SUMMARY:Abundance: On the Experience of Living in a World of Information Plenty | Annenberg School for Communication
DESCRIPTION:Information overload is something that humans have dealt with for millennia. During different historical eras\, massive increases in what was available to know has motivated the creation of systems for sorting\, indexing\, and compiling information as well as concerns that the abundance of information might cause cultural anxiety or even drive people to madness. The digital age has renewed concerns about information overload and the detrimental effects it has on our ability to sort through the stream of online data\, decide what is most important\, or even to train our attention on it long enough to make sense of it. \nIn Abundance\, Pablo J. Boczkowski builds upon what we know about the historical and contemporary scholarship to develop a novel framework on the experience of living in a society that has more information available to the public than ever before\, focusing on the interpretations\, emotions\, and practices of dealing with this abundance in everyday life. \n[…]\n\n\n\n

SUMMARY:From COVID-19 to culture wars: The growing hostility of education politics | The Brookings Institution
DESCRIPTION:For education policymakers\, the last two years have been among the most tumultuous and challenging in U.S. history. Issue after issue has stirred controversy\, including COVID-induced school closures\, mask and vaccine mandates\, critical race theory\, and transgender students’ rights. Local school board meetings have been stages for many conflicts. Board members are confronting angry protestors at the same time they confront complex questions about mitigating the harms of the pandemic on students and protecting public health. Recently\, in Virginia\, we saw the potential for education politics to shape a high-profile\, statewide election. \nOn December 9\, the Brown Center on Education Policy at Brookings will host an expert discussion on the politics of education. Panelists will discuss recent events and what they mean for students\, schools\, and society\, as well as how education might factor into the 2022 elections. \n[…]
