On November 9 at 12pm on Zoom, Dr. Janice Jayes will give a talk that examines the twentieth-century regulatory framework tying humans to states, its historical formation, and how it has resulted in the callous politics of human sorting that we call the migration system. On October 26 at 12pm, current and recent graduate students are invited to a career exploration panel focusing on using foreign language, area studies, and thematic studies in the job market.
Calendar More Events. Global Governance. Scientific Animations Without Borders SAWBO is a University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign-based program focused on the development and deployment of educational content that can be rapidly translated and voice overlaid into new languages and deployed through cell phones and other video-capable devices.
SAWBO relies on volunteers for translation and deployment of content both online and offline. On August 11 of , a 6. SAWBO was contacted by, and worked with, Iranian expatriates from Vancouver, Canada, interested in gaining knowledge, about how to treat water to prevent cholera, into the zone hardest hit by the earthquake.
In this case study, we outlined the challenges of deployment of educational content into a country where the authorities restrict the flow of knowledge to their own populations i. We also discuss certain ethical dilemmas related to tracking content and user activities. Shea trees grow across 4 million km2 of sub-Saharan Africa. Shea parklands provide a sustainable source of edible fat shea butter that, in terms of volume, is currently second only to cocoa butter as a vegetal source of stearic acid in Shea parklands provide a sustainable source of edible fat shea butter that, in terms of volume, is currently second only to cocoa butter as a vegetal source of stearic acid in the multi-billion dollar chocolate and cosmetic sectors.
However, in terms of international trade, shea has been opaque to consumers of edible products where the majority of shea exports end their global journey and actually only well-known in western markets as a cosmetic ingredient. This review provides the background to this issue by contextualizing the industry and describing how weak post-harvest quality control impacts the shea supply chain. The paper then explains how this knowledge was incorporated into a 3D animation available for free transmission to rural African audiences and viewing on portable devices like video capable mobile phones.
This tool offers the potential of low-cost multiple benefits to users, which we term here a win-cubed [win3] opportunity, where women collectors can receive free knowledge of using less resources to produce higher quality shea kernels which in turn offer higher extraction yields, lowering production costs, of a better and more marketable product. Barry Pittendrigh. Ensuring the success of deployment initiatives of specific programs in developing countries comes with the commitment of local, public and private institutions.
Scientific Animations Without Borders SAWBO creates educational content for low literate learners, in their own local languages that can be deployed on video capable devices by in country groups. In other words, SAWBO creates content, for local communities of practice to use in their educational programs.
Although SAWBO creates and deploys this content virtually, it is the domain of local groups to develop strategies and approaches for local and meaningful impact. Establishing partnership between local stakeholders, public and private institutions bring new opportunities to the deployment of educational materials in developing nations.
This paper explains the opportunities for, and challenges to, creating a community of practice and making decisions between public and private institutions leading to the deployment of educational materials in a form of animated videos around Adama City in the region of Oromia, Ethiopia.
This paper presents the willingness of local, public and private institutions to enter into partnership to participate in a specific deployment of a project perceived to be beneficial for low literate learners in their communities. The report of the consultative meeting suggests that while initiatives and perceptions may differ among the different groups involved in the deployment, common goals facilitate the decision making to move forward. This paper is part of an ongoing effort to develop community of practice models, for deployment of cross-culturally adaptable educational animations, with the intent of reproducing similar approaches in other regions of the world.

This knowledge is not static, but evolves in response to changing This knowledge is not static, but evolves in response to changing ecological, economic and sociopolitical circumstances, based on the creativity and innovation of community members and as a result of the influence of other cultures and outside technologies.
Capturing, understanding and sharing the complexity of indigenous knowledge among rural communities is crucial to preserve and validate information that has been transmitted in the form of oral history through generations. It is also ranked 1 in Illinois. During the academic year, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign handed out 50 bachelor's degrees in international studies.
Due to this, the school was ranked 36 in popularity out of all colleges and universities that offer this degree. Take a look at the following statistics related to the make-up of the international studies majors at University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. The international studies program at UIUC awarded 50 bachelor's degrees in The following table and chart show the ethnic background for students who recently graduated from University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign with a bachelor's in international studies.
