I Am You: the Metaphysical Foundations for Global Ethics I AM YOU Internal observer's physics summary Hypothesis of objectively existing world, since the beginning of the last century, is being seriously attacked not only by theoretical physics, but recently also by experimental quantum physics. Locally-realistic thinking doesn’t seem reliable any more. All this makes scientists who are not satisfied by current situation, when we are able to make quantum calculations, but do not understand how it works, to revert to the question of the bases of QM. Undoubtedly, the key issue is the role and the status of observer in the QM. Everett was the first one to try to get rid of Descartes “infernal” observer. He tried to build the realistic physical model of the observer and to imbed it into the theory. But it did not work. In our work we analyze what the laws of physics will be like for the observer, being part of the same system, which he observes? In contradistinction to Everett, we do not limit ourselves by speculating of the physical nature of observer. We create the model of abstract observer and get unexpected results. Self- referential interaction of the observer with himself creates quantum-relative reality! Thus, we have proved that our «toy» model generates the physics very similar to physics of our real world, and we have reason to think that this is not a coincidence.

  • Performance As a Site for Learning
    The Pennsylvania State University The Graduate School School of Visual Arts QUEERING OURSELVES: PERFORMANCE AS A SITE FOR LEARNING A Thesis in Art Education by Garnell E. Washington Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy December 2005 ii Committee Page The thesis of Garnell E. Washington has been reviewed and approved* by the following: Yvonne M. Gaudelius Professor of Art Education & Women’s Studies Associate Dean, College of Arts & Architecture Thesis Advisor Chair of Committee Marjorie Wilson Associate Professor of Art Education Christine Marme Thompson Professor of Art Education Professor In-Charge of Graduate Programs In Art Education Ian E. Baptiste Associate Professor of Education Mary Ann Stankiewicz Professor of Art Education Professor In-Charge of Art Education Program *Signatures are on file in the Graduate School. iii Abstract The following study examines learning communities that are involved with art. It is an investigation of culture in action and community as interactivity. Here learning and culture are both examined “as” performance, as a happening only understood in hindsight, as an event that becomes known through experience. By employing queer criticism, I engage in a process of re-considering, re-investigating, and re-examining what I thought was familiar about the cultures that are near me. In this study I ask how various performances of my art classroom are and are not related to one another. In this report queer theory is combined with performance theory to articulate alternative notions of subjectivity. The combination of queer and performance theory is useful because it forces knowledge to be understood as activity.

    ! ! The ‘Race Riot’ Within and Without ‘The Grrrl One’; Ethnoracial Grrrl Zines’ Tactical Construction of Space by Addie Shrodes A thesis presented for the B. A. degree with Honors in The Department of English University of Michigan Winter 2012 ! ! ! ! © March 19, 2012 Addie Cherice Shrodes ! ! Acknowledgements I wrote this thesis because of the help of many insightful and inspiring people and professors I have had the pleasure of working with during the past three years. To begin, I am immensely indebted to my thesis adviser, Prof. Gillian White, firstly for her belief in my somewhat-strange project and her continuous encouragement throughout the process of research and writing. My thesis has benefitted enormously from her insightful ideas and analysis of language, poetry and gender, among countless other topics. I also thank Prof. White for her patient and persistent work in reading every page I produced. I am very grateful to Prof. Sara Blair for inspiring and encouraging my interest in literature from my first Introduction to Literature class through my exploration of countercultural productions and theories of space. As my first English professor at Michigan and continual consultant, Prof. Blair suggested that I apply to the Honors program three years ago, and I began English Honors and wrote this particular thesis in a large part because of her. I owe a great deal to Prof. Jennifer Wenzel’s careful and helpful critique of my thesis drafts. I also thank her for her encouragement and humor when the thesis cohort weathered its most chilling deadlines. I am thankful to Prof. Lucy Hartley, Prof.

  • Am Me LGBTQ+ Resource Guide V.1 2 This LGBTQ+ Resource Guide
    “I Am Me: Understanding the Intersections of Gender, Sexuality, and Identity” is an educational training video that explores the challenges our lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, etc. (LGBTQ+) young people face and how adults can be supportive allies. The video begins with the concepts of gender identity, gender expression, and sexual orientation and then explores the challenges that LGBTQ+ youth face through personal stories from young people and adult advocates. The video ends with youth sharing how they need to be supported and a checklist on how to participate in acts of allyship for LGBTQ+ youth. To watch the full I Am Me video, go here: http://www.nmsoc.org/cocvideos.html This LGBTQ+ training video and resource guide were created in 2016 by the New Mexico Communities of Care in partnership with 12FPS (12fps.com) and Prevention at Play (www.preventionatplay.com). New Mexico Communities of Care’s primary objective is to keep youth, who have a serious mental health diagnosis, with their family and in their community getting the care that they need. This video is one of many efforts to ensure that adults, working with youth, have the knowledge and skills they need to support youth in all areas of service. Our hope is that this video will positively impact adults and improve outcomes for youth in any arena (schools, community organizations, communities of faith, families, etc.) working with or connected to LGBTQ+ young people.

  • Writing As an Expression of Self & in Relation to Others Meg Stentz D
    WRITING AS AN EXPRESSION OF SELF & IN RELATION TO OTHERS 1 “I Am Who I Want To Be Not Who You Want Me To Be”: Writing as an Expression of Self & In Relation to Others Meg Stentz Dr. Beverly Moss The Ohio State University WRITING AS AN EXPRESSION OF SELF & IN RELATION TO OTHERS 2 Abstract By adding a writing component to an existing model of structured support group, Stentz examines the way four ninth grade girls use writing to define their own identities and their relationships with one another. Her research centers around questions about how writing is received in the group: how does writing further the goals of an organization which seeks to promote connection between girls? And, how do the girls use writing, as opposed to speaking, to articulate their identities? Stentz found that girls’ use of writing provides an opportunity to put forward a vision of the self that the girls do not access in speech. Furthermore, the girls use writing—both the words and the act itself—to demonstrate and strengthen their friendships and allegiances within the group. Stentz analyzed the girls’ writings and speaking in the support group to reach these conclusions, as well as interviewing each girl at the end of the project. Stentz’s project indicates the usefulness of writing in a group that seeks to promote connection between its members and may be of interest to individuals who work with groups, particularly groups of teenaged girls.
