“Electronic Techtonics: Thinking at the Interface” will be one of the culminating events for the In|Formation Year that began in June 2006 and extends through May of 2007. (See the HASTAC website for a calendar of In|Formation Year events, plus open source archived materials suitable for downloading for courses or campus events.) The keynote address will be delivered at the Nasher Museum of Art at Duke by visionary information scientist John Seely Brown (The Social Life of Information; formerly Chief Scientist of Xerox Corporation and Director of its Palo Alto Research Center/PARC). Other events include a talk by legal theorist James Boyle (co-founder of the Center for the Study of the Public Domain, Creative Commons, and Science Commons), a conversation among leaders of innovative digital humanities projects led by John Unsworth (chair of the ACLS “Cyberinfrastructure and the Humanities and Social Sciences” commission), and a presentation by media artist and research pioneer Rebecca Allen. The conference will also include refereed scholarly and scientific papers, multimedia performances, an exhibit hall of innovative software and hardware, plus tours of art and scientific installations in virtual reality, learning-game, and interactive sensor space environments. CALL FOR PAPERS Six sessions will be devoted to panels with refereed papers on aspects of “interface” spanning media arts, engineering, and the human, social, natural, and computational sciences. Panels will be topical and cross-disciplinary; they will be comprised of papers that are themselves interdisciplinary as well as specialized disciplinary papers presented in juxtaposition with one another. We will consider proposals for full panels (three or four papers), for paired cross-disciplinary papers on a shared topic, or for single papers. Topics: Panels might address interfaces between humans and computers, mind and brain, real and virtual worlds, science and fiction, consumers and producers, text-archives and multi-media, youth and adults, disciplines, institutions, communities, identities, media, cultures, technologies, theories, and practices. Other possible topics: the body as interface, neuroaesthetics and neurocognition, prosthetics, mind-controlled devices, immersion, emergence, presence, telepresence, sensor spaces, virtual reality, social networking, games, experimental learning environments, human/non-human situations and actors, interactive communication and control, access, borders, intellectual property, porosity, race and ethnicity, difference, Afro-Geeks and Afro-Futurism, identity, gender, sexuality, credibility, mapping and trafficking, civic engagement, social activism, cyberactivism, plus all of the other In|Formation Year topics: in|common, interplay, in|community, interaction, injustice, integration, invitation, innovation. Proposal Submissions: Please send 500-1000 word paper and/or panel proposals to info@hastac.org. Deadline for Proposals: December 1, 2006. Full-length papers or power-point presentations will be posted on the HASTAC website prior to the conference. The sessions themselves will be devoted to synopses of the work, followed by a response designed to elicit audience participation. Attendees whose papers are not accepted will be encouraged to display their work at a digital poster session. CONFERENCE REGISTRATION Registration will be limited to 150 people. HASTAC will announce a priority registration period for HASTAC In|Formation Year site leaders, followed by open registration. SCHOLARSHIPS Some scholarship funding will be available to graduate students to help defray fees and conference costs.

Seven Point Mind Training - Day 3
Where: Kadampa Center
Date: 2007-04-27 19:00:00
Type:
This is a special teaching by Chöden Rinpoche, one of the great living Tibetan masters of the Gelugpa lineage. Registration is required: http://www.kadampa-center.org/news/choden2007.php The Seven-Point Mind Training is a collection of brief, powerful mind training sayings grouped around seven points. They were written by Geshe Chekawa Yeshe Dorje (1102-1176), an accomplished Kadampa master. Mind training, or in Tibetan blos.byong (pronounced lojong), is a genre of teachings that counter self cherishing attitudes and behaviors, and eventually lead to the determination to be enlightened for the sake of all sentient beings. When Chekawa read Langri Tangpa's Eight Verses, he was so moved by the fifth verse, especially the line that read, "give the victory to others," that he sought out Geshe Sharawa, a disciple of the author, to find out how to practice these words. The secret oral teachings Chekawa received from Geshe Sharawa are the foundation of the Seven-Point Mind Training. Mind training was originally a secret transmission, taught only to students who had a proven capacity and sincerity for practice. Geshe Chekawa popularized mind training through the Seven-Point Mind Training. All events at Kadampa Center are offered free of charge. Kadampa Center exists only through voluntary financial donations, as well as gifts of time, talent and energy.
