Lecture summary: Just over a year ago, the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) sought public comments on a bold and thoughtfully framed rule proposal for the enhancement and standardization of climate-related disclosure. It was a move that signaled to many that the US was finally responding to the global shift amongst investors and asset managers toward the integration of ESG data into fundamental value analysis. Today, however, as ESG issues in the US have become politically polarized and as litigation challenges loom large, the possibility of meaningful change appears more remote.Now is therefore an ideal time to spotlight the new ESG disclosure requirements in the UK and EU and, against this backdrop, to refute the claim that ESG disclosure involves “major questions” that transcend the SEC's longstanding and clear authority to impose new reporting requirements on publicly traded companies. The UK and EU experiences likewise provide valuable perspectives in connection with other hot-button issues in the US, including: closing the public-private disclosure gap, broadening the traditional concept of materiality, and imposing mandates that require real-time disclosure as opposed to disclosure primarily at periodic intervals.Donna M. Nagy is the C. Ben Dutton Professor of Law at Indiana University Maurer School of Law in Bloomington, Indiana, USA. She teaches and writes in the areas of securities litigation, securities regulation, and corporations, and has served for eight years as the law school's Executive Associate Dean. Her scholarship includes two co-authored books, one on the law of insider trading and a casebook on Securities Litigation, Enforcement, and Compliance. She has published extensively in distinguished law journals on matters including insider trading and fiduciary principles; securities disclosure and environmental, social, and governance (ESG) information; government officials and financial conflicts of interest; and securities enforcement remedies. She is also a frequent speaker on securities regulation and litigation topics at law schools and professional conferences. Professor Nagy is a member of the American Law Institute and served as a member of the National Adjudicatory Council of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA) and as an appointed member to the ABA Corporate Laws Committee. She began her teaching career in 1994, and prior to that, was an associate with Debevoise & Plimpton in Washington, D.C. She earned her law degree in 1989 from New York University School of Law and her BA in Political Science in 1986 from Vassar College.

David Noyce has spent his entire career researching transportation - in areas like advanced traffic operations, understanding driver behavior, and innovative technology like vehicle-to-vehicle and vehicle-to-infrastructure communication. In this episode, we're talking all about the future of smart transportation and the research being done across the country to bring transportation into the realm of smart cities.Cutting-Edge Transportation ResearchFor decades, Noyce has been performing cutting-edge transportation research at UW-Madison to help make our roads better and safer. In fact, his team helped develop the flashing yellow left turn signal that has vastly increased safety in those situations. Some of the work we discuss includes:Research at UW's Traffic Operations and Safety Laboratory (TOPS)Wisconsin Driving Simulator LaboratoryWisconsin Connected and Automated Transportation ConsortiumSafety Research Using Simulation (SaferSIM) CenterInnovative Research MethodsNoyce's transportation research itself is fascinating, but the way it's performed is even more innovative, including simulation, smart devices, and collaboration.The University of Wisconsin-Madison is home to the SaferSIM Center, where a full-scale driving simulator helps researchers study human driving behaviors in different scenarios. This research is part of the national consortium of universities performing similar work, known as University Transportation Centers. These institutions share data and collaborate to drive the future of transportation technology and infrastructure. In addition, the university is doing live research on Park street in Madison using smart sensors and smart devices to track driving behaviors and patterns. They're even working on a statewide basis with company partners who are helping to drive transportation innovation.The Future of Autonomous VehiclesPerhaps most exciting of all is the work David Noyce and his team are doing on autonomous vehicle research. UW-Madison has partnered with Gateway Technical College and the City of Racine to do research on a full-scale self-driving vehicle called The Badger. Students and researchers will use The Badger to learn about autonomous vehicle technology, capture tons of data as it drives around Gateway's Racine campus, and develop the algorithms that will enable vehicles like The Badger to drive safely on our city roads. Here's the big question: Will all vehicles be autonomous in 10 years?Elon Musk predicted that in 10 years, you won't be able to buy a car that isn't self-driving. Does David agree? Listen to find out!Episode page: https://techedpodcast.com/driving-smart-transportation-research/

For all states across the Asia-Pacific women's representation in all sectors remains dismally low. The COVID-19 pandemic and responses to it have disproportionately affected women and girls across the Asia-Pacific, from alarming increases in domestic violence during extended lockdowns to the growing gender gap in employment opportunities. Addressing these challenges requires policy-makers to implement gender-sensitive reforms, taking the voice and visibility of women and girls seriously in decision-making processes across both private and public sector spheres. As we manage the difficult task of recovery and the ongoing long term impacts of COVID-19 there has never been a better time to lift ambition on women's representation and participation in leadership roles. But how do we make this ambition a reality? This event is presented by La Trobe Asia and the Griffith Asia Institute. Introduction provided by Professor Caitlin Byrne, Director - Griffith Asia Institute Panel: - Professor Vivian Lin, Executive Associate Dean, Professor of Practice (Public Health), LKS Faculty of Medicine, Hong Kong University and Adjunct Professor, La Trobe Asia - Dr Dhara Shah, Senior Lecturer and Deputy Director Engagement in the Department of Business Strategy and Innovation, Griffith Business School - Ryce Chanchai, ASEAN Governance, Peace and Security Lead, UN Women Indonesia - Associate Professor Bec Strating, Director - La Trobe Asia (Chair) Recorded on 15 March 2022.

Today is our fourth episode of transfer-focused podcasts. We have been looking at various aspects of transfer at Ivy Tech including the role of our transfer advocates on each campus to a look at recent changes and opportunities with dual credit transfer and how students can complete high school with one year already earned toward their college degree. In our most recent podcast, we discussed what is happening on a statewide level to expand transfer opportunities for students. Today, we are going to change our focus to highlight what we believe the be one of our oldest and strongest partnerships with a four-year university. Long before Ivy Tech was named as the community college for Indiana with transfer as a specific part of our mission, IUPUI and Ivy Tech forged a partnership called Passport to specifically identify transfer opportunities and provide a bridge for transferring from Ivy Tech to IUPUI. This partnership has now been in existence for more than 22 years and has successfully assisted literally thousands of students over that time.  Our guests this week are: Dr. Kathy Lee, Chancellor, Ivy Tech Community College, Central Indiana Dr. Kathy Johnson, Executive Vice Chancellor and Chief Academic Officer, IUPUI Dr. Cathy Buyarski, Executive Associate Dean, University College, IUPUI  Dr. Rod Brown, Vice Chancellor for Academic Affairs, Ivy Tech Central Indiana We included several calls to action in this week's episode. Check out the book Dr. Buyarski mentioned. It is: The Transfer Experience: A Handbook for Creating More Equitable and Successful Postsecondary System. You can find it on our Bookshop page (https://bookshop.org/shop/ocyv) or by visiting https://bookshop.org/a/16624/9781620369470 or anywhere you wish to purchase books.

Earlier this week, the CDC and FDA recommended a pause in using the Johnson & Johnson COVID-19 vaccine to investigate the connection between six people who developed blood clots after getting the shot. Health officials in New York and around the country took quick steps to stop distributing the vaccine. After meeting on Wednesday, an advisory panel to the CDC asked for more time to review the cases before making a recommendation. On this week's episode, we discuss the issues that led up to the pause, what medical experts are saying about this vaccine, and how this could impact the distribution of vaccines during the pandemic. Our first guest is Dr. Amesh Adalja, an infectious disease expert at the Johns Hopkins Center for Health Security in Baltimore, to discuss the pause and what it means to our current vaccination push. We'll also hear from Dr. Torian Easterling, First Deputy Commissioner of the NYC Department Of Health and Mental Hygiene, to hear about the city's response to the pause. And finally, we'll speak with Dr. Carlos Del Rio, the Executive Associate Dean at Emory University School of Medicine, to learn about vaccines and safety.
