From my Teaching Journal, August 14, 2018:
1/?> Today I tried something new: Having them propose problems (a la Friere). I'm excited to see what falls out.
I'd chosen/had them choose course "themes" for a couple of years, but not this way & without Freire's grasp of why. I was excited!
They picked things I wouldn't have guessed, so I would have interesting, relevant material. I'd learn & grow, too!
Or so I thought.

In the middle of trade talks, I think it's important to compare the economies of Canada and the USA. I've dug up info that suggests Canada's doing much better than most would think.

Every generation thinks morality is collapsing. Socrates said it. 2 Timothy said it. Your parents said it. The data consistently disagrees with all of them.

How are #ageing #populations, changing #family structures, and #inequalities reshaping #intergenerational support?
In June, we welcomed more than 40 delegates from the UK, Europe, and beyond to the University of St Andrews for the CPC-CG Symposium on Intergenerational Change and Support, where they explored these issues over two days of presentations and discussions.
Read all about it on page 9 of #ChangingPopulations: https://sway.cloud.microsoft/6PeRZlzYry4nhGtm?ref=Link

Within families, does influence flow only from parents to children?

Also in this #ChangingPopulations, we focus on caring, working and ageing, and ask whether Britain is prepared as we face a “perfect storm”, with people expected to work longer, fund their own future care, and provide informal unpaid care, all at once - page 4

In this issue of #ChangingPopulations, we report on findings that suggest declining fertility isn't simply the result of young people rejecting relationships and parenthood. Instead, economic and social barriers are making these goals harder to achieve - head to page 3

Secondo un recente studio le sfide psicologiche del giorno d'oggi, come lo stress, la solitudine o la competizione costante, sono frutto di un disallineamento evoluzionistico.
Il nostro cervello non si sarebbe adattato abbastanza in fretta per stare al passo coi tempi moderni, fatti da una società iperconnessa e iperstimolata.
C'è un conflitto tra biologia ed ecosistema sociale?

Three legs are needed for deductive causal inference:
"Without assumptions regarding construct validity, one cannot accurately label the cause or outcome. Without assumptions regarding external validity, one cannot label the conditions enabling the cause to have an effect. If any of the assumptions regarding internal, construct, and external validity are missing, the claim is not deductively supported. The critical role of theoretical and substantive knowledge in deductive causal inference is illuminated by making such assumptions explicit. This article critically reviews approaches to identification in causal inference while developing a framework called causal specification. Causal specification augments existing identification strategies to enable and justify deductive, generalized claims about causes and effects. In the process, we review a variety of developments in the philosophy of science and causality and interdisciplinary social science methodology."Esterling, K., Brady, D. & Schwitzgebel, E. (2025). "The necessity of construct and external validity for deductive causal inference" https://doi.org/10.1515/jci-2024-0002

"...much of the backlash is rooted in expectations rather than any fixed truth. We expect Helen of Troy to look like a European woman, not Lupita Nyong’o. When those expectations are violated, we get in our feelings."
