Birds are all out in force today, about 15 greenfinches and 20 or so goldfinches...
Lots of birdsong in the garden today, worth being frozen as I watched them flutter around.
The annual migration of the Sandhill Cranes through central Nebraska. They spend a few weeks feeding in the nearby corn fields before heading north to their nesting grounds. Over half a million cranes pass through the protected area of the Platte River which is managed by the Crane Trust. At sunset the cranes arrive to roost overnight on sand bars in the shallow water of the river. Their shapes are sihouetted in the sky as they fly in.
This is the 3rd time I've tried to get a photo of this tree in fall color. I've tried different weeks of the year, all in different years. I'm now convinced that this tree sublimates from summer state to winter state, and there is no colorful transition in between.
I hadn't been to this spot in a year or so and was pretty disappointed to see how the scene has been marred by the paved walk running along the top of the knoll and the bridge ramp just off the right side of the frame, forcing the tree to be centered. I couldn't just walk away, though, because a sky that blue is so rare in October. So, how do you spice up a boring green tree, spongy spray-on grass, and an ugly strip of asphalt? Thank goodness the birds chose that moment to toss some motion into the image.
Am Donnerstag, 4. Mai 2017 fand in der Bibliotheksaula die Präsentation des Buches: "Migration und die Macht der Forschung - Kritische Wissenschaft in der Migrationsgesellschaft" statt.
Inhalt:
Der herrschende wissenschaftliche Diskurs über Migration ist in den letzten Jahren zunehmend in Kritik geraten. Vor allem Migrationsforschung als politische Auftragsforschung - so der zentrale Vorwurf - würde Migration vielfach als Problem hervorbringen und somit bestehende gesellschaftliche Ungleichheitsverhältnisse verfestigen. Um solchen Tendenzen entgegenzuwirken, beschritt die Arbeiterkammer Wien einen bislang ungewöhnlichen Weg.
Statt WissenschaftlerInnen mit der Beantwortung von Forschungsfragen zu betrauen, lud sie kritische MigrationsforscherInnen dazu ein, ihrerseits relevante Fragen zum Thema Migration zu stellen. Es langten schließlich zahlreiche Artikel ein, die etabliertes Wissen über Migration hinterfragen und Alternativen zur gängigen Migrationsforschung aufzeigen.
Im Sammelband „Migration und die Macht der Forschung“ wird eine Auswahl der Beiträge veröffentlicht, die sich sowohl an ein wissenschaftliches als auch nicht-wissenschaftliches Publikum richten. Namhafte PolitologInnen, SoziologInnen, HistorikerInnen und BildungswissenschaftlerInnen zeigen, wie progressive Migrationsforschung in Österreich gestaltet werden könnte. Die Beiträge eröffnen viele unerwartete Blickwinkel und weisen in die Richtung eines konstruktiven Umgangs mit Migration in der heutigen Gesellschaft.

What does it mean to be an immigrant? And who is really impacted when people leave their homes in search of a dream? Is there more to the story than what is debated in the press? Using popular education tools, the Latin American and Caribbean Community Center leads participants in mapping their personal migration stories and identifying the forces that encourage us to get up and move.
