Hulu’s first Original Series for kids will be back for Season 2 with all new original episodes starting May 25th, from The Jim Henson Company (Dot, Splash and Bubbles, Word Party, Dinosaur Train). DOOZERS is an animated preschool series for kids featuring four best friends who live in Doozer Creek, a wonderful blending of a fantastical, modern and eco-friendly community. Dubbed “the Pod Squad,” Spike, Molly Bolt, Flex and Daisy Wheel bounce from one fabulous kid adventure to the next. Like a scout troop, the Pod Squad engages in exciting projects and has a blast playing together. The series celebrates the spirit of being an innovator and inspires all kids to have an “I can do it” attitude. DOOZERS features a ground-breaking design thinking curriculum, which is part of an overall STEAM (science, technology, engineering, art, math) initiative. These DOOZERS are DOERS and put their ideas into action! “The new season of DOOZERS continues to inspire and encourage invention and innovation,” said Halle Stanford, President of Television for The Jim Henson Company. “Parents can rest assured that their little DOOZER fans will continue to learn critical and creative thinking skills as they follow the Pod Squad on their playful adventures.” The Jim Henson Company has appointed Canada’s DHX Media to provide production and animation services for the series.

  • Poetic Play Communities: Bpnichol's Fraggle Rock Screenplays By
    Poetic Play Communities: bpNichol’s Fraggle Rock Screenplays by Andrew McEwan B.A. Hons., University of Toronto, 2012 A THESIS SUBMITTED IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF MASTER OF ARTS in THE FACULTY OF GRADUATE AND POSTDOCTORAL STUDIES (English) THE UNIVERSITY OF BRITISH COLUMBIA (Vancouver) August 2014 © Andrew McEwan, 2014 Abstract This thesis analyzes the screenplays written by Canadian experimental poet bpNichol for the Jim Henson produced children’s television program Fraggle Rock between 1982 and 1986. Nichol’s Fraggle Rock writing represents a moment in his multi-genre oeuvre at which to observe his poetics and creative philosophies on display in a popular cultural setting. The ludic poetics exhibited in both the form and narratives of the screenplays display the ways in which playful engagement with language may create interactive communities of play. Through shared attitudes towards language, language games, nonsense, and absurdity, play and play communities emerge as a preoccupation of Nichol’s work within the Fraggle Rock narrative constraints, and links them with his poetry and poetics. To explore Nichol’s specific figuring of play, this thesis surveys theories of play from diverse theoretical backgrounds to develop a ludic model based in player-to-player relationships and communication. It also analyzes canonical treatments of play to mark off the concerns of the current study, and address the ambiguities of the term. Nichol’s Fraggle Rock screenplays employ song, language, and poetry as forms of community experience and engagement that foster play relationships, and allow individuals to collectively manipulate the forms of their communication.

    Homines Oeconomici or Moral Saints? On the Purpose of Educating Civil Engineers Jardar Lohne ([email protected]) Frode Drevland ([email protected]) Tina Åsgård ([email protected]) Tore Hoven ([email protected]) Ola Lædre ([email protected]) Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering, NTNU Truls Ryum ([email protected]) Department of Psychology, NTNU Abstract Understanding one’s own role as a professional – and the role of one’s profession – within society at large is crucial for good conduct and practice. The ambition of this paper is to address 1) how we can envisage how to develop the reflexive capacity of students of Civil Engineering to undertake critical scrutiny of their own practice and, 2) to what extent are Norwegian civil engineering students are educated to incarnate such a reflexive capacity today. The main basis of the research consists in a content analysis of the formalized guidelines governing the education of Civil Engineers at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU). In addition to a scoping literature review, insights from theory on what constitutes a profession and the role of professions in general were used as analytic tools. The findings indicate that limited attention is given to transmitting the understanding of the role the students are to fill in their professional lives. Even less attention is given to actually articulating such an understanding. Particularly interesting, however, is the limited attention given to considerations of a more principal nature concerning the ability to transcend (in a positive manner) the limits within which one normally operates.
