL London Sept. 29-Oct. 1. Looks like I’d learn stuff — they’re very interdisciplinary.
Unfortunately I’m already planning to be in Oxford for the OII’s A Decade in Internet Time: Symposium on the Dynamics of the Internet and Society, Sept. 21-24, where I’m giving a paper. And I don’t think I can justify staying on in the UK for another week to go to both. Even if I were to crash on friends’ couches to hold down expenses — and I think I still have enough friends there to pull it off — I could never justify missing nearly two weeks of classes when I’m going to be teaching first-year Torts again.
Pity.
Stuart Shieber writes about what he believes is the oldest extant human artifact that has survived due to continual maintenance. I wonder if there’s anything older in China?
The WP Google Weather Widget I’ve had in the sidebar decided for no apparent reason today to go nuts.
Instead of a pretty picture, I got:
Warning: simplexml_load_string() [function.simplexml-load-string]: in {directorypath}/plugins/wp-google-weather/wp-google-weather.php on line 162
The error is highly reproducible, so it looks like it may be toast, although I can’t figure out what might have changed on my end to cause this. Nor it seems can others.
I’ve substituted the WP Wunderground widget, at least for the time being.
The law school has put the entire video of my installation into the Laurie Silvers and Mitchell Rubenstein Endowed Distinguished Professorship up online. Unlike my prepared text, the video version allows you to see the other presenters, including my good friends Vice Dean Patrick Gudridge, Prof. Jonathan Weinberg and Cindy Cohn, as they do their job and vastly exaggerate my accomplishments. There’s even a surprise guest appearance by Prof. David Abraham at the end.
