Tech Researchers for Palestine Workshop: Researching & Organizing Around Academic-Military Ties

When: Tuesday, September 17, 5-6:30PM ET, online only. RSVP here to receive the zoom link! In this workshop, hosted by Tech Researchers for Palestine, organizers from campuses across the United States will share methods for uncovering financial and academic ties to the military-industrial complex. Through a series of 4 case studies, we will share concrete steps for uncovering financial ties, both via university endowments and research funding, as well as other kinds of academia connections. We will also share strategies for using this research as a vehicle for organizing and action toward cutting these financial ties. We will include time for co-working for groups to get started doing initial research steps and strategizing for their own institutional context, so that participants can leave with concrete next steps. Consider inviting a friend from your department or university who can co-work with you on this research! Note: All fields are optional. We will only use your email address to send you the zoom link.

How do constructivist qualitative researchers feel about being surrounded by objectivity in their STEM discipline? How do you deal with explaining your research to them? I am having a hard time explaining the novelty of my research to my friends.
Can anyone provide tips for reviewing journal papers esp. in Psychology (for a CS researcher)?

Happy #IndigenousPeoplesDay to my fellow American immigrants, and to the folks who were here first!

The Electronic Frontier Foundation will award Alexandra Elbakyan, founder of the 'pirate' library Sci-Hub, for her efforts to provide access to scientific knowledge.

Without Sci-Hub, many academics would be unable to complete their research projects.

#EFF also highlights that Elbakyan’s work helps to challenge the current academic publishing system, where researchers are used as unpaid workhorses.

the awful habit of CS academics throwing technology at every socioeconomic problem is WILD.

@juchidiuno @andresmh I'm not sure what TAPs are but I have used Zotero plug in in Google docs and Word to cite papers with minimal cognitive effort. It scales really well for <100 citations for me

RTs appreciated!
