restorative justice
what it is and how to put it into action

this is the process courts institutionalize

what is the significance of the magnificent gathering charles ogletree is bringing together this week to rethink and relive Dred Scott? How does the sensibility represented by this gathering connect to the spirit of Marcus Garvey and Stokely Carmichael and the sit-ins in Greensboro and the place of race in American and Jamaican and global law and society?

We are all maroons.

MARCUS MOSIAH GARVEY
1887-1940.
Marcus Mosiah Garvey stands out in history as one who was greatly committed to the concept of the Emancipation of minds. Garvey who was born in St. Ann became famous worldwide as a leader who was courageous and eloquent in his call for improvement for Blacks. He sought the unification of all Blacks through the establishment of the United Negro Improvement Association and spoke out against economic exploitation and cultural denigration. He spent many years in the United States pursuing his goal of Black UNIFICATION.

Question:What is the role of University in cyberspace?
from is2k7

University and the Net are mutually foundational. The future of each depends upon the other. They are connected, like a function:

f(u)=n
F(N)=U

University’s role in the Net is to develop, propagate and perpetuate into the future its capacity for generating knowledge. We are a knowledge-making machine with human parts. University embodies our fundamental norms of quality, curiosity, generation and preservation of knowledge. We are students. We are scholars. We are alumni who have come to see the core idea. We are University. By expressing ourself in the Net, University becomes the Net, University is the Net.

Forwarded Conversation
Subject: Very nice to see you today!

As usual, very nice to see your smiling face and hear your interesting ideas.

Very good session this aft, and I think we figured out exactly where Harvard should begin, and how Harvard can appeal to people’s imagination to play a very longterm role in making information more accessible on the Internet. And librarians are exactly the right place to bring this problem. They are the unsung heroes of the Internet. Did you know that the first webmasters were librarians?

I have an article in the pipe for the BBC on just this subject. And my thinking on it led me to the conclusion that a long-lived institution like Harvard would be ideal. Believe it or not, in brainstorming with various people we also thought of Mount Auburn Cemetary, but I’d rather go with a great university than a great cemetary.

If you’d like to pursue this I’m interested in helping and participating.

Dave

Hi, Professor Nesson!

I was in the audience today at the Librarians Lunch. I’d be more than
happy to help promote your Internet and Society conference; send your
postcards to me c/o the Lamont Library and I’ll make sure they get
distributed.

BTW: I audited your CyberOne last fall and was the fore-avatar at the
moot court (SL name is Cordelia Moy). See you inworld sometime soon.
