  • The Craziness of UQ Political Decision Makers

    The Craziness of UQ Political Decision Makers

    Dear friends,     Given my publications — both academic works and blog articles & essays over recent years, it is clear in the craziness of The UQ Senate in even thinking about removing postgraduate museum studies.     The University of Queensland is proposing to phase out Museum Studies programs from 2025. Over 3,000 students, academics…

  • Spiral Historiography: PhDs for everyone will not improve academia (THE)

    Spiral Historiography: PhDs for everyone will not improve academia (THE)

    This blog article is the first in a new series called, “Spiral Historiography,” as part of the parent series known as  “Concept in UQ Philosophy and History.” It underlies the fact that I am an axillary in the School of History and Philosophy Inquiry, The University of Queensland, and am due for the recognition of…

  • Disabling Professions and the Silence of our Fool Policy-Makers

    Disabling Professions and the Silence of our Fool Policy-Makers

    Another friend of mine pointed out the many policy overreaches made and that “Learning has been devalued by those in charge for decades. e.g. university as just the acquisition of job tickets. And assignments that reward end products not learning.”  My friend, who I consider as one of the best community educators in theology and…

    Yet Another Reason to Employ-Contract Me

    Dear friends,     Yet Another Reason to Employ-Contract Me: the coming wave to Australia of the next stage in the Culture-History Warfare if Trump is elected, in the United States, at the end of year. What the American commentators are saying is, that Americanised change is coming from these types of proposals:     Removing the words…

  • The Evidence that the History of Urban Sociology has not gone forward in the State of Queensland Except for Marginalized Academics and Unpaid Scholars in the Fields

    The Evidence that the History of Urban Sociology has not gone forward in the State of Queensland Except for Marginalized Academics and Unpaid Scholars in the Fields

    Dear Friends, I have attempted to demonstrate over the past years that our political leaders have not been thinking deeply and accurately. They have been thinking in shallow political terms and in skewed claims (falsehoods). I am not alone in these claims but I am the Queensland cognition historian who has explained the set of…

  • Are you really listening? Or are you being misguided by your advisers.

    Are you really listening? Or are you being misguided by your advisers.

    Dear VC, You have been completely misguided by your conservative advisors, if what is being said is to ignore the activists. See the THE article below. I and the other critical thinkers are at the cutting-edge of our fields and global knowledge. The difference between the others and myself is that I am in Queensland as the leading…

    It is not that I do not Care, But You Do Have the Capacity

    Dear VC,         It is not that I do not care for your difficult position in my campaign to employ and contract the best and leading candidates for employment and contracting. In the United States the situation is far worse.         I suspect that I am not the only former…

  • I need a job, employed or contracted, now

    I need a job, employed or contracted, now

    Dear friends,     This is a major example of Cognition History. I understand cognition history as the spiral historiography.       This is the opportunity to employ or contract me. It seems incoherent not to be employed or contracted when my work is recognised as top in the field. So, what is going on?      …
