Creative Activities

2004 --
Creation of a new web-based course on the Political Economy of Education. This course is entirely web-based, in the sense that virtually all the materials of the course are made available through the web (syllabus, course calendar, interactive web-forum, original texts from the history of thought on education and from contemporary debates. The material is constantly being elaborated - most recently (2006-2007) with texts from non-Western traditions, e.g., Confucius and Mohammed al-Ghazali, one of the great Muslem theologians and philosophers of the Middle Ages.

2001 --
Creation of new web-based course on History of Economic Thought. This course is entirely web-based, in the sense that virtually all the materials of the course are made available through the web (syllabus, course calendar, interactive web-forum, original texts from the history of economic thought, professor's lecture notes, and so on).

Prepared technical instructions for other professors on how to implement Webbbs software to create interactive web-forums for their courses.

1999 --
Use of interactive "web-forums" for professor-student communication, class discussion, and student self-organization.

1996 --
Development of computer presentation materials for the teaching of Eco 304L Introductory Macroeconomics, Eco 357k Introductory Marxist Economics and Eco 357L Political Economy of International Crisis. These materials have been used since the Fall of 1996. This has involved learning to use the following applications: Powerpoint (slides), Adobe Photoshop (still images) and SoundEdit 16 (audio), Adobe Premiere (movies) and Macromedia Director (all of the above plus animation).

1995 --
Creation of a personal WWW home page with a growing body of my own course materials and published writings available in regular and hypertext format.
(http://www.eco.utexas.edu:80/Homepages/Faculty/Cleaver/index.html)
Over the last year I have learned that these materials assembled for my courses at the University of Texas are being accessed and used by a wide variety of students and professors around the world. As a result I am studying the possibility of providing parallel on-line "courses" to anyone, anywhere.

1994 --
Creation and maintenance of Chiapas95, an information dissimination "listserv" and archives on the Internet that reposts selected materials (over 8,000) on the crisis in Mexico to over 700 interested scholars and activists. The Chiapas95 homepage and archives are referenced by the LANIC (UT - Latin America Network Information Center) gopher/web site and many other sites concerned with Mexico and Latin America.
(http://www.eco.utexas.edu:80/Homepages/Faculty/Cleaver/chiapas95.html)

1987-89
"The Spawn," in The Great Old Ones: New Adventures in the Cthulhu Mythos, Albany: Chaosium 1989. This role-playing adventure, based on the pulp fiction of H.P. Lovecraft, the archeology of the ancient cliff-dwellers and the political economy of Southwestern copper mining in the 1920s, was the lead scenario in a collection that won the national "Origins" award "Best Role-Playing Adventure of 1989" from the Academy of Adventure Gaming Arts and Design.

1987 --
Maintenance of the Texas Archives of Autonomist Marxism, a collection of materials from all over the world designed, written and otherwise produced within those traditions of Marxism which have emphasized the self-activity of labor vis à vis capital. This collection, which has been assembled over a period of some 30 years has been indexed and will be made progressively available to scholars through the Internet.

1985 --
Multimedization of the teaching of Introductory Macroeconomics and Introductory Marxist Economics. Collection and integration of literature (novels, short stories, poetry) and popular culture (music, comics, film) into the presentation/discussion of economic theory and contemporary economic history.
