Giang discusses the steps involved in adapting the models; weighing the benefits of granular, individualized data against considerations of personal privacy; the limitations of modeling and quantitative analysis; and the challenges of communicating with decisionmakers about the complexity and uncertainty of model results.

Kate Beaton and her family have deep roots in hard-working, rural Cape Breton, Nova Scotia. In her 2024 Henry Kreisel Memorial Lecture, the popular cartoonist points out what is lost when working-class voices are shut out of opportunities in the worlds of arts, culture, and media.

Puntata a cura di Untimoteo.Ducks: due anni nelle sabbie bituminose è la graphic novel rivelazione di Kate Beaton, già apprezzata autrice di libri per l'infanzia e umoristici, e pennino di punta del New Yorker. Il libro, edito in Italia dalla Bao Publishing, amplia in oltre 400 pagine il diario disegnato del 2005, quando per due anni deve lavorare nei giacimenti di sabbie bituminose dell'Alberta.Un libro tanto lineare nello stile quanto profondo nelle tematiche. Uno squarcio inedito su un Canada tutt'altro che progressista e attento all'ambiente. Un atto d'accusa in primis alla società dello sfruttamento, e di conseguenza a quel che comporta: solitudine, minacce e abusi. Il tutto mai urlato, ma narrato sottovoce, come la confidenza di un'amica che si vuole togliere un peso.“Fumetto” è il formato del podcast di Mondoserie dedicato al mondo dei fumetti.

Kate Beaton gained an international following for “Hark, a Vagrant,” a quirky, satirical, historically informed comic strip. Beaton’s newest book takes a very different turn. It is a deeply personal graphic memoir called “Ducks: Two Years in the Oil Sands" about the time she spent working in the oil industry in Alberta, Canada in the mid-2000s. The book is a brutally honest exploration of class, migration, misogyny, and the culture of her homeland: the island of Cape Breton, in the Atlantic province of Nova Scotia. We listen back to a conversation with Beaton at the 2022 Portland Book Festival.

Es hora de hacer RE: señas de un montón de comics, leímos muchísimo para est programa. Todo argentino, menos uno canadiense. Empezamos con Valkirias! (de José Luis Gaitán, Malukomics), un comic de fantasía épica basado en la mitología nórdica; y seguimos con Aquelarres (de Patricio Oliver, Barro Editora / Clan de Fomento), una aventura de brujas con tintes superheroicos en un mundo gobernado por un régimen tiránico. Seguimos con un doblete de guiones de Lubrio, con Favor Con Favor Se Paga (arte de Nicolás Viñolo, Multiversal), un drama sobrenatural sobre salud mental y desigualdad; y el tercer volumen de uno de nuestros comics favoritos, El Último Recurso: El Fin de Nuestros Elaborados Planes (arte de Kundo Krunch, Libera La Bestia), donde la Doom Patrol / Suicide Squad criolla vuelve a salvar al mundo mientras son desagradables y graciosos. Terminamos con Ducks: Two Years in the Oil Sands, un libro autobiográfico de Kate Beaton (editado por Drawn and Quarterly), donde la autora cuenta los dos durísimos años que pasó trabajando en la industria petrolera de Alberta, Canadá, sujeta a machismo, desarraigo, pobres condiciones de trabajo que afectan su salud física y mental, y una mirada a los problemas económicos y ecológicos que sufre su país y habitantes. Con música de Therion, Locomía, Pomplamoose (interpretando a Rodgers & Hammerstein), Tim Hus, y Bebe Buckskin. Próximo programa: Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem, TMNT Orígenes Secretos, Donatello: Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle (1986).

Kate Beaton, New York Times Bestselling author and winner of Canada Reads 2023, chats with Alyssa and Kailea. They talk about the pull of heartache and success in relation to home, how our environment shapes the dreams we dream, and what makes her feel the most like herself.   In this episode they discuss:  The messiness of the human experience and how her graphic novel Ducks so accurately and uniquely captured the emotional complexity of it. How, for her, even in the worst situations, there will be moments of fondness.  What influences do we need to dream big and how does our environment shape how ‘stretchy' our imaginations become? How growing up in a small town on the east coast of Canada shaped her idea of success, and how the local economy and export of labour gave her the impression she had to leave to succeed financially. Being young and believing the people who tell you that you are powerless. How for her, home is where you like yourself best.  Success and what that means to her. Hometown support and how impactful it has been for her.  This conversation is honest and interesting. It will leave you thinking about how you have come to dream what you dream, and where you feel most at home. This episode is brought to you by the following sponsors: Emily Howard Art.

This week we're sharing an episode from This is Uncomfortable from Marketplace, a podcast about life and how money messes with it (you know that's our bag) hosted by Reema Khrais.  To give you a taste of the show, we're playing an episode from their latest season, featuring Canadian comics artist Kate Beaton. When Kate graduated college, she had exactly one goal: get rid of her student debt as fast as possible. The goal took priority over everything else in her life, including the dream of trying to make it as an artist. But when she decided to take a job in the oil sands of Alberta, Canada, she didn't know she would be entering a workplace that was a world of its own, where the ordinary rules of society would not always apply. You can find a more detailed episode description here. This episode was produced by Camila Kerwin.

The boys drill into Kate Beaton's indie graphic comic “Ducks”. How does Beaton's autobiographical comic explore life in the oil sands of Canada?

Kate Beaton is a Canadian comics artist. She's the author of the award-winning comics series Hark! A Vagrant and Step Aside, Pops, which each earned spots on the New York Times bestseller list. Her most recent work, a graphic memoir called Ducks: Two Years in the Oil Sands, takes readers in a different direction. Ducks follows Kate's life just after college. She'd graduated with student debt and got a chance to pay it off early: all she had to do was work for a little while mining oil in Eastern Alberta. The oil sands are a world unlike any other, towns and cities created from scratch to forcibly extract resources from the earth. People worked there because they desperately needed a job, for myriad reasons. Kate worked alongside people, mostly men, who were separated from their families, their hometowns and the normal expectations of human behavior. Kate talks to Bullseye about her journey writing this memoir. Content warning: This conversation with Kate Beaton contains some mentions of sexual harassment and sexual violence.

Kate Beaton's new book, Ducks, is not about ducks. At least not really. It's about people, specifically Kate and the people she worked with during a two-year period after finishing university, working in the remote oil sands region of northern Alberta, Canada.The camps at the oil sands housed hundreds of employees and they were not an easy place to be, filled with depression, broken marriages, and rampant substance use. Kate was one of only a handful of women working at the oil sands, a fact that introduced a number of other problems.Get your copy of Ducks: Two Years in the Oil Sands wherever books are sold.Thank you to all our listeners who support the show as monthly members of Maximum Fun.Check out our I'm Glad You're Here and Depresh Mode merchandise at the brand new merch website MaxFunStore.com!Hey, remember, you're part of Depresh Mode and we want to hear what you want to hear about.

Director Reggie Hudlin talks about his new documentary, Sidney, which highlights how Sidney Poitier's legacy paved the way for Black actors and filmmakers today.

Jake joins us to discuss a graphic memoir about working in the oil and gas industry named Ducks by Kate Beaton.

This week, Alan, Quinta, and Scott were joined by co-host emeritus Benjamin Wittes to talk through the big natsec news stories starting off the new year, including:“Watch Out, You Might Get What You're After.” As we recorded, the Freedom Caucus was in the midst of burning down the House, denying the Republican majority the ability to appoint Kevin McCarthy as Speaker through three consecutive ballots. Where might this lead? And what more should we expect from the 118th Congress? “Title and … Reversed?” The Supreme Court interrupted its holiday break to consider whether Republican-led states should be allowed to intervene in a case wherein a lower court ordered the end of Title 42 policies, which impose draconian immigration restrictions on the basis of the COVID-19 public health emergency. What could the Supreme Court's intervention mean for these policies? And what does their persistence tell us about immigration politics in our country?“A Boom Market for Things That Go Boom.” U.S. arms exports to NATO allies nearly doubled in 2022, due to Russia's invasion of Ukraine. But what might becoming an even larger arms exporter mean for U.S. foreign policy? For object lessons, Alan recommended the teen revenge flick, "Do Revenge." Quinta endorsed Kate Beaton's new graphic novel, "Ducks: Two Years in the Oil Sands." Scott issued a mea culpa for his recent lapses in Muppet knowledge and independently confirmed that yes, in fact, the new "Willow" television series is in fact good. And Ben urged listeners who might find themselves in NYC to check out Mike Birbiglia's latest stage show, "The Old Man and the Pool." Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Kate Beaton gained an international following for “Hark, a Vagrant,” a quirky, satirical, historically informed comic strip. Beaton's newest book takes a very different turn. It is a deeply personal graphic memoir called “Ducks: Two Years in the Oil Sands" about the time she spent working in the oil industry in Alberta, Canada in the mid-2000s. The book is a brutally honest exploration of class, migration, misogyny, and the culture of her homeland: the island of Cape Breton, in the Atlantic province of Nova Scotia.

How do you throw a party on a tight budget? In book four, we learn that Kit has set very low expectations for her tenth birthday. Then, everything changes when a mysterious stranger comes into town. Enter Aunt Millie, who comes to the big city from Mountain Hollow. Millie has plenty of life lessons and home hacks, but her new ideas are not always appreciated by Kit or her mother. We explore how Kit continues to adapt to her new life, the adoption of Grace the dog, and portrayals of family life during the Depression.

An independent review launched after up to 15 babies died at a hospital trust will be published later this morning. The report into maternity services at East Kent Hospitals, which is expected to be "harrowing", examined up to 200 cases involving mothers and babies. The medical experts reviewed an 11-year period from 2009 at two hospitals in Margate and Ashford. Two mothers who lost their babies at a hospital trust at the centre of a maternity scandal say they felt they were blamed for the deaths. Earlier our presenter Krupa Padhi spoke to one of those mothers Helen Gittos as she and her husband Alan, and other families, waited to be allowed to read the report. They lost their daughter Harriet in 2014. The cartoonist Kate Beaton has written a memoir about her time working in the oil fields of Canada aged 21 to pay off her student debt. Her memoir 'Ducks' tells of her loneliness and vulnerability in the male-dominated space and the kindness she found there too. The dirty machinery and blasted landscapes alongside the Northern Lights inspired her as an artist and her book offers a rare insight into the lives of the people who surface our oil . Carmen Callil, the publisher and writer who championed female writers and transformed the canon of English literature, has died of leukemia aged 84. She founded the feminist imprint Virago Press, where she published contemporary bestsellers including Margaret Atwood and Maya Angelou. She worked with writers such as Angela Carter, Alan Hollinghurst and Toni Morrison. She was also the first publisher of Hilary Mantel. We discuss her life with chair of Virago Press, Lennie Goodings, a long-term friend and former colleague of the late publisher and writer. Child-free women in the 20-something age bracket are sharing videos outlining what their day-to-day lives look like as #StayAtHomeGFs on TikTok. The hashtag has garnered 170 million posts and refers to one partner in a relationship whose role is to stay at home to look after their breadwinner boyfriend who goes to work and funds their lives. The content appears to be quite aspirational for many. We discuss the trend with the digital culture commentator Hannah Van de Peer and Alex Holder, a personal finance expert and author of Open Up: Why Talking About Money Will Change Your Life. Google searches for sterilisation peaked in the US in the aftermath of the overturning of Roe v Wade – and the morning after pill sold out. It's even made some women rethink whether or not they want children, and reports suggest younger women are even considering permanent sterilisation so they can't become pregnant again. 23-year-old Olivia from Massachusetts joins Krupa, alongside USA correspondent Holly Honderich and NHS gynaecologist Dr Larisa Corda, to chat about the implications of female sterilisation.

After finding herself saddled with lots of student debt from her undergraduate degree, Kate Beaton decided to attempt to pay them off by working in the oil sands of Alberta, Canada. But when she gets there, she finds herself shocked by the working conditions, racism and misogyny, and rampant corporate misconduct. Beaton recounts this time in her life in her new graphic memoir, Ducks: Two Years in the Oil Sands.
