DECEMBER & HYGGE
The pace is intense as students work hard to finish the semester and head off to end-of-year celebrations. At ETHOS Lab we will be having a celebration, which means YOU and everyone in the Ethos Lab's network are invited for 'hygge' on Friday, December 16 at 4 pm
hygge (ˈhyɡə) noun: a concept, originating in Denmark, of creating cosy and convivial atmospheres that promote wellbeing
(Article, Reference and language, The Guardian)
We also have a few announcements that will set the scene for 2017.
A 'goodbye' has been reconfigured into a 'hello' as Rasmus our former intern has been hired as an assistant for the lab for the next three months. Michael Hockenhull will be commencing his PhD in the coming year and still be affiliated with the lab through his role as a researcher. We are fortunate that Cæcilie stays on as Lab Assistant for at least another semester.
Newly appointed Lab Manager is Marie Blønd, a familiar face to some in the community either from her time as a master student or as a TA in several courses. Previously working in business, her interests now expands experimenting with multiple methodologies, fieldsites and engaging in reflexive digital methods. With Marie, Rasmus and Cæcilie at the steering wheel, we are excited and expectant for another season for Ethos Lab and hope to welcome even more people to our community.
‘Tis the season to be jolly’ and thus we have wrapped a few presents for you;
The first present has been coded and donated by our community member Jesper Henrichsen; A sunburst of the Danish government’s Budget for 2017 visualised in an interactive and searchable manner. It is work in progress and Jesper has offered to share the code through GitHub if you are interested. See his post on our Facebook page.
Another gift is somehow a toolbox – a list longer than Santa Claus’ of digital tools with thankful credentials to research associate Fernando N. van der Vlist. Last but not least, Junior Researcher’s projects will be popping up on our website as 2017 kicks off.
The title of Jan Rezisz article states a great prospect tagline for 2017: 'Expecting Everything'. Make sure you give it a read!
See you on Friday or in 2017!
Greetings from,
ETHOS Lab
