Talk emphasizes study of politics

By Lindsay Brewer | November 2, 2010

Many researchers who study Arctic social-ecological systems the interplay between human societies and nature do not gain a comprehensive understanding of factors affecting these networks because they do not include the role of politics in their analyses, Dickey Center visiting fellow Amy Lovecraft said in a Tuesday lecture, "Politics in Social-Ecological Systems: The Case of the Arctic Transition." Lovecraft explained that many academics focus on the study of governance, but said she thinks the focus should be widened to include governments and political actors, which are the driving forces of change. "Social-ecological system studies is focused largely on the concept of policy and has recently used the term governance, but has largely ignored politics," she said. Social-ecological systems are dynamic, complex and oftentimes unpredictable, Lovecraft added. "We tend to think of social and ecological systems as separate, but I would like to at least point out that I think this is more of a spectrum," she said.

Students fall victim to anonymous ‘blitzjacks'

By Campbell Sechrest | October 31, 2010

Correction Appended Students across campus received an e-mail Thursday night apparently from their own BlitzMail accounts purporting to be a "blitzjack" and directing them to a website labeled "Bored at Berry." The source of the e-mails, which appears to also be behind an e-mail sent out to campus Sunday that seems to be sent from College President Jim Yong Kim's account, remains unclear as of Sunday night. Although students have long sent messages from logged-on BlitzMail accounts not belonging to them a practice referred to as "blitzjacking" the e-mails sent Thursday and Sunday are the first to be sent to such a large group in recent memory. The first e-mail, sent out late Thursday evening, had the subject line "blitzjack?" and appeared to be sent by the recipient of each e-mail.
