Dear Ma (Janie), Ed, Larry and All,

Working here on getting the Agenda and News out for MIT OCW-centric wiki World University and School's Annual Meeting at WUaS Monthly Business Meeting on Saturday.

Here are the most recent Minutes in these regards:

Minutes:
- https://worlduniversityandschool.blogspot.com/2019/10/minutes-for-world-univ-sch-monthly.html

- https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2019/10/scintillant-hummingbird-minutes-for.html


Another reason to explore a faculty position at Harvard Anthropology is to facilitate the research for and writing of a next book I'm planning, namely a MIT-Stanford STEM innovation ethnography, since the 1960s. See, for example: http://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2016/07/carrot-compare-stem-cultures-of-mit.html. Being a Harvard Professor, in Cambridge, would allow me to do ethnographic field work at MIT, talking to people who were MIT students, faculty, staff et al. at the time, about STEM innovation at MIT, for example, as well as access technologies and archives. With this faculty position, I would then be able to also carry out comparative ethnographic research in California, both at Stanford, as well as at Harbin Hot Springs, as I develop a realistic virtual Harbin for actual-virtual, physical-digital ethnographic comparison and field work, and via ethno-wiki-virtual-world-graphy. I know a number of the Harvard Anthropology faculty, having met them at Stanford, and have cited a few of them in my academic publications / blog.

Sincerely, Scott

Hi Ma (Janie), and All,

Per my email the other day to  you about not getting the MIT Media Lab faculty position last year, and ongoing lack of monies' issues re World Univ & Sch and personally, I wonder these days about getting a Harvard Anthropology faculty position and re my actual-virtual Harbin Hot Springs' ethnographic project, as well as the creation of a realistic virtual earth for anthropology - http://www.scottmacleod.com/research-group.html - and also re this new social science / ethnography / STEM method and theory I'm calling ethno-wiki-virtual-world-graphy - http://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/search/label/ethno-wiki-virtual-world-graphy?m=0. I'm also curious if Stanford Anthropology and other faculty and possibly John Hennessy too could help with this, and potentially Berkeley Anthropology faculty too. Would be interesting to explore moving back to the Boston area in the autumn of 2020, for example, in these regards.

Thoughts about whom I might contact in these regards?  Joi Ito was a main contact at MIT until he stepped down because of the craziness of big money and children sexual victims I'll call this. And it's possible I may have saved a lot of kids even by my whistle-blowing at the San Francisco Quaker Meeting in these regards too. And I'd be much closer proximity-wise to MIT re developing CC-4 MIT OCW-centric World University and School in MIT OCW's 5 languages for example, and hopefully with MIT graduate students teaching sections to some of the courses and their faculty ... and in their planning to become faculty themselves. What do you think?

You might enjoy again re-visiting some of the writing in this recent blog entry - https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2019/11/northern-gannett-virtual-college-stem.html - which is quite long now, but kinda interesting as well ... and full of good ideas too - especially about ethics, with a new related blog label for this - http://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/search/label/ethics?m=0.

Love, Scott

Good afternoon, Ma,




* * *

Eventually the Music School will move into real real time music making over the internet and in a realistic virtual earth (perhaps on Google's Stacks and re their recent claims of Quantum supremacy ... re lack of lag).

(Ongoing envisioning of my Scottish small pipes'"Honey in the Bag" album in 2020 here in the bagpiping label in my daily blog - https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/search/label/bagpiping - and see creative exploration newly of putting my beginning "Boston Tea Party Song"'verse' to SSP music and singing this with SSP - https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2019/10/tea-camellia-sinensis-bring-eric.html - as well as - https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2019/02/gobies-scott-macleods-honey-in-bag-cd.html and re the Music School at WUaS for SSP Tutorials - https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2019/07/cape-cod-national-seashore-video-tune.html).

Am seeking too for the Press at World University and School to make possible musicians creating their own albums - a compilation of MP3s? - and also printing to CDs and distributing via the WUaS bookstore, as easy as pie. ... http://worlduniversityandschool.org/AcademicPress.html ...
Thanks again for your good piping and music-making, and an enjoyable Berkeley house concert.
... and there are a few more piping wiki subject pages at WUaS - check in the "Links" sections ...

Cheers, Scott
