Podcast appearances and mentions of josh lepawsky

Memorial University's Faculty Association has walked away from the province's Education Accord. We reach an associate professor with MUN's Dept of Geography who - until this week - held a position on the Education Accord Advisory Board. (Krissy Holmes with Josh Lepawsky)

The exit of Board of Regents chair Glenn Barnes means Memorial University's leadership has made national headlines twice in just over a year for scandals leading to high-profile departures. Is there an issue at the top of the ivory tower? We put that to the MUN Faculty Association (MUNFA) president Josh Lepawsky. (Krissy Holmes with Josh Lepawsky)

In our advancing technological world, it's hard to imagine living life without a phone or a tablet or a screen in the car. How do the chips in those devices connect to climate change? A professor of geography at Memorial University has been doing research into that question. (Jamie Fitzpatrick with Josh Lepawsky)

It's been nearly two weeks since a cybersecurity incident that has affected IT services at Grenfell Campus, Memorial University. That led to a delay in the start of in-person classes for the winter semester at the campus. Memorial University has released very little information about the exact nature of the cybersecurity incident. Josh Lepawsky, president of the Memorial University Faculty Association says it's also been excluded from decision making in response to the breach.

Class is back in session at most campuses of Memorial University, but students and faculty at Grenfell Campus in Corner Brook are still waiting to head back to the classroom. On Monday, the university announced that there had been a cybersecurity incident over the weekend. That has led to a delayed start to the winter semester at Grenfell Campus. MUN administration held a meeting with faculty representatives Wednesday morning. Josh Lepawsky is the president of the Faculty Association, and he spoke with the CBC's Elizabeth Whitten.

In this episode of the Energy Transition Talk, we explore our relationship with critical minerals. First, Paulina chats with Lauren Bridges, who researches industrial scale computing at Harvard University, and Zane Cooper, who researches digital media infrastructure and rare earth mineral extraction at the University of Pennsylvania. Lauren and Zane have also formed a research collaboration on critical minerals and e-waste. They talk about what critical materials are and why they matter for the energy transition, the relationship between the energy transition and the digital transformation, reframing energy as a dynamic process and a relationship rather than a material that we need to produce, rethinking the infrastructure design in our society and shifting energy demand, the e-waste feedback loop, and more. Justine then speaks with Prachotan Bathi, a Master's student in computer science at the USC Viterbi School of Engineering, who works for a cleantech startup that identifies sustainable lithium mining sites for the EV supply chain. They discuss the importance of lithium as a critical mineral for the energy transition, the environmental footprint of lithium mining and EVs compared to gas vehicles, the ways companies are working to make lithium mining more sustainable, and the biggest challenges and opportunities of lithium mining. 01:54 Interview with Lauren Bridges and Zane Cooper 52:06 Interview with Prachotan Bathi 1:11:00 Concluding Remarks Don't forget to subscribe to our podcast so you can automatically get access to our new episodes – you can find us on Apple, Spotify, YouTube, or wherever you get your podcasts.

No matter how many old cell phones we recycle, we can't keep up with the industrial pollution that goes into making one. Josh Lepawsky is a professor of geography at Memorial University, where he studies discarded electronics. He spoke with the CBC's Jamie Fitzpatrick.

Today on the show, we're digging through the trash. We talk about the things we throw away, where it all ends up, and what's the bigger solution to deal with all the waste we create? Our guest for today's show is Josh Lepawsky, co-author of a book called "Discard Studies: Wasting, Systems, and Power." But first, a chat with Minister of Environment and Climate Change, Bernard Davis.

 In this episode of For Tech's Sake, we dive into the landfill of digital waste to turn up some nuggets of information we hope you'll re-use. Tech waste involves more than just devices getting dumped, too. We also lose the precious and finite materials these devices contain. And, though it's not apparent to us, our digital detritus of messages, selfies and endless streams of data has a physical footprint. To understand more, we spoke to Gerry McGovern, author of World Wide Waste and host of the podcast of the same name. You can follow Gerry on Mastodon at @gerrymcgovern@mastodon.green. We've also included a link his previous interview with Jenny on SiliconRepublic.com, as well as some other links listeners might find useful. https://gerrymcgovern.com/ Silicon Republic interview: https://www.siliconrepublic.com/enterprise/gerry-mcgovern-digital-pollution-e-waste World Wide Waste podcast episode with Josh Lepawsky: https://www.thisishcd.com/episode/josh-lepawsky-pernicious-myth-of-digital-as-ethereal Dublin's Tog Hackerspace, which sometimes hosts a Repair Café: https://www.tog.ie/ Ireland's repair and reuse directory: http://www.repairmystuff.ie/ This episode of For Tech's Sake was hosted by Elaine Burke and Jenny Darmody, and brought to you by Silicon Republic and The HeadStuff Podcast Network.

Is your smartphone becoming more environmentally friendly? Are tech companies doing enough to reduce their carbon footprint? Josh Lepawsky, a researcher in the geography of waste shares his views on the problem of e-waste. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Dr. Josh Lepawsky is fascinated by connections between geography, technological systems, and their discards. He researches waste from the manufacturing of electronics to its end of life. He explores where e-waste accumulates and who it affects. He has a keen interest in “how maintenance and repair might offer lessons for figuring out how to live well together in permanently polluted and always breaking worlds. I started our chat by asking Josh about the “pernicious myth of digital-as-ethereal” https://electronicplanet.xyz/ https://mun.ca/geography/people/faculty/josh-lepawsky/ Gerry McGovern Twitter / https://twitter.com/gerrymcgovern World Wide Waste Book / https://gerrymcgovern.com/books/world-wide-waste/ Read transcript / https://www.thisishcd.com See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

An argument that social, political, and economic systems maintain power by discarding certain people, places, and things. Discard studies is an emerging field that looks at waste and wasting broadly construed. Rather than focusing on waste and trash as the primary objects of study, discard studies looks at wider systems of waste and wasting to explore how some materials, practices, regions, and people are valued or devalued, becoming dominant or disposable.  In Discard Studies: Wasting, Systems, and Power (MIT Press, 2022), Max Liboiron and Josh Lepawsky argue that social, political, and economic systems maintain power by discarding certain people, places, and things. They show how the theories and methods of discard studies can be applied in a variety of cases, many of which do not involve waste, trash, or pollution. Liboiron and Lepawsky consider the partiality of knowledge and offer a theory of scale, exploring the myth that most waste is municipal solid waste produced by consumers; discuss peripheries, centers, and power, using content moderation as an example of how dominant systems find ways to discard; and use theories of difference to show that universalism, stereotypes, and inclusion all have politics of discard and even purification—as exemplified in “inclusive” efforts to broaden the Black Lives Matter movement. Finally, they develop a theory of change by considering “wasting well,” outlining techniques, methods, and propositions for a justice-oriented discard studies that keeps power in view.

"A first step at reconciliation . . . that this diverse range of peoples were here before and yet have rights to this land." Dr. Josh Lepawsky--a geographer and technology researcher--takes us into the world of our tech. In this bonus episode, we take a moment--from both our islands--to acknowledge another layer to "here" that is rarely acknowledged.

"I think the thing to keep in mind {across these environmental issues} is that individual action just isn't enough." Dr. Josh Lepawsky--a geographer and technology researcher--takes us into the world of our tech. In this bonus episode, Josh talks about lessons from other multi-billion dollar industries, including the expectation of repair (think about cars, folks). It's a lesson that may need to apply to our tech and cyberspace sector--and the e-waste process that surrounds us.
