Spring term 2011 has begun

And we have plunged into work as if Christmas Holidays had never happened. Marjo is going to be a prominent figure in CBM studies this term - in the first period she begins with her course Creative Producer on Wednesdays, and the Media and Gender course on Thursdays. Marjo is also coordinating the CBM Final thesis seminar. In the second period she will be teaching the courses History of Mass and Multimedia, and Cross-media project.

Taina is taking it easy, beginning the term with CBM Research Methods on Tuesdays, which is also directed to the VKM-students who don't speak Finnish. In the second period she'll teach the Medianarration course titled "Moving Metropolis" in collaboration with The Centre for Urban and Regional Studies, Otaniemi. And will do some project work in collaboration with Pia.

CBM students will also start thinking about their "Creative projects" (Industry Project/ Luovat projektit) - joint ventures with TuKKK students. Teachers can make some suggestions and mediate some commissions, but use your imagination and make a project, if you don't find one ready for the taking! This is a great opportunity to try your hand at something you've dreamed of! The kick-off is on Tuesday 18.1. at 13 - 16 in class 255.

We'll be having a feedback meeting with all CBM students Wed 19.1. at 14 - 15 in Ateljee. Niilo and Aapo are also collecting student feelings for Aalto University's "TEE - Teaching Evaluation Exercise".

And later in the Spring we shall check everybody's HOPS, personal study-plan - to see what you've done so far and what are your ideas about the rest of your studies now.

Have a nice, productive and thought-provoking term - and remember to take a break every now and then!

Application to CBM masters' program is open!

Kick It Over Manifesto

Kick It Over

An international student movement to free the economics curriculum from its neoclassical straightjacket was launched last week at the University of California at Berkeley.

For its first action, students worldwide are being encouraged to post the following manifesto, preferably printed on brightly coloured paper, on the doors and bulletin boards of their univeristy’s economics department. See Tere Waden's Nuvatsia blog!

Kick It Over Manifesto
We, the undersigned, make this accusation: that you, the teachers of neoclassical economics and the students that you graduate, have perpetuated a gigantic fraud upon the world.

You claim to work in a pure science of formula and law, but yours is a social science, with all the fragility and uncertainty that this entails. We accuse you of pretending to be what you are not.

You hide in your offices, protected by your mathematical jargon, while in the real world, forests vanish, species perish and human lives are callously destroyed. We accuse you of gross negligence in the management of our planetary household.

You have known since its inception that one of your measures of economic progress, the Gross Domestic Product, is fundamentally flawed and incomplete, and yet you have allowed it to become a global standard, reported day in, day out in every form of media. We accuse you of recklessly projecting an illusion of progress.

You have done great harm, but your time is coming to a close. Your systems are crumbling, your flaws increasingly laid bare. An economic revolution has begun, as hopeful and determined as any in history. We will have our clash of economic paradigms, we will have our moment of truth, and out of each will come a new economics – open, holistic, human scale.

On campus after campus, we will chase you old goats out of power. Then, in the months and years that follow, we will begin the work of reprogramming your doomsday machine.
