The RAG parade raised a total of £955.47 with Halifax raising £300.16, which was the most by any college. In second place were James who raised £163.60 and Derwent were able to raise £154.64 which put them in third place. As part of RAG week, £809.50 was raised from reclaiming library fines with the proceeds set to go to Cardiac Risk in the Young. Events were held throughout the week to raise money for charity; a Mega Movie Quiz with Promise Auction was held in the Roger Kirk Centre and there was also a RAG dodgeball tournament.

York impresses in Varsity performance against Durham Despite losing 27-37 to Durham in last weekend’s Varsity tournament York put up a good fight. Although many thought that York would get annihilated by Durham the points came down to the last match of the weekend which Durham needed to win to win. In fact if York had won, the tournament would have been a draw. With Durham being consid- ered one of the top Universities in the country for sport this is a great achievement for York.

GROSS: Good afternoon. I'm Samantha Gross. I'm fellow and director in the Brookings Institution's Energy Security and Climate Initiative. And I'm really happy to welcome all the youth to our panel this afternoon talking about how the U.S. election will impact U.S. engagement on climate change. Right now, we're less than three weeks away from one of the most consequential elections, certainly, in my life, probably in your life too. And particularly because of the diametrically opposed views of the two candidates on climate change. There's so much to talk about and I'm really grateful today to have a very varied and interesting panel today. The wide variety of experiences and expertise. I have two journalists, I have a young activist and then I have three of our own from here at Brookings.

  • From Social Media to Art Making: Synthesizing Filipino Diaspora Discourse on Typhoon Yolanda
    FROM SOCIAL MEDIA TO ART MAKING: SYNTHESIZING FILIPINO DIASPORA DISCOURSE ON TYPHOON YOLANDA A Thesis submitted to the Faculty of the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences of Georgetown University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in Communication, Culture, and Technology By Amanda L. Tira Andrei, B.A. Washington, DC April 19, 2016 Copyright 2016 by Amanda L. Tira Andrei All Rights Reserved ii FROM SOCIAL MEDIA TO ART MAKING: SYNTHESIZING FILIPINO DIASPORA DISCOURSE ON TYPHOON YOLANDA Amanda L. Tira Andrei, B.A. Thesis Advisor: Wayne Osborn, Ph.D. ABSTRACT When Typhoon Haiyan (Yolanda), the deadliest typhoon in recorded history, struck in 2013 it affected not only the people of the Philippines, but the Filipino diaspora around the world. Yet there was a greater need for understanding the disaster as not merely a singular physical event, but a process with deep cultural, socioeconomic, political, emotional, and spiritual implications. In addition to reviewing and examining the studies of social media conversations that occurred in the Philippines directly after the physical event, this research also involved conducting an arts- based research (ABR) experiment of stenciling and mural-making in order to understand the typhoon-as-process more fully. Depending on the context and audience, these areas of research can be useful for understanding a disaster, though they reveal vastly different experiences. Rapid, vast, and immediate, social media can be useful for situational awareness and first responders, though it can be difficult to sift through, noisy, and overlook affected peoples without access to digital goods and services.
