Thank you to the Oberlin College Anthropology Department, for providing me with the opportunity to pursue this research and for granting me the Jerome Davis Research Award, with which I was able to attend the 2017 American Anthropology Association annual conference in Washington, DC. I would like also to express my humble appreciation to Dr. Hugh Gusterson, Professor of International Affairs and Anthropology at George Washington University, who was generous enough to first lend me his time, his ear, and his advice at that conference, and then agree to act as the examiner for my thesis. I look forward to hearing your insights on my work, which I have no doubt will be cogent, stimulating, and challenging.

  • Make the Right Thing [Entire Talk]
    Stanford eCorner Make the Right Thing [Entire Talk] Alberto Savoia, Google 13-03-2019 URL: https://ecorner.stanford.edu/video/make-the-right-thing-entire-talk/ As Google’s first engineering director, Alberto Savoia led the team that launched Google’s revolutionary AdWords project. After founding two startups, he returned to Google in 2008 and he assumed the role of “Innovation Agitator,” developing trainings and workshops to catalyze smart, impactful creation within the company. Drawing on his book The Right It, he begins with the premise that at least 80 percent of innovations fail, even if competently executed. He discusses how to reframe the central challenge of innovation as a question not of skill or technology, but of market demand: Will anyone actually care? Savoia shares strategies for winning the fight against failure, by using a rapid-prototyping technique he calls “pretotyping.” Transcript (Techno music) - [Announcer] Who you are defines how you build.. (techno music) - [Alberto] This is my battle cry these days, failure bites, bite back.. I'm a serial entrepreneur, and I kind of got my butt kicked a few times and the last time I decided I don't want this to ever happen again to me, or anyone else.. My mission to help entrepreneurs, most of you here, to teach you how to fight failure and win consistently.. But first, let me tell you, I'm gonna structure it very simply, seven strategies in 35 minutes.. I don't have a lot of time, but fortunately, there is a book that you can buy out there that, you know, you can spend six hour in my company.

  • RML Spring 2021 Rights Guide
    NON-FICTION TO STAND AND STARE: How To Garden While Doing Next to Nothing Andrew Timothy O’Brien There’s a lot of advice out there that would tell you how to do numerous things in your garden. But not so much that invites you to think about how to be while you’re out there. With increasingly busy lives, yet another list of chores seems like the very last thing any of us needs when it comes to our own practice of self-care, relaxation and renewal. After all, aren’t these the things we wanted to escape to the garden for in the first place? Put aside the ‘Jobs to do this week’ section in the Sunday papers. What if there were a more low-intervention way to On submission Spring 2021 garden, some reciprocal arrangement through which both you and your soil get fed, with the minimum degree of fuss, effort and guilt on your part, and the maximum measure of healthy, organic growth on that of your garden? In To Stand and Stare, Andrew Timothy O’Brien weaves together strands of botany, philosophy and mindfulness to form an ecological narrative suffused with practical gardening know-how. Informed by a deep understanding and appreciation of natural processes, O’Brien encourages the reader to think from the ground up, as we follow the pattern of a plant’s growth through the season – roots, shoots, and fruits – while advocating an increased awareness of our surroundings. ANDREW TIMOTHY O’BRIEN is an online gardening coach, blogger and host of the critically acclaimed Gardens, Weeds & Words podcast.
