Would it be too frustrating to ask undergrads to find a particular news story that I know for a fact does not exist? The reason I ask is because there is a professional field that references this non-existent story because a respected figure in the field claims to have caused it to be.
After the student struggle to find the story, the discussion would be about ethics and research.
@rwg@commodon from a learning sciences pov I would advise thinking very carefully about whether you would be violating students' trust and whether this is an inclusive experience. Even with repair afterwards, so many students particularly underserved students experience a lot of shame and low trust in classrooms. I think being actively misled by an instructor would have been something I would've been really angry about as a student even when I got the overall point.
Marshall McLuhan wrote books and taught students about his theories of media for decades, and is widely known as "as the father of modern media studies";

#PEC#PoliticalEconomy#MediaStudies: "Vincent Mosco (1948-2024) grounded and advanced the approach of the Political Economy of Communication (PEC). This paper discusses some aspects of his Critical-Humanist approach to the Political Economy of Communication. It engages with the foundations of Vincent Mosco’s thought; the roles that labour and communication play in it; his focus on Karl Marx and Marxian scholarship, culture, ideology critique, the digital sublime, democracy, the media, and the public good. Vincent Mosco’s life and work will be remembered. His approach will shape future generations of activist-scholars."

Ko-Leitung der Forschungsabteilung „#Zeitgeschichte der Medien- und Informationsgesellschaft“ am Leibniz-Zentrum für Zeithistorische Forschung #Potsdam (@ZZF) zum 1.10.2024 (unbefristet, TV-L 15).
On early-1960s American TV, the line between "camp" and "gay" was sometimes awfully thin. Here's the great George Rose playing a very campy, queer-coded pirate in a CBS production of TREASURE ISLAND (March 5, 1960). He almost sounds like he's channeling the British camp comedian Kenneth Williams.
Young Jim is played by Richard O'Sullivan, who 13 years later would star as Robin Tripp in the British sitcom MAN ABOUT THE HOUSE (the inspiration for THREE'S COMPANY) and later the sequel ROBIN'S NEST.
Hi everyone! I'm Detha, a new member of Beige Party-goers with #AuDHD from #Indonesia, #TootSEA.
I'm currently in my late-20s and a #polyglot — I speak three languages fluently: #Indonesian, #Javanese, and #English. I've also been learning #Japanese, currently trying to memorise Hiragana and Katakana letters.
Other than that, I love reading #manga a lot. Currently I'm making it my mission to read older mangas from my childhood, like #DetectiveConan and #Hellsing. I like reading in general, just not "actual books" haha — my attention span can't handle it.
I guess that's what I can think of for my #introduction for now. I have a lot more scattered interests though, so you'll be seeing more of it on my account.
Thank you to @theropologist for accepting my request to join this instance, and nice to meet you all! Beige-bless :bb:
At this anniversary time of Kubrick's Dr. Strangelove, one of the best films ever made, I recommend this as the finest scholarship published on Strangelove as a film, as a social commentary, and as an ur text of nuclear culture: Reconstructing Strangelove by Mick Broderick. Essential reading.
