Appel de communication/Call for papers

La GSAÉD vous invite à sa 14e conférence interdisciplinaire qui se tiendra les 2, 3 et 4 mars prochains à l’Université d’Ottawa sous le thème État de nature. Ce colloque bilingue s’inscrit dans une logique d’interdisciplinarité et vise à enrichir la réflexion et les discussions sur des thèmes qui nous touchent tous. Lorsque pris dans son actualité, le concept d’état de nature amène une foule de questions concernant autant la nature et l’environnement que l’organisation sociale et le vivre ensemble.

Dans le cadre de l’évènement de cette année, nous invitons donc les étudiant(e)s inscrits aux études supérieures à venir présenter toute recherche s’inscrivant dans cette thématique qui appelle les réflexions sur :

• Les percées technologiques et la gestion environnementale ;
• Les impacts des changements climatiques ;
• La cohésion et l'exclusion sociale ;
• La place de l'individu au sein de la société ;
• Les politiques publiques et le vivre ensemble ;
• Le rapport entre le droit et l’environnement ;
• Les innovations scientifiques ;
• La biodiversité ;
• La nature en tant qu'inspiration artistique et philosophique ;
• Les liens entre changements sociaux et création artistique ;
• La diversité culturelle ;
• L’éthique ;
• La sécurité et l'intégrité personnelle et sociale ;
• Etc.

Les communications, en français ou en anglais, prendront la forme d’une présentation orale d’une quinzaine de minutes incluant une période de questions de 10 minutes. Les propositions doivent être accompagnées d'un résumé ne dépassant pas 300 mots, du niveau et du domaine d’étude de l’auteur(e).

Prière de faire parvenir ces renseignements par courriel avant le 15 décembre 2010 à universite@gsaed.ca

The GSAÉD invites you to its 14th interdisciplinary conference, which will take place on March 2, 3, and 4, 2011, at the University of Ottawa, under the theme of State of Nature. With the idea of interdisciplinarity at its core, this bilingual event seeks to encourage reflection and discussion of themes that affect us all. When taken as a whole, the concept of state of nature brings forward a wealth of questions concerning a wide range of subjects, from nature and the environment to social organization and interpersonal relations.

As part of this year's event, we therefore wish to encourage graduate students to present any research that falls under the theme outlined above and that promotes reflection on subjects such as:

• Technological innovations & the environment;
• Climate change and its impacts;
• Social cohesion and exclusion;
• The place of the individual in society;
• Public policies;
• Environmental law;
• Scientific innovations;
• Biodiversity;
• Nature as a source of artistic inspiration;
• Links between social change and artistic creation;
• Cultural diversity;
• Ethics;
• Social and individual security and integrity;
• Etc.

 Participants are expected to present their research in either French or English. Each conference must not exceed 15 minutes, and will be followed by a 10 minute question period. Proposals must include the presenter's discipline and level of study, as well as an abstract no longer than 300 words.

Please forward your proposals to university@gsaed.ca by December 15th, 2010.

Installations sportives au campus Lees/ Sports Facilities at Lees campus

English message follows.

Il se peut que des installations sportives deviennent disponibles aux étudiants au campus Lees.

Lynne Bowker a communiqué auprès du Service des sports au nom des étudiants et des professeurs :

«J'ai parlé avec quelqu'un du Service des sports et il m’a dit qu’en effet ils envisagent d'organiser quelque chose pour nous ici, mais qu’ils aimeraient savoir quels types d'activités sont d'intérêt à notre groupe (par exemple, cours d'aérobie, le yoga, le badminton, le volleyball, etc. ), et si nous profiterions effectivement de ces programmes et quand.»

Nous avons besoin de la rétroaction de la part des étudiants :

1) Quel genre de programmes d’activité physique vous intéresseraient? Quelques possibilités incluent des cours d'aérobie ou de yoga, du badminton et du volleyball. Avez-vous d'autres suggestions ou activités préférées?
2) Pensez-vous que vous alliez utiliser les installations sportives à Lees se elles vous étaient disponibles?
3) Quels sont les jours et heures qui vous conviendraient le mieux?

Vous pouvez soumettre vos réponses dans la section “commentaires” ci-dessous, ou nous les faire parvenir par courriel à aesissa@gmail.com

Une fois que nous avons reçu vos commentaires, nous les transmetterons à Lynne et elle travaillera avec le Service des sports pour tenter de nous organiser quelque chose pour le semestre d’hiver 2011.

---

There is a possibility of sport facilities being made available to students at Lees Campus.

Lynne Bowker has been talking to Sports Services on behalf of students and Faculty:

“I spoke with someone in Sports Services, and he said that they would indeed consider organizing something for us out here, but they would like to know what types of activities are of interest (e.g. aerobics class, yoga, badminton, volleyball, etc.), and whether anyone would actually avail of such programs and when.”

We need to hear from students:

1) What kind of sport/fitness programs interest you? Some possibilities include yoga, aerobics, badminton and volleyball. Do you have other suggestions or favourite activities?
2) Would you use the sports facilities at Lees if they were available?
3) What days and times would work best for you?

You can leave your feedback in the comments section below or email it to aesissa@gmail.com

Once we gather input, we will pass it on to Lynne and she will work with Sports Services to try to have something organized for the winter term of this year.

Is information management a dying art?

Thursday, October 14, 2010, 1:30 pm to 3:00 pm
Ottawa Public Library Auditorium (120 Metcalfe)

In today’s outsourced, disposable society, public and private sector organizations may be tempted to trust technology to manage our information assets. In addition, if it were not for the requirement to comply, we might very well ignore Information Management (IM) all together!

This session will present the argument that IM as a discipline may no longer be needed due to advances in technology. Driving factors behind IM, and generational and behavioural issues, will also be discussed. Audience participation will be encouraged so that the premise, “IM Is Dead”, can be refuted or supported.

More information: http://clagov.wordpress.com/2010/09/14/is-im-dead/

Useful websites

This list of useful websites and online communication tools was compiled by Andre Vellino.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Here are some “generally useful web sites” that were briefly mentioned at the Orientation Day info-session:

Blackboard https://maestro.uottawa.ca/indexFR.asp
Some professors use Blackboard as a web-tool for communicating with students, distributing grades, quizzes, handing out course material etc.

InfoWeb
The InfoWeb site at the university of Ottawa is the web-vehicle for "secure" services (personal information / grades etc.) http://www.uottawa.ca/students/ -> InfoWeb

UOzone
UOzone is a personalized portal created by the University of Ottawa which provides personalized information and alerts from professors, faculty in a single-sign-one environment. http://uozone.uottawa.ca/

By all means familiarize yourself with UOzone via the YouTube Video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uspA72DlFMc

Email
Last year, the School set up a Google Groups mailing list to which students, faculty and alumni could subscribe (or unsubscribe). This Google Groups mailing list will be discontinued as a method for faculty to communicate announcements to students. In the future, faculty announcements will be made via the school mailing list which only contains UOttawa mailing addresses. Therefore:

• Please use your U. of O. address (UserName@uottawa.ca)


• You may forward your U. of O. e-mail to your personal address if you want as well as change spam filter settings to allow for notifications from websites like “wordpress.com” from this location: https://web.uottawa.ca/cgi-bin/mailadmin/main.pl


• Note that alumni are given an “alumni.uottawa.ca” for life that can be requested at http://www.uottawa.ca/alumni/ to register

Miscellaneous
Some courses may use a blogs as a method of communicating course-material (as an alternative to Blackboard)

One such (commercial) blog site is http://wordpress.com/

Other courses will be requiring you to learn how to use Wikis so that students can collaboratively create documents or resources together, e.g. http://www.wikispaces.com/

Yet other courses may ask you to learn a variety of collaborative bibliography sites such as:

• http://www.refworks.com/


• http://www.mendeley.com/


• http://www.citeulike.org/


• http://www.zotero.org/

These will also introduce you to some important technologies in Web 2.0 such as social tagging, RSS feeds, recommender systems.
