Hi there, I hope everyone is having a good start into the week! I have certainly enjoyed all the sun we had yesterday! Doesn’t it just make life seem so much easier & everyone much happier? 🙂 Anyway, I thought I will use this week’s “freeform” to reflect a little on where I have started […]

  Last week, I got the chance to speak to some of the partners at the event in Summerhall, which was really helpful in generating some ideas for the final project. The two partners I have decided to reach out to are: Data for Children UK Edinburgh Women’s Aid Interest areas: My interest in these […]

Perfect Crossroads When I moved “back to Seattle”, I actually moved to Redmond (30k/18mi away). I chose Redmond to have the closer, stronger sense of community that I felt growing up in a small city. Serendipitously, or maybe completely by design, my desire to become part of an inclusive community in my home is intersecting […]

Because my undergraduate degree is in Information Management and Information Systems, I am interested in the inequality of information. One of my ideas is that what you see may only be what you want to see, or what others want you to see. Since Plato’s Allegory of the Cave, we have been exploring what the […]

Original Thoughts As I said in my week one post, I am interested in comparing America’s approach to their treatment of teachers with another country or region’s treatment of teachers, potentially analyzing current policies in each of the countries or even in attitudes towards their own professions.  I am fairly confident that I want to […]

This week we had our first intensives, and the results were… intense. There was a certain amount of satisfaction in being able to read vast amounts of work and somehow magically remember enough of those readings to refer back to them in discussions. Probably even more so for the students in North America who were […]

Reflection on the intensive I did enjoy the 2-day intensive courses in week 2 (though the flu annoyed me to fully participate in the discussion). It was the first time I attended a discussion-oriented course, and it was an interesting and wonderful experience to have a discussion with people both online and onsite. I learned […]

The intensive day learning in this week gave me a new understanding of inequality. In combination with the study of last week, I found that there are various kinds of inequality in the world, and the reasons for each kind of inequality are many minutes and various. But in general, in combination with all kinds […]

For the topic of my final assessment essay, I have an initial idea about income inequality.   Since the 1980s, the Gini coefficient has climbed rapidly and income inequality has worsened in many countries. So what are the causes of income inequality? What is the relationship between income inequality and economic growth? How to adjust […]

Intensive Days This week I experienced my first intensive days, which were very dense but interesting. I found it so interesting to know others’ opinions about a certain topic. Everyone shared their ideas and experiences to deepen others’ understanding, which makes me feel very moved. New Direction  Well, because of the two intensive days, I […]
