Kate Fletcher är pionjär inom forskning om mode och hållbarhet. Hon har under flera decennier anlagt ett designperspektiv på frågan. Hon har skrivit flera böcker om att använda plagg på annat sätt, om att mode och naturen är sammankopplade och hur vi kan påminnas om det, om att designen måste inbegripa en annan syn på material och plagg. Hon har också myntat begreppet Slow fashion. Många av hennes idéer och arbeten har fått stort genomslag i modeindustrin. Vilka är då modeindustrins allra största hinder för att bli hållbar idag, enligt Kate Fletcher? Hur vore det att göra mer slitstarka plagg? Och spelar det någon roll? Hur är idéer kring vad som är hållbart kopplat till koloniala maktstrukturer? Hur kan hållbart mode frodas i det lokala? Kan Slow Fashion mobilisera folk i dagens modelandskap? I dagens avsnitt intervjuar vi Kate Fletcher, Professor i Sustainability, Design and Fashion Systems vid Manchester Metropolitan University och vid Oslo Metropolitan University. Vi tar oss sedan över till Manhattan där Sofia Hedström de Leo pratar med The Public Foundations vd Kerry Bannigan. Hon berättar om Fashion Impact Fund, en organisation som stöttar unga kvinnor i modeindustrin, framförallt med utbildning och stöd för bättre arbetsvillkor. Programmet leds av Jenny Lantz, docent i företagsekonomi med inriktning på kulturekonomi vid Handelshögskolan i Stockholm. Bakom podden står också forskaren Tina Sendlhofer, SEI — Stockholm Environment Institute, och modejournalisten Sofia Hedström de Leo. Tack för att du lyssnar! Följ oss gärna på Instagram.

While FreshEd is away, we are going to replay some of our favourite episodes about education in a digital society. -- Children are inundated with technology. Video games, smartphones, and computers are common in the lives of today's digital generation. With school closures from the covid-19 pandemic, learning from home only added to the screen time overload for many children. How do children and young people use and are affected by technological transformations in their everyday lives? How are schools and education systems adapting to these changes? And what might we learn from the coronavirus when it comes to technology and education? With me is Halla Holmarsdottir a Professor in the Faculty of Education and International Studies at the Oslo Metropolitan University in Norway. She is currently the coordinator of a large-scale European Research project funded by Horizon 2020 (grant agreement No 870548) entitled The Impact of Technological Transformations on the Digital Generation (DigiGen). The DigiGen project focuses on the impact of digital technology on the lives of children and young people primarily in Europe. freshedpodcast.com/Holmarsdottir/ -- Get in touch!

Is our car-centric society ready to ditch automobiles for bicycles?It is already happening in a number of cities, and it may be part of the solution to the climate crisis. This is the case made by Daniel Piatkowski in his new book, Bicycle City: Riding the Bike Boom to a Brighter Future. Piatkowski, a former New York City bike messenger, is now a professor of land use and transportation planning at Oslo Metropolitan University in Norway.Piatkowski says that e-bikes have revolutionized the way we think about bicycles. Increasing numbers of people commute on e-bikes, especially when cities provide incentives to reduce auto congestion. Cargo e-bikes are even replacing SUVs and delivery vehicles.Piatkowski argues that what was once viewed as recreation is now the future of transportation.“The bicycle is a bridge to help reduce that immediate reliance on a car every day,” asserted Piatkowksi. “Making places more bike friendly makes them more people friendly.It makes them more transport friendly. “I look at bikes as the necessary first step, but certainly not the last step in that transition that we need to get away from not only driving our cars all the time, but building cities that have to accommodate cars,” Piatkowksi said.Bikes “are the starting point to …revolutionary changes in how our cities can function.”

How do affective sites such as memorials and statues produce political visions, emotions, and opportunities? And how are they used strategically to further particular political projects? In this episode, we discuss these questions with Rahul Ranjan with specific reference to his new book The Political Life of Memory: Birsa Munda in Contemporary India (Cambridge UP, 2023). The book engages these issues by examining representations of Birsa Munda's political life and the making of anticolonialism in contemporary Jharkhand. By highlighting contrasting features of political imaginations deployed in developing memorial landscapes, Ranjan shows how both the state and Adivasi use memory as a political tool to lay claims to the past of the Birsa Movement. Rahul Ranjan is an interdisciplinary scholar with a key interest in environmental anthropology and humanities, political ecology and social justice. He is currently a Postdoctoral Research Fellow at the Oslo Metropolitan University, Norway. Kenneth Bo Nielsen is an Associate Professor at the Department of Social Anthropology at the University of Oslo and one of the leaders of the Norwegian Network for Asian Studies.

As we aim toward a 1.5 degree future, we need to fundamentally shift the way we lead our cities. One substantial change is that cities need to look to a new form of governance - one that places climate action at its heart. A critical tool for cities is a climate budget: a governance system that offers a way for cities to turn climate commitments into funded and measurable actions across their government. C40 recently worked with a group of international cities to adapt climate budgeting to their own unique urban and social contexts, and this in turn will support other cities who can more easily adopt the policy now that they can learn from these proven examples.Featured guests:Catrin Robertsen is Head of Climate Budgeting at C40, a new programme supporting cities to improve their governance systems to operationalize and deliver climate targets. Before joining C40, Catrin worked for the Climate Agency for the City of Oslo as the lead technical advisor on Oslo's climate budget. Prior experiences include national emissions inventories and impact assessments at the Norwegian Environment Agency. Catrin holds a Bachelor's degree in Economics from the Norwegian University of Science and Technology and a Master's degree in Economics, specializing in development and natural resource economics, from the Norwegian University of Life Sciences.Trond Vedeld currently works at the Norwegian Institute for Urban and Regional Research (NIBR) at Oslo Metropolitan University as a research professor in urban and international studies. Trond does research in Political Economy, Public Administration and Urban Politics, Climate Governance, and Climate services and has published extensively on issues of political economy, public administration and urban politics, climate governance, and collaborative governance/co-creation in European and African cities.Links for this episode:C40 Knowledge Hub's Landing Page for all things climate-budget related“Why New York and London are betting on climate budgets” by C40 Chair, Mayor Sadiq Khan of London and Mayor Eric Adams of New York CityNorwegian Institute for Urban and Regional Research"How to lead collaborative governance for climate transformation: A guide for city leaders and decision makers", by Hege Hofstad and Trond Vedeld, Journal of City Climate Policy and Economy"Oslo is Demonstrating Ambitious Leadership through its Climate Budget" by Governing Mayor Raymond Johansen, Journal of City Climate Policy and EconomyImage credit: © Rosanna Wan - C40If you want to learn more about the Journal of City Climate Policy and Economy, please visit our website: https://jccpe.utpjournals.press/Cities 1.5 is a podcast by University of Toronto Press and is produced in association with the Journal of City Climate Policy and Economy.

Meaning has been a core concept for physical educators for a very long time, and often explored through a phenomenological perspective. Why is phenomenology central for understanding meaningful movement and physical education as an educational subject rather than mere physical activity? Are habits more than automated actions and important for meaning? These and other interesting questions are tackled today with Øyvind Standal, a Professor at the Faculty of Education and International Studies at Oslo Metropolitan University, Norway. Prof. Standal has published extensively on physical education, especially in relation to the philosophy of physical education and phenomenology, embodiment, skills and habits. He is the author of the book Phenomenology and Pedagogy in Physical Education (Routledge, 2015).

SINOPSEEstará o Estado Social a definhar?Como reagiu o nosso Estado Social à crise financeira de 2010?E à pandemia? Como responderam o nosso e o dos outros?Qual das duas crises ‘infectou' mais o Estado Social português?Ana Markl deu o pontapé de saída com a possível necessidade de repensar o Estado Social. Amílcar Moreira respondeu com todas as letras, e depois ambos exploraram as duas crises que nos assolaram no espaço de 10 anos. Como corolário compreenderá que se duas crises nunca são exactamente iguais, elas são ainda menos iguais no que toca ao modo como podem afectar o Estado Social, ou seja, ‘infectar-nos' a todos. REFERÊNCIAS E LINKS ÚTEIS:LIVROS, CAPÍTULOS & ARTIGOS:R.

"I think every encounter with the patient is a potential re-humanizing experience, also for me as a therapist. Because when we are slowly experiencing this kind of positive emotion, especially when it comes to turning points, where the patient  realizes that it is possible to trust another human being, that is a really remarkable experience with these patients who have all reasons to not believe that it is possible to trust other people - who have been disappointed, failed and maltreated so many times. So that is a re-humanizing experience that happens between the therapist and the patient -  this is the best way to describe the process of a positive outcome of this type of psychoanalytic therapy because they have been dehumanized in so many ways and to such a degree, that for some of them it is a wonder to have normal feeling left."    Episode Description: We begin by appreciating Sverre's work on the torture-induced impingements on intrapsychic meaning-making. We also learn about the role of community and culture in supporting renewed meaning-making - a vital aspect of rehuminazation. We consider the case of Hassan and come to understand the impact on him of the horrific abuses he suffered and what it means to the analyst who comes to hear about and 'experience' such depths of depravity. We discuss survivor guilt, mourning, and disillusionment. Sverre shares with us aspects of his own childhood that have contributed to his interest in this work. We conclude with learning about the Norwegian Psychoanalytic Society and its involvement in assisting colleagues in Ukraine.   Our Guest: Sverre Varvin, MD, Dr. Philos is a training analyst at the Norwegian Psychoanalytical Society. He is a professor emeritus at Oslo Metropolitan University. He has had several positions in IPA. Currently, he is chair of the IPA China Committee and a member of the refugee subcommittee of the Humanitarian Field committee. He has been working with traumatized refugees for more than 30 years: clinically, with research, and in the humanitarian field. He has done human rights work as chair of the Norwegian Medical Association's committee on human rights in the Balkans (former Yugoslavia), Turkey, and China. He has tried to understand the impact of atrocities on individuals and groups and has been specially occupied with dehumanization and re-humanization.   Dr. Varvin will be a keynote speaker at the IPA Congress in Cartegena, Colombia in July 2023.   The Congress website is www.ipa.world/cartagena   Recommended Readings: JOHANSEN, J. & VARVIN, S. 2019.

What happens to jobs when technology changes? How do new technologies change the ways people experience and think about work? Economic historian Ben Schneider, Postdoctoral Fellow at the Work Research Institute at Oslo Metropolitan University, explores these questions and more in his research on technology and work. Taking textile manufacturing and transportation as his case studies, Dr. Schneider developed a novel matrix for analyzing changes in work over time as measured not only quantitatively by wages and hours, but also qualitatively by security, satisfaction, safety, and similar social metrics. This framework allows him to recover and analyze changes in work regimes brought about or otherwise influenced by changes in technology. Dr. Schneider used multiple Hagley Library collections to uncover his story, including materials from our world-class archive of United States railroad companies, like the Pennsylvania Rail Road, the Reading Rail Road, and others. Reading this archive through his framework, Schneider show how the adoption of macro-technologies, like the railroad itself, and micro-technologies, like steel rails within the railroad, ramified through the work lives of millions of people. To conduct this research, Schneider received support from the Center for the History of Business, Technology, & Society at the Hagley Museum & Library.

Welcome to another episode of The Words Matter Podcast.We have reached the final few episodes of the clinical reasoning series; and I hope you have enjoyed the journey up to this point. This series and the podcast more broadly is made possible by all the Patreon support, and ever a huge thank you for those supporting the show and to those listening and sharing the podcast with your friends, colleagues and students. On this episode I'm speaking with Dr Elena Rocca and Dr Saúl Pérez-González about how evidence of biological mechanisms can support our clinical reasoning.Elena is an associate professor at Oslo Metropolitan University, and specializes in issues related to responsible knowledge-based decision-making with focus on risk and safety of medicines, both from a practical, methodological and philosophical perspective. Her work is interdisciplinary between scientific evidence, practice, policy and philosophy. Elena's research includes causality assessment in drug safety, clinical reasoning, analysis of expert disagreement. Elena is part of The CauseHealth team and we spoke several times on the CauseHealth Series on probability, medical uniqueness, causal dispensationalism and philosophy for practice.Saúl is a Post-doctoral research fellow at the Center for Logic, Language, and Cognition in the Department of Philosophy and Educational Sciences at the University of Turin. Italy. He has a background in philosophy, with a PhD in Philosophy and MA in Contemporary Philosophical Thought. He is currently Working on/Member of the PRIN research project “From Models to Decisions” Funded by the Italian Ministry of University and Research.Saúl has held Visiting researcher positions at Centre for Humanities Engaging Science and Society - Durham University the Centre for Philosophy of Social Science - University of Helsinki.In this episode we talk around a paper that Saul and Elena wrote together titled 'Evidence of Biological Mechanisms and Health Predictions: An Insight into Clinical Reasoning' published in the journal Perspectives in Biology and Medicine.So on this episode we speak about:  What is meant by the term ‘mechanisms' and what constitutes of them. How evidence of mechanisms is typically portrayed and valued in the epistemological and methodological hierarchies of evidence-based medicine. How evidence of mechanisms can be useful to our clinical reasoning by helping us make predictions around safety and efficacy of treatment interventions for individual patients. The potential the dangers of relying on mechanistic knowledge in replacement of knowledge about effectiveness (such as knowledge generated from clinical trial). How evidence of mechanisms can take any form of study design; from lab-based animal studies to understand biological mechanisms at play to qualitative studies to understand the mechanisms involved in the processes of the social world. How evidence of mechanisms is generally more decisive for discarding inadequate interventions than for identifying suitable ones. This was yet another enlightening conversation and quite distinct from the previous episodes on the series. As such, it adds to rounding and deepening the view of clinical reasoning that this series seeks to offer.Find Elena and Saúl on Twitter @ElenaRoccaPD@SaulPerGonSupport the podcast and contribute via Patreon hereIf you liked the podcast, you'll love The Words Matter online course and mentoring to develop your clinical expertise  - ideal for all MSK therapists.Follow Words Matter on:Instagram @Wordsmatter_education @TheWordsMatterPodcastTwitter @WordsClinicalFacebook Words Matter - Improving Clinical Communication★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★

This episode extends conversations about climate change coverage to how journalists balance reporting on climate change's synergistic effects – the related and consequential results of a changing climate. This is the first of two episodes produced with Juliet Pinto from the Donald P. Bellisario College of Communications at Pennsylvania State University in the U.S. about a double special issue of Journalism Practice with 16 articles from across the globe focusing on the question above – just how do you cover the synergistic effects of climate change? Juliet is also co-editor of the book Climate Change, Media & Culture: Critical Issues in Global Environmental Communication, as well as News Media Coverage of Environmental Challenges in Latin America & The Caribbean: Mediating Demand, Degradation, and Development. Guests include Waqas Ejaz at the National University of Sciences and Technology in Islamabad, Pakistan, about complications of mis- and dis-information around climate change there, Anne Hege Simonsen at the Department of Journalism and Media Studies at Oslo Metropolitan University in Norway who talks about visual meanings and contradictions in news images of land-based wind turbines, and BBC News Lab's David Caswell who discusses the potential of structured journalism in better covering climate news. This special issue and podcast episode is a result of a 2020 Lancaster University Data Science Institute Workshop titled UK Underwater.

Artificial intelligence, “robot journalism,” augmented and virtual realities. Journalism is always looking for the “next thing” in innovation to build audiences, trust, and sustainable futures. A lot of the innovation comes in the form of technology, but there are also adaptations that only humans can make. So, what's the future for humans in journalism?Samuel Danzon-Chambaud is a researcher with Dublin City University's Institute for Future Media and Journalism in Ireland and is co-author of “Changing or reinforcing the ‘rules of the game.' He's here to talk about a model he's developing to understand journalists' take on new technologies. Oscar Westlund is a Professor in the Department of Journalism and Media Studies at Oslo Metropolitan University and is co-author of “Critical moments of coordination in newswork,” where he takes a look at the behind-the-scenes of newswork for Online Live Broadcasts to show the organizational needs and approaches of journalists working with new media.And, Isabel MacDonald is an independent journalist and researcher who is author of “Picturing Haitian earthquake survivors,” where she explores the technologies of paper and pencil in her graphic depictions of human suffering and resilience.   Text Featured in this Episode:Macdonald, I.

In Norwegian educational discourse, 'shallow' and 'deep' learning are buzzwords that refer to two types of learning - memorizing facts vs making connections to previous knowledge structures and different contexts. While these forms of learning have been conceptualised in 'hard' school subjects, what could they look like in physical education? Can we make a link from 'deep' and 'shallow' learning to 'deep' and 'shallow' meaning in PE? These and other interesting questions - such as, should sport and PE always aim to be fun? - are tackled in this second part of our conversation with Øyvind Standal, a Professor at the Faculty of Education and International Studies at Oslo Metropolitan University, Norway. Prof. Standal has published extensively on physical education, especially in relation to the philosophy of physical education and phenomenology, embodiment, skills and habits. He is the author of the book Phenomenology and Pedagogy in Physical Education (Routledge, 2015). We are partly building on Part 1 of our conversation, so it is a good idea to start with that: https://paresearcher.podbean.com/e/standal/ 

A century ago a deadly flu virus swept the planet, uniting the world in a disaster on a par with World War One.Over 50 million people died. Social distancing was put in place but drugs were ineffective, there was no vaccine, and in many places medicine could not cope. The world recovered but was never the same again. What can the last great pandemic teach us about how to combat Covid-19 today? Three world experts join Bridget Kendall: Laura Spinney, science journalist and author of Pale Rider: The Spanish Flu of 1918 and How it Changed the World;.

Anna Kirah is an internationally respected design anthropologist and psychologist known for pioneering the people-centric approach to innovation and change management. Her passions are co-creation and working with “transdisciplinary” teams. Anna believes that creating meaningful, relevant, desirable and sustainable products, services and organizational changes happen only by understanding people's motivations and aspirations and utilizing this knowledge to solve challenges together with the people we serve. Anna returned to Norway in 2010 where she has her own consultancy, teaches at the Oslo Metropolitan University and until recently was the Managing Director of Design without Borders (she still maintains her board status for DwB). She is also a Specialist in the Design Consultancy: Halogen situated in Oslo, Norway. We talk to Anna about her career path from anthropology to psychology to design; about transdisciplinarity, what each of these disciplines can give each other and the potential they have to create together; how she transitioned to design, reclaimed the title of anthropologist. We talk about her experience entering the corporate sector with Boeing as a psychologist and exiting as a design anthropologist; what businesses appreciate in anthropology and why it's important to have a social scientist on board. Lastly, she shares 3 techniques she teaches designers to practice empathy and active listening in order to break their own assumptions. These techniques come from different disciplines including psychology and the role of the clinician but somewhere along the way she was introduced to Colombo as a way to describe the “Help me understand…” technique.
