HCJ2 - Hannah Arendt, Eichman, Kant

Superb thing here on Hannah Arendt http://www.youtube.com/user/egsvideo#p/c/A96B01E0C658EDE4/0/vOwdsO6KkkI

Meanwhile 'The Banality of Evil' - Eichman on trial in Jerusalem. He uses Kant's philosophy as his defence for the the holocaust. Hannah rescues Kant with an existentialist reading.

Winchester comes top for postgrad student satisfaction

More evidence that Winchester - the UK's newest and best small university - is making a mark. A government survey by the Higher Education Academy has ranked the university as one of the best centre for postgraduate (that's MA level) teaching in the country. 92 percent of postgraduate students said that their course had met or exceeded their expectations compared to an average for universities as a whole of of 85 percent. Earlier this year the university won a times Higher Educational Supplement award for excellence. We've had our own award from the BJTC so things are on the up...

general election

Highlights of General Election night are now available on the WINOL site - http://www.winol.co.uk. I am re-doing the the whole WINOL site design and CMS system a t the moment so it will be easier to add text articles and video stories (other than those for the main bulletin) so it will all be better and more up to date.

HCJ second year - absolutely fantastic thing here for linguistic philosophy which dominates the culminating second half of the second year. Well worth a listen.

Zeigeist - Ridley Scott

Brian and I are editing the year three 'day in the life of Winchester'. It appears that Ridley Scott - director of the popular and somewhat corny '80s Nietzchean sci-fi film Blade Runner - has stolen the idea for a Day in the life of the Word project.

charlotte Purkis, a lecturer in dance and performance writes:

was wondering whether there is any student you could recommend who might be around to help me make a very brief (scripted) recording, hopefully using your studio?

I am giving a conference paper soon and I wanted to make a 5 minute recording of myself talking cutting in a few bits of music and a bit of a film soundtrack and to use this as the start of my paper. [Its on ficto-criticism - interesting].

I could pay a student to help do this.

Tuesday next week would work well for me, if it was possible to use the studio at about noon (I"ve got a meeting at 11am which I will not be able to stand more than one hour of...).

I guess it would take up to one hour, hopefully less to do the task.

If you are interested in helping please urgently contact Charlotte.Purkis@winchester.ac.uk

Last bit of Conference Material

The last bit of video from the Innovation Journalism conference. It is Keith Devlin of Stanford talking about induction, inference, probability and so on - the philosophical material we deal with in HCJ (in year one, to do mainly with Hume and also Aristotle and the enlightenment; and in year two with the Vienna Circle leading through Logical Positivism to Karl Popper). There is also important material here about the reliability of DNA evidence which is of use for The Innocence project.

KEITH DEVLIN: PART ONE

KEITH DEVLIN: PART TWO

Interesting, useful stuff I would suggest.

Endorsement from the Higher Education Academic (NTF), which looks at standards in particular across the whole university sector, for the L+T team effort in the journalism and media area supported by the university has been doing in the area of live webcasting, blogs and use of the web generally:

"This is an outstanding example of teaching and learning development in the digital age... The practice outlined in this application is at the cutting edge of teaching and learning at this moment in time... I do think that this is the most inspiring example of an NTF application that I have seen."

So I think we have got a good thing going at Winchester, small and unknown as we are (at the moment).

Investigative Journalism - Facebook hacking

Marketing companies, the police and intelligence agencies routinely access Facebook databases, email and Google searches to harvest personal information that many innocently believe to be private. Now journalists are doing the same to gather information for investigative exposes. Hear the details in the latest video from the Innovation Journalism conference at Stanford University by following this link to the Winchester Journalism You Tube channel:

http://www.youtube.com/user/Winchesterjournalism

Or if that does not work, try this link:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N5qRISzsujU

These vids are being made for teaching on the journalism BA and the new full-time MA - which will be the best and most advanced journalism course in Europe. But they also be of use for law, marketing and media courses.

The next vids will discuss how press officers and marketing people are using content analysis software to harass journalists - and how to take counter measures. That will be followed by a multi-part interview with the professor of the Public Understanding of Science at Stanford on a variety of subjects including the (un)reliability of DNA evidence in criminal trials and the philosophy of science and mathematics generally. Don'ty touch that dial!
