[CULTURE] Royal Society for the Advancement of Knowledge

[Miestră Schivă, UrN]

¡Estimat.dăs citaxhiens!

As my first job in my new term as Minister of Culture, I must deal with the Royal Society for the Advancement of Knowledge, and its Presidency, which is sadly now vacant since the "promotion to glory" of our beloved Ian Tamorán.

Under El Lexhatx C.2 and C.3, it is up to me to make a recommendation to the King as to a new President of the Royal Society. Applications are now open.

Reminding everyone as to what this role entails, El Lexhatx C.1.6:

1.6     The Royal Society for the Advancement of Knowledge, headed by the President of the Royal Society. The function of the Royal Society is to conduct and promote research and academic study in all areas of human endeavour.

        1.6.1. Schools may be created within the Society for the purpose of focusing on a specific subject. The exact procedure for establishing a school shall be chosen by the President, who shall also appoint a dean to supervise each school.

May I plead that any applicant be serious in restoring the Royal Society to its former glory, such as by reviewing membership rolls, revoking the ridiculous postnominals motion and exploring the possibility of offering courses - any kind of courses! - again?

I would be offering this comment as a member of the Royal Society, except all my membership enquiries over the years went unanswered - which is ironic considering academic research is currently my real life job.

Maybe you should apply then.

These kind of big offices without political connections or implications are tailor made for apolitical Talossans who might like to get involved more but struggle to *find something to do*. I would strongly prefer the new President of the Royal Society was one such scientifically-minded Talossan. If no such candidate existed, I would consider applying.

Due to popular demand, bumping this

@Sir Lüc I think you would be a FANTASTIC Royal Society president! Also thanks @Miestră Schivă, UrN

[Sir Lüc]

We'll see what I end up doing after the referendum. Ask me again then, I guess :)

Yes, I am looking forward to seeing how the next SoS handles policy concerning involvement in politics especially considering your recent vote, Luc.

Smells oh so good.

I would like to throw my hat in the ring for this one!
Do I spiel here or to the minister?

[Miestră Schivă, UrN]

... please spiel right here, this should be interesting.

Greetings fellows,

I come before you as a educator, as a culture reasurcher and as a talossan for now 10 years.

I may have a history here, and yet that history is but one brick in the great walls that form the house we find ourselves in, the bedroom kingdom,  born of a child's imagination, yet still existing all these years later.

A culture has grown here. This culture has a uniqueness all of its own, and I would say that it's runs deeper than just our lagunage an adopted history as well as its own history over the 5 decades.

This history is well recored, our language well established (yet for my own taste, a little difficult to learn). I feel that other areas of culture remains somewhat understood and scantily reasurched and if appointed I'd be interested in reasurching areas.

For my personal qualifications, I have my masters in Media and Cultural Studies, with my thesis focusing on intergenerational conflict between Babyboomers and Millennials, which I'm more than willing to spew forth at very little notice. A large majority of said thesis focused on online tribalism and cyberpragmatics, which, if applied to talossan society could be of use both politically, sociologically as well as for marconational promotion and marketing.

I feel that the royal society should take on this roll, aiding resurch in these areas, holding symposia, producing and publishing academic journal and becoming a leding light into mircronational political, cultural  and socalogical studies, on top of its educational obligations.

I feel I am upto this task, having created a small academic journal with my pears at university and well placed academicly to lead such reasurch.

I thank you for your consideration and welcome any questions as to my capability.

@Tierçéu Rôibeardescù
Thank you for obliging us with a statement of interest. Can you please discuss your ideas for reinvigorating the Royal Society?

[Tierçéu Rôibeardescù]

I personally feel that education as the prime oparadi of the society does limit is wider appeal to the highly educated citizens we already possess and I propose we extend into to areas to help guide talossan social policy. Not that the previous work by the society was limited as it more than speaks for itself, I just feel it's vacancy as well as in low academic turnover of recent years showes that there are gaps in which engagement is being lost, which I belive to be symptomatic of a wider problem here in moden talossa. With all the current changes in our society I think that now is the time to start a new chapter. I feel the society has room for growth into the academic feild, even that outside of talossa, and I feel that we should and I'm sure can start producing accreditation towards work produced for the betterment of talossan society and its advancement.
