This month we had a compelling conversation with Manuela Picq, who is a Senior Lecturer in the Departments of Political Science and Sexuality, Women's and Gender Studies at Amherst College (USA). However, this academic work is just part of Manuela's life as she lives between Massachusetts and Ecuador where she is an activist defending the water and Indigenous livelihoods. Manuela blends academics, activism, legal action, and land defense. Manuela gives us insight into what it means to be a water defender and what the struggle means over time and the duration of a life. She highlights the importance of building a community and complimenting each other within the wider fabric of a resistance effort. We are reminded that nothing can be defended that is bigger than ourselves on our own. Manuela gives us insight into her experiences and the things that have happened to her within working against extractivist forces.

Are you interested in data-driven local sustainable development? Summary of the article titled Lessons from nine urban areas using data to drive local sustainable development from 2022 by Garima Jain and Jessica Espey, published in Nature Urban Sustainability journal. This is a great preparation to our next interview with Dr Haydn Reed in episode 260 talking about urban data use for better urban outcomes. Since we are investigating the future of cities, I thought it would be interesting to see how data-driven urban governance can help cities in their sustainability journey. This article presents the data use opportunities despite its challenges of data availability or capacity, among others. As the most important things, I would like to highlight 3 aspects: Making data accessible and engaging through various communication methods is essential for transparency and effective decision-making, though it requires overcoming significant technical and legal barriers. Using data to adapt the global Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) to local priorities is crucial for fostering political buy-in and effective governance, as demonstrated by cities like Patiala and New York City. Integrating local data with national monitoring systems is difficult due to varying resources and methodologies, but cities like those in Colombia and Brazil have developed innovative frameworks to address these challenges. You can find article through this link. Abstract: Cities are central to achieving the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, yet many remain disengaged from the process. This paper examines nine city and subnational pilot projects conducted between 2015 and 2019, to assess the role of a data-based approach to governance in improving decision-making for sustainable development. We consider to what extent a data-based approach to governance can help cities in (a) localizing the sustainable development goals (SDGs); (b) integrating national and local datasets; (c) increasing openness of data and enabling better accountability for outcomes; and (d) encouraging innovation in data gathering. We find that data is considered a useful entry point for local sustainable development conversations and employing a focus on data management is welcomed by nearly all local governments, however, few localities explicitly focus on data to improve their sustainable development outcomes. Critically, despite the excitement around big data, most cities are unable to access them due to capacity challenges, data ownership, and privacy concerns.

Are you interested in why bees matter for cities? Summary of the article titled Why bees are critical for achieving sustainable development? from 2021 by Vidushi Patel, Natasha Pauli, Eloise Biggs, Liz Barbour, and Bryan Boruff, published in Ambio – A Journal of Environment and Society. This is a great preparation to our next interview with Simon Burt in episode 220 talking about bees and their connection to cities. Since we are investigating the future of cities, I thought it would be interesting to see how bees contribute to sustainable development. This article investigates the threats of bee population reductions and the broader importance of bees to sustainable development beyond their role in promoting food security and biodiversity. As the most important things, I would like to highlight 3 aspects: Bees play a crucial role in pollination, directly impacting food security, biodiversity, and sustainable agriculture by supporting the pollination of a wide array of crops and wild plants. The decline in bee populations due to habitat loss, pesticides, and climate change poses a significant threat to their ecological benefits, highlighting the urgent need for conservation efforts to protect these vital pollinators. Bees contribute to achieving 15 of the 17 United Nations' Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), underscoring their broad importance beyond pollination to include economic, environmental, and social dimensions of sustainable development. You can find the article through this link. Abstract: Reductions in global bee populations are threatening the pollination benefits to both the planet and people. Whilst the contribution of bee pollination in promoting sustainable development goals through food security and biodiversity is widely acknowledged, a range of other benefits provided by bees has yet to be fully recognised. We explore the contributions of bees towards achieving the United Nation's Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Our insights suggest that bees potentially contribute towards 15 of the 17 SDGs and a minimum of 30 SDG targets. We identify common themes in which bees play an essential role, and suggest that improved understanding of bee contributions to sustainable development is crucial for ensuring viable bee systems.

This talk highlights the advanced use of sensing systems that collect continuous data from wearable devices, such as location trackers and voice-activated recorders, to deepen our understanding of human behavior and development. The speaker will explain behavioral imaging, which involves creating a dynamic multimodal representation of behavioral data over time. The focus will be on a specific sensing system and its application in two key studies in preschool environments. The first study investigates classroom social networks and the dynamics of children within these networks, while the second evaluates the effects of an intervention aimed at reducing social isolation in young children by altering network configurations.

Welcome to The Nonlinear Library, where we use Text-to-Speech software to convert the best writing from the Rationalist and EA communities into audio. This is: Economic Growth - Donation suggestions and ideas, published by DavidNash on January 8, 2024 on The Effective Altruism Forum. There was a recent post about economic growth & effective altruism by Karthik Tadepalli. He pointed out that a lot of people agree that economic growth is important, but it hasn't really led to many suggestions for specific interventions. I thought it would be good to get the ball rolling[1] by asking a few people what they think are good donation opportunities in this area, or if not, do they think this area is neglected when you have governments, development banks, investors etc all focused on growth. I'm hoping there will be more in depth research into this in 2024 to see whether there are opportunities for smaller/medium funders, and how competitive it is with the best global health interventions. I have fleshed out a few of the shorter responses with more details on what the suggested organisation does. Shruti Rajagopalan (Mercatus Center): XKDR Forum - Founded by Ajay Shah and Susan Thomas, it aims to advance India's growth journey through economic research, data analysis, and policy engagement, with a focus on core areas like macroeconomics, finance, and judiciary. Susan Thomas has a track record of running a fantastic research group at Indira Gandhi Institute of Development Research and Ajay Shah brings years of experience from fostering research groups at NIPFP and time as consultant to the Finance Ministry, Government of India. Both are excellent economists; their strengths include thinking about big questions from first principles, as well as a strong commitment to economic growth and freedom. They are also very good incubators of talent, and have some excellent young researchers working with them - e.g. Former Emergent Ventures winners Prosperiti -A non-profit organization dedicated to economic growth, greater economic freedom and job opportunities for Indians. It is the only all-female founded research think tank in India with cofounders Bhuvana Anand and Baishali Boman at the helm. Their key focus is on labor regulation, especially gendered regulation. They also work on state and local level regulation impacting businesses, pointing out restrictive labor regulations to state and local government partners. Their core strategy is to offer actionable research on state regulations, assist state governments with the detailed correction of laws and regulations, and also channels the findings to the Union government. Former Emergent Ventures winners Artha Global - Policy consulting organization that assists developing world governments in designing, implementing, and institutionalizing growth and prosperity-focused policy frameworks. Originally the IDFC Institute, Artha was re-founded under CEO Reuben Abraham after institutional changes to continue the team's work under a new banner. Artha places a strong emphasis on strengthening state capacity as a critical factor in translating intentions into real impact and unlocking India's growth potential. Instead of just focusing on technical inputs, Artha also focuses on coordinated policy implementation. Reuben Abraham's extensive global network identifies talented potential collaborators across government and private institutions. His and Artha's strength lies in bringing together disparate actors and backing them to find shared solutions. Former Emergent Ventures winners Growth Teams - Founded by Karthik Akhileshwaran and Jonathan Mazumdar, Growth Teams believes sustaining higher broad-based growth and job creation is imperative for alleviating Indian poverty. They are also advised by growth theorists and empiricists like Lant Pritchett. With federal reforms largely exhausted since the 1990s, the onus is now on states to pursue vital labor, land, capital, industrial, and environmental reform...

With the whirlwind development of AI, it can be difficult to keep track of its uses in both research and the market. In this episode of The Chain podcast, host Ben Hackel, Professor of Chemical Engineering & Materials Science at the University of Minnesota, speaks with Enkelejda “Ledi” Miho, Professor of Digital Life Sciences at the University of Applied Sciences Northwestern Switzerland FHNW, who breaks down the current state of AI and its role in drug development. She talks about the opportunities of AI and drug discovery and how digital biomarkers and molecular data are helping with personalized medicine. Miho also discusses the challenges of advancing AI, why having an “adisciplinary” approach is the key to assembling the right team, and how to design studies to be as broadly robust as possible, as well as the advancements of her and her team's own research.
Matin Qaim, Director of the Center for Development Research at the University of Bonn, examines the various aspects comprising food security, namely local and global supply chains, the generation of income for local farmers, investments in the production of nutritious foods, as well as accounting for climate externalities. Attaining food security has become even more difficult given the disruptions around the pandemic, rising inflation, and the failed Black Sea grain deal. He asserts that small-scale farming and agroecological approaches are not necessarily low-tech and that certain technologies, if applied correctly, can assist smallholder farmers.
What role do retail pharmacies have in research studies? In this episode of the Scope of Things, host Deborah Borfitz speaks with Ramita Tandon, Chief Clinical Trials Officer at Walgreens.

Over the last month, the government has banned the export of wheat and imposed quantitative restrictions on outbound sugar shipments. The wheat export ban came within days of a push to enhance India's wheat supplies to the rest of the world after Russia's invasion of Ukraine. The move came in the midst of persistently high inflation, spurred by rising food and fuel prices, and concerns about a lower yield this year due to excessive heat waves. The government has argued that farmers have not lost out due to the ban as most had already sold their produce this season. Here we discuss the efficacy of these curbs. Guests: S. Mahendra Dev, director and vice-chancellor, Indira Gandhi Institute of Development Research; Himanshu, associate professor at the JNU's Centre for Economic Studies and Planning, School of Social Sciences Host: Vikas Dhoot Read the parley article here

Faith and spiritual leaders are influential, often deeply trusted members of their communities, with power to direct community attitudes on violence against women and violence against children. In this episode we find out why it's critical that we engage faith and spiritual leaders to address these issues, we discuss the patriarchal nature of religion and faith, and the importance of bringing more women into the conversation. We also hear about promising programmes with faith leaders that are making positive and sustainable change possible. Our guests are Shruti Majumdar, Monitoring and Evaluation Specialist at the UN Trust Fund to End Violence against Women, Elisabet Le Roux, Research Director at the Unit for Religion and Development Research at Stellenbosch University, and Prabu Deepan, Gender Equality Practitioner and Advocate at Tearfund.

Summary of the article titled Smart cities – a road map for development from 2018 by Sam Musa, published in IEEE Potentials journal. Since we are investigating the future of cities, I thought it would be interesting to understand how a practical approach defines smart city as the future of cities. This article introduces a city-wide smart, secure and resilient transformation needed in light of urban challenges. You can find the article through this link. Abstract: Cities and counties face many challenges and risks, such as unemployment, poverty, traffic congestion, high crime rates, cyberattacks, and slow bureaucratic systems for processing business transactions. People, processes, and technology are three pillars of smart-city initiatives that can be utilized to alleviate such a challenge. Cities and counties should study their communities, create policies, and implement technological solutions to meet the needs of their local communities. Local, state, and federal governments must be innovative and develop a road map to address and provide solutions to mitigate risks and challenges to create a sustainable future for their citizens. Digital transformation is one option that governments can rely on to overcome many of these challenges; other options may include adopting e-government, engaging residents, and building resilient cities. Government officials must build a coalition to collaborate, leverage, and integrate technologies to create real economic opportunities by fostering a citywide, smart, secure, and resilient transformation. The transcript is available through this link. What wast the most interesting part for you? What questions did arise for you? Let me know on twitter @WTF4Cities!

The latest vaccination rates show Māori in Auckland will not come anywhere near the 90 percent first dose challenge laid down by the Prime Minister in time for next week alert level review. And reaching that target could take months. Jacinda Ardern hinted that hitting the 90 percent mark could influence restrictions on Auckland - but she later clarified that needs to be across all groups - including Māori. The Prime Minister has already confirmed even if there is a shift in levels - the hard border around the city will remain. So what does vaccination picture look like for Auckland? Lisa Owen explains the details, and Professor Chris Cunningham - Māori Health and Development Research centre director at Te Pūmanawa Hauora - says there's three major issues at play.

POLICY SEMINAR Financing food systems transformation JUL 13, 2021 - 09:30 AM TO 11:00 AM EDT In the run-up to the UN Food Systems Summit, excitement is building around game-changing solutions emerging from the Action Tracks and country policy priorities identified in national dialogues. Development of these solutions is benefiting from the lens of the five UNFSS cross-cutting levers and the evidence-based focus provided by the Scientific Group. But implementation will depend on countries' ability to access and adequately utilize funding for food systems transformation. This event, organized by CGIAR-IFPRI in coordination with the UNFSS Scientific Group, will bring together a group of experts to discuss options for mobilizing and utilizing funding to finance food systems transformation and achieve the related Sustainable Development Goals. Speakers will consider financing options from the perspective of consumers, value chain operators, international development funds, public budgets, banking systems, and capital markets, with a particular focus on SDG 2 Zero Hunger.

Pacientes com covid-19, mesmo recuperados, ainda sofrem com a mudança no paladar e olfato, que pode ser irreversível. Isso está relacionado à lesão causada, principalmente, nos neurônios sensoriais. Esta é um das sinalizações trazidas pelo neurocientista Fabiano de Abreu, doutor em neurociência e membro da Federação das Sociedades Europeias de Neurociências (Fens), em estudos sobre o novo coronavírus. Junto ao cardiologista Roberto Yano, o neurocientista buscou compreender os riscos que a doença acarreta tanto para o sistema nervoso central, quanto para o sistema cardiovascular. Deste trabalho conjunto surgiu um artigo científico já aprovado e publicado pelo "International Journal of Development Research". "Sabemos que, ao nível neurológico teremos danos seja a nível celular ou, a própria infecção pode causar traumas que afetam a nossa capacidade cognitiva e que podem resultar em transtornos, síndromes ou outras variáveis futuras", explica. "Ainda na minha área de enfoque, preocupa-me também com a saúde mental da sociedade em geral que está, a nível geracional, a vivenciar algo deste tipo pela primeira vez", continua. Ele aponta que os danos que o coronavírus podem causar estão ainda em fase incipiente de estudo, uma vez que é uma doença relativamente nova mas, a cada dia, crescem os casos de relatos de pessoas que, mesmo após superarem, referem sequelas. "Pacientes com covid-19, mesmo recuperados, ainda sofrem com a mudança no paladar e olfato, que pode ser irreversível. Isso está relacionado à lesão causada, principalmente, nos neurônios sensoriais, primários", finaliza. Confira as explicações completas!

Elisa Van Waeyenberge (SOAS), María José Romero (SOAS/Eurodad) Presentation slides: https://www.soas.ac.uk/economics/events/file138173.pdf Currently there is keen political interest in public-private partnerships (PPPs) as a way to leverage private finance. PPPs are increasingly being promoted to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals, which include economic infrastructure, but also key services such as health and education. Donor governments and financial institutions, such as the World Bank Group have promoted changes in national regulatory frameworks to allow for PPPs, as well as provided advice and finance for PPP projects in both the Global North and South. This session will discuss the general context that gives raise to PPPs as a financing mechanism, and present the Report ‘History RePPPeated – How public-private partnerships are failing’ which discusses ten PPP projects that have been implemented across four continents. The Report illustrates the most common problems encountered by PPPs, challenging the capacity of PPPs to deliver results in the public interest. Speaker biographies: Elisa is a Senior Lecturer in Development Economics at SOAS University of London. Her research interests include alternative macroeconomic policies in developing countries, the role of International Financial Institutions across policy and scholarly realms, as well as the financing of infrastructure and public service provision. She has authored several articles on these topics as well as edited books with colleagues, including The Political Economy of Development: The World Bank, Neoliberalism and Development Research, together with Kate Bayliss and Ben Fine. María José has a degree and master degree in political science from the University of the Republic of Uruguay. She has worked for the European Network on Development (Eurodad) since 2012 as a Policy and Advocacy Manager on private finance and development finance institutions. Before that, she worked on development finance related issues for civil society organisations in Peru and in Uruguay. She has published several articles and civil society reports on PPPs, as well as co-edited ‘History rePPPeated’. In 2018 she started a PhD in Development Economics at SOAS with a research project on PPPs in health and education.

Senior Technical Advisor for Development Research and Project Center (DRPC), Emmanuel Adebayo Abanida, has called on the federal government to ensure the release of the Basic Health Care Provision Fund (BHCPF) which has not been made available despite its inclusion in the 2018 budget. Abanida made the call during a one-day strategy session on advocacy for implementation of the Basic Health Care Provision Fund (BHCPF) of the National Health Act, NHA which was organized by the DFID Partnership to Engage, Reform and Learn (DFID-PERL) in Abuja. Abanida said provision for the money has been included in the 2018 budget but has not been released even though the year will end very soon. He added that if the money is not released, it would not be considered as a priority in 2019. Abanida who believed there is no justification for delay in the disbursement of the fund lamented that “there are so many theories and reasons to why this money has not been released, but I think the political will to make sure that it happens can be stronger than this, if it is stronger the money would be released.” He decried the way people consider health issue in the country which has affected the health sector, “the way we take health in Nigeria is not a priority, we consider Security Power, and Food security as priority but we need to be healthy to be able to provide other things that need to be done. He urged the media to play its role to play by advocating for the urgent release of the fund as a way to boost the health sector.

Die Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) stellen einen ganzheitlichen und universellen Ansatz für eine ökonomische, ökologische und soziale Transformation dar. Alle Mitgliedsstaaten der Vereinten Nationen haben sich unter anderem verpflichtet, die Menschenrechte zu wahren sowie für Rechtsstaatlichkeit, Frieden und Sicherheit zu sorgen. Sind diese Forderungen einlösbar oder sind sie utopisch? Trotz technischer Errungenschaften und Wohlstand fehlt es Millionen Menschen immer noch an Zugang zu sauberem Wasser oder zu medizinischer Versorgung.Über die Umsetzung der SDGs diskutieren namhafte Gäste im Rahmen des 50-jährigen Jubiläums der Österreichischen Forschungsstiftung für Internationale Entwicklung (ÖFSE). Schauplatz des runden Geburtstags ist die von der ÖFSE veranstaltete Konferenz „The new multipolar global order and the challenge of the SDGs“ am 12. und 13. Oktober in Wien. In dieser Sendung bringen wir Eindrücke von der Konferenz und diskutieren mit Andreas Melcher, Leiter des Centre for Development Research an der Universität für Bodenkultur (BOKU) und APPEAR-Projektkoordinator. Er berichtet unter anderem über grenzüberschreitende Aktivitäten der BOKU in Bezug auf die Agenda 2030 und die Umsetzung der nachhaltigen Entwicklungsziele an Hochschulen.Das am Ende angesprochene Paper von Margharita Langthaler "Bildung und die Sustainable Development GoalsZur Einschätzung des Bildungsziels in den SDGs" finden Sie hier.Gestaltung und Moderation: Maiada Hadaia (Verantwortlich für den Sendungsinhalt)Gast: Dipl.-Ing.

In August 2017 Prof Uma Kothari, Global Development Institute, spoke at the EADI NORDIC 2017 conference on ‘Contesting Reconfigured Boundaries: Migration and Development’. The conference was a joint partnership between EADI (European Association of Development Research and Training Institutes), NFU (Norwegian Association of Development Research), the University of Bergen (UiB) and the Chr. Michelsen Institute (CMI).
Clostridium difficile (klos-TRID-e-um dif-uh-SEEL), often called C. difficile or C. diff impacts 453,000 people every year. And with 29,000 associated deaths, it takes more lives than AIDS and drunk-driving combined. Yet, most people have never even heard of it. That's a big problem because you can't protect yourself from a threat when you don't even know it exists. The impact on the business of healthcare is significant too. A study published in the American Journal of Infection Control found that C. diff-associated diarrhea (CDAD) increases hospital costs by 40% per case (an average of $7,285 ) and puts those infected at high risk for longer hospital stays and readmissions. Some even believe those numbers are likely underestimated. C. diff presents us with an interesting problem at the cross-section of Infection Prevention and Control (IPAC). It's an environmental bacterium that's found pretty much everywhere and is difficult to kill, but it's usually held in check by the good bacteria in our bodies. The problem usually occurs when a patient is in a weakened state from some other healthcare intervention. That may be an antibiotic treatment for another healthcare-associated infection or chemotherapy, etc. With our bodies in a weakened state and our good bacteria depleted by antibiotics, we become susceptible to C. diff. So, it's important that we execute on all the other IPAC practices like proper hand hygiene and surface cleaning in the hospital so that, as our guest puts it, we can disrupt the chain of events that allow to C. diff to proliferate. Episode 005 (part 4 of our IPAC series): On this episode, we're joined by the co-founder and Executive Director of the Peggy Lillis Foundation (PLF), Christian John Lillis. Like so many people who've dedicated their lives to driving change in the healthcare industry, Christian has a very powerful "why". He lost his mother to a clostridium difficile (C. diff) infection in April 2010. After struggling with the fact that he lost his mother to a disease he never heard of, and later finding out that it impacts so many people, Christian, along with his brother Liam, founded PLF and are building a nationwide C. diff awareness movement by educating the public, empowering advocates and shaping policy. Christian gives us a deep and personal take on his family's experience with C. Diff and the work that the Peggy Lillis Foundation is doing to help. We discuss: What is clostridium difficile (C. diff)? Is C. diff a Healthcare-Associated Infection (HAI) or something else? How important are hand hygiene and environmental cleaning in preventing the spread of C. diff? Why haven't more people heard of C. diff? Why is it so hard to measure the true impact of C. diff on our health system? How do we fix that? Why do only some states require reporting on outbreaks? How does that affect the business of healthcare? How does it affect the patients? What is the Prevention and Public Health Fund? Why is it under fire and what is the impact to the CDC, states and beyond? What is the financial impact of C. diff? Christian's story is powerful and it's full of wisdom that can help patients, families, and providers. In our quest to unravel the business of healthcare, it's important to understand the people we serve and how our work impacts their lives. This is a crash course and I hope it touches you as it did me.

Diese fanden von 5. bis 8. Mai in der Wiener Urania statt und wurden in Kooperation mit der Caritas Austria, der Austrian Development Agency, der Kommission für Entwicklungsforschung und dem Vienna Institute for International Dialogue and Cooperation organisiert. AGRINATURA ist ein Zusammenschluss von 31 europäischen Universitäten und Forschungseinrichtungen, welche in den Bereichen landwirtschaftliche Forschung, Bildung, Ausbildung und Fortbildung und Aufbau von Kapazitäten für Entwicklung tätig sind.2050 werden zehn Milliarden Menschen die Erde bevölkern. Welternährungssysteme die die globale Ernährungssicherheit gewährleisten werden unentbehrlich. Doch derzeit durchlaufen diese ökologische, ökonomische, soziale und strukturelle Veränderungen. Auch wenn Kleinbäuerinnen und Kleinbauern zunehmend mehr Lebensmittel für Verbraucher/innen und Märkte produzieren, leiden Menschen Hunger und sind prekären Lebensbedingungen ausgesetzt.Bei den AGRINATURA Science Days wurden Fragen diskutiert, ob und wie Allianzen zwischen kleinen Familienbetrieben und Wissenschafter/innen unterschiedlicher Disziplinen lokale und globale Nahrungsmittelsysteme nachhaltig verbessern können und auf welche Weise die Lebensmittel-und Ernährungssicherheit für die Versorgung der Weltbevölkerung transformiert werden kann.Welt im Ohr war vor Ort und bringt spannende Eindrücke von der Konferenz und ein Interview mit Florence Kyazze, einer Lehrenden an der Makerere Universität in Kampala, Uganda, und Partnerin im appear-Projekt WATERCAP in Kooperation mit der Universität für Bodenkutlur in Wien. Im Studio diskutieren Michael Hauser, Leiter des Centre for Development Research an der BOKU und Organisator der Konferenz und Monika Thuswald von ÖBV Via Campesina über das Thema Welternährung.Gestaltung: Maiada Hadaia (für den Sendungsinhalt verantwortlich)Gäste:Michael Hauser (Centre for Development Research/ BOKU und AGRINATURA)Monika Thuswald (ÖBV Via Campesina)Sendetermine: Freitag, 09.05.2014, 20:00-21.00 Uhr auf Ö1 Campusradio & Montag, 12.05.2014, 11:00-12:00 Uhr auf Radio Orange 94.0Das Austrian Partnership Programme in Higher Education and Research for Development (appear), ist ein Hochschulkooperationsprogramm finanziert durch die Österreichische Entwicklungszusammenarbeit.Musik: Orchestranik-Samawara Nachzuhören auf Jamendo - eine Community für freie, legale und unlimitierte Musik, die unter Creative Commons Lizenzen veröffentlicht wurde.

Während Multikulturalität oftmals ein Nebeneinander beschreibt, geht es in der Interkulturalität um ein gezieltes Miteinander.Sind internationale kooperative Forschungsprojekte Paradebeispiele für gelebte Interkulturalität? Das Finden einer gemeinsamen Sprache und eines Kommunikationskonsenses sind für die Zusammenarbeit bedeutsam. Aber genügt die Einigung auf eine gemeinsame Sprache wie beispielsweise Englisch oder Französisch als Lingua Franca? Welchen Einfluss haben andere Faktoren - wie kulturelle oder gesellschaftliche Hintergründe und Rahmenbedingungen? In welcher Weise ist interkulturelle Kommunikation eine Schlüsselkompetenz in der globalisierten Forschung?Wir begeben uns in dieser Sendung auf vielfältige Spurensuche und Maria Wurzinger und Sigrid Awart plaudern aus ihrer Forschungspraxis und diskutieren Erfahrungen.Die Psychologin und Ethnologin Sigrid Awart (Maga, Dr.in) arbeitet derzeit als Bildungsberaterin bei Peregrina (Bildungs-, Beratungs- und Therapiezentrum für Immigrantinnen) und ist Lektorin an der Interuni Graz-Seggau. Nach Forschungsaufenthalten in Papua Neuguinea, Senegal und Südafrika sind ihre wissenschaftlichen Schwerpunkte Ethnopsychoanalyse, Akkulturation und Frauenmigration. Maria Wurzinger (DI Dr.in) ist Mitarbeiterin am Institut für Nutztierwissenschaften am Department für nachhaltige Agrarsysteme an der BOKU und stellvertretende Leiterin des CDR, des Centre for Development Research an der BOKU. Sie studierte Landwirtschaft mit dem Schwerpunkt Tierzucht und beschäftigt sich in ihren derzeitigen Forschungen mit nachhaltiger Tierhaltung in Ostafrika und Lateinamerika - Forschungsprojekte, die auch von der KEF gefördert werden.Gestaltung und Moderation: Matthias Weissgram (Verantwortlich für den Sendungsinhalt.)Gäste:Sigrid AwartMaria WurzingerMusik: Guido Dolermo - Blue Bass, Guido Dolermo - Black Rainbow, Guido Dolermo - Stranger, Guido Dolermo - Folk Nachzuhören auf Jamendo - eine Community für freie, legale und unlimitierte Musik, die unter Creative Commons Lizenzen veröffentlicht wurde.

Bright B. Simons is a Ghanaian technology innovator, Development Activist and Social Entrepreneur. As the Director of Development Research at the award-winning African think tank IMANI (www.imanighana.org), and as the President of the mPedigree Network (www.mPedigree.Net), he works to promote innovation as the best response to Africa's various developmental challenges. His insights have been shared through the Economist, New York Times, BusinessWeek, the Financial Times, Asian Times, and the BBC, where he is a regular commentator for the World Service. Bright is a Technology Pioneer of the World Economic Forum and a member of its Global Agenda Councils (the organisation's foremost expert body). Bright invented a system for large-scale supply chains between 2004 and 2005, that has been successfully deployed by some pharmaceutical companies to protect their brands from counterfeiters, and by consumers to instantly verify the genuineness of their medicines by means of a free text message. The concept is at the base of the mPedigree platform, arguably the most celebrated item of original technology to emerge from Africa. Bright has consulted for the World Bank in the development of a new strategy for Africa, and for the West African Health Organisation in the context of the latter's recent wide-ranging policy on medicinal counterfeiting in the region. A TED and Ashoka Fellow, he is also both a Tech Award Laureate and a member of the Evian Group's Brain Trust at IMD, widely considered to be Europe's foremost business school. In 2010, he became an Associate of the Archbishop Desmond Tutu Fellowship.

The law has always treated children differently, and these differences in treatment are largely attributed to differences in capacity.Children lack the decision making ability and the self-control of adults, the cases and commentary explains, and therefore should be given less control over their own lives, and blamed less severely for their offenses.For much of the 20th century, these developmental arguments were grounded in life experience and conventional wisdom.More recently, however, developmental psychologists and legal scholars have joined forces to argue for legal rights and responsibilities that more accurately and consistently reflect psychological (and, most recently, neuroscientific) research about how children change as they grow up.This heavy reliance on developmental science was embraced by the Supreme Court in Roper v. Simmons, the 2005 case ruling that the Constitution prohibited the imposition of the death penalty for offenses committed by juveniles.While the Roper analysis can be applauded for its careful attention to social scientists' increasingly sophisticated understanding of children's capacities, it also demonstrates certain risks that come with this inter-disciplinary approach.In her talk, Buss will consider these risks, and suggest an approach to the formulation of children's rights that rests less on our current understanding of children's capacities and more on the role we want the law to play in shaping how children grow up.
