This episode of Forecasting Impact features Professor Lauren B. Davis discussing her research on applying stochastic modeling and forecasting to food bank operations. Lauren shares how she began forecasting with a local food bank, which led her to focus on forecasting the highly uncertain supply of food donations. She details the food banks' donation sourcing process, the management of their supply chains, and the application of models like exponential smoothing, support vector regression, and ensemble methods to predict donation volumes.Professor Davis addresses challenges in forecasting at various aggregation levels (network vs. location-specific), using optimization models for equitable allocation of limited supply, and the significance of storage and agency capacity limits. She emphasizes the importance of equity as an objective, the complexity of modeling true demand, and the crucial role of visual analytics and co-design with food bank partners. The episode underscores the practical impact of forecasting in humanitarian supply chains and the necessity of linking models with operational decisions.
We hear a lot of of debate around sex and sexuality from our political leaders these days. Proposed legislation in areas like reproductive rights and education are constantly in the news. And while that debate may seem intense today, it isn’t new. Americans have long argued over which kinds of sex are, and aren’t “acceptable.” You need to understand the past to understand the present, as the saying goes. And according to historian Rebecca L. Davis, there are a lot of misconceptions about the past. This hour, we return to our conversation about her new book Fierce Desires: A New History of Sex and Sexuality in America. She’ll explain the surprising ways Americans have understood intimate relations and even share a touching story that took place right here in Connecticut. GUEST: Rebecca L. Davis: Miller Family Endowed Early Career Professor of History at the University of Delaware and Professor of Women and Gender Studies. Her latest book is Fierce Desires: A New History of Sex and Sexuality in America. You can listen to the interview with Jason Stanley that Professor Davis mentioned in this episode on our website.

Send us a textThis podcast originally ran on August 1, 2024You may have been hearing a lot about testosterone lately – what it is, why we need it, why we can't get it… I've gone to Melbourne, Australia to ask an expert in women's hormones across our lifespan, and one of the few people who has studied testosterone in-depth.Professor Susan Davis is a clinician researcher, consulting endocrinologist and head of the Monash University Women's Health Research Program in Melbourne.She is going to help us to tackle the current confusion – and hype – over testosterone, armed with what she knows best: the evidence. We talk about it all: the evidence, benefits, and potential misconceptions about testosterone supplementation for women, especially during menopause and perimenopause; the difficulty in measuring testosterone accurately, the placebo effect, risks and benefits of different hormone therapies, including testosterone pellets and creams, and the critical importance of credible sources of information. Professor Davis also highlights her extensive research, including studies on the cardiovascular effects of low testosterone and the physiological impacts on women's health.Highlights:03:38 Testosterone's role in a women's hormone structure06:35 Challenges in measuring testosterone19:50 Testosterone and cardiovascular health30:02 The misleading promises of testosterone therapy32:55 The controversy surrounding pellets36:17 Breast cancer risks and hormone therapy40:15 Testosterone for menopausal symptoms42:12 The role of DHEA in hormone therapy44:49 The impact of birth control pills46:26 Navigating hormone therapy and misinformation50:50 Current research and future directions53:33 The Influence of social media on health information56:10 Conclusion and credible resourcesJoin the Hotflash inc perimenoposse: Web: hotflashinc.comNewsletter: Hotflash inc. on SubstackTikTok: @hotflashincInstagram: @hotflashincX: @hotflashinc Episode website: Hotflashinc Listen on: Apple Podcasts | Spotify | Google Podcasts | YouTube | Substack See hotflashinc.com/privacy-policy for privacy information
Part 2 - Neville is joined by UVI Professor and Environmentalist Olasse Davis as the St. Croix Hiking Association's hike from Canaan Ridge to Mount Eagle led by Professor Davis happens on Sunday, March 9 beginning at 7 a.m.
In this episode, I sit down with Professor Susan Davis, a world-renowned endocrinologist and women's health researcher with over 40 years of experience. She is Head of the Monash University Women's Health Research Program and holds a Level 3 NHMRC Investigator Grant. Susan is a Consultant Endocrinologist and Head of the Women's Endocrine Clinic, Alfred Hospital Melbourne and a consultant at Cabrini Medical Centre. She is a Fellow and Council Member of the Australian Academy of Health and Medical Sciences.Susan's research spans basic science to clinical trials and has been pivotal in our understanding of sex hormones in women in multiple non-reproductive target tissues including the brain (cognition, mood, sexual function), cardiovascular system (lipids, vascular function and coagulation) and other tissues (fat, muscle, joint cartilage and bone).Susan was one of five founders of Jean Hailes for Women, is a past President of the Australasian Menopause Society and International Menopause Society. She has 435+ peer-reviewed publications and has received numerous prestigious research awards.In 2022 she was also awarded the Medal of the Royal Australasian College of Physicians.From questioning conventional wisdom about hormone therapy to conducting groundbreaking research that's changed how we understand menopause, Professor Davis brings clarity to a topic often clouded by misinformation and marketing hype.Key TakeawaysMenopause reality checkContrary to popular belief, about 70% of women don't experience severe menopausal symptoms. Those who do have significant symptoms typically improve within the first few years after menopause. This knowledge can help women approach this transition with less anxiety and better preparation. Hormone therapy truthThe decision to use hormone therapy should be primarily symptom-driven. It's proven effective for managing classic menopausal symptoms (hot flashes, night sweats, sleep issues, mood changes) and preventing bone loss. Still, it's not a universal requirement or an anti-ageing solution. Professor Davis emphasises that there's no one-size-fits-all approach.Beyond hormonesMany symptoms attributed to menopause might have underlying causes. Key tests include iron levels (especially if fatigueD), thyroid function, and zinc levels. This highlights the importance of comprehensive health screening during midlife.Navigating informationWith the rise of menopause-related content on social media, it's crucial to fact-check information against reliable sources. Professor Davis recommends consulting websites of professionsal organisations for evidence-based information.As you navigate your midlife journey, remember that this phase of life deserves thoughtful attention and informed care. While hormone therapy can be transformative for those who need it, creating a healthy lifestyle foundation through regular exercise, stress management, and proper nutrition remains crucial. Your midlife journey is unique - trust your experience while staying informed through credible sources.Useful Resources:Professor Susan Davis on Instagram https://www.instagram.com/professorsusandavis/Women's Health Research Programme https://www.monash.edu/medicine/sphpm/units/womenshealth?fbclid=PAZXh0bgNhZW0CMTEAAabp7h5dTpA0i_LIMZFKCdIwa8gTZSpDFz1tUvoh3tVX7sZgWbLclN8PMw0_aem_4k6tSLbKA0OWwdzeTpTmPg Australasian Menopause Society (for fact sheets) https://www.menopause.org.au/ International Menopause Society https://www.imsociety.org/?v=8bcc25c96aa5IMS educational videos and Podcast Library https://www.imsociety.org/education/videos/?v=8bcc25c96aa5#interviews Jean Hailes for Women's Health (for comprehensive women's health information) https://www.jeanhailes.org.au/ You can also find me on Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/joclarkcoaching/ and LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/joclarkcoaching/Here's to redefining midlife and making our next half of life even better than the first.
First Nations peoples were Australia’s original diplomats and traders. In recent years, the Australian government has sought to embed First Nations perspectives, experiences and interests into Australia’s foreign policy. Yet after the loss in the referendum to create a Voice to Parliament, there are questions about how to further these efforts. In this episode of Conversations, Lowy Institute First Nations Fellow Laura Salt speaks with Professor Megan Davis about the way forward for Australia’s First Nations foreign policy. Professor Davis is a constitutional law expert, international human rights lawyer, and one of the architects of the Uluru Statement from the Heart.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Professor Davis discusses the role of sex hormone testosterone in women and the misconceptions surrounding hormone replacement therapy (HRT). She emphasises the importance of finding the right balance of hormones and dispels myths about testosterone levels changing at menopause. She also highlights the limitations of measuring testosterone accurately and the risks associated with compounded hormone therapy. We also discuss the need for evidence-based research and the importance of informed decision-making when it comes to menopausal health. Key Takeaways Testosterone is important for women, but it should be in the right balance. Compounded hormone therapy is unregulated and may not be the safe or effective option. The risk of breast cancer with hormone replacement therapy is small and comparable to everyday risks.Hormone therapy can be beneficial for menopausal symptoms, bone protection, and low libido. Vaginal oestrogen can help with vaginal dryness and urinary symptoms.

"What happened in Hong Kong is not an anomaly but a warning" - Hong Kong Human Rights defender Chow Hang Tung, speech written from prison upon receiving a human rights award. In our interview today, I spoke with Professor Michael C. Davis, author of Freedom Undone: The Assault on Liberal Values and Institutions in Hong Kong (AAS and Columbia UP, 2024). In his latest book, he writes about how one of the world's most free-wheeling cities has transitioned from a vibrant global center of culture and finance into an illiberal regime. We spoke about the progressive shifts towards authoritarian governance in Hong Kong's post-colonial period, leading up to the introduction of the National Security Law of 2020, and the rapid erosion of human rights and liberal freedoms since. Professor Davis explained the significance of Hong Kong's new domestic National Security Law, introduced last week, and its implications for the erosion of global democratic institutions globally. Professor Michael C. Davis is a former long-time professor at the University of Hong Kong and prior to that at the Chinese University of Hong Kong, where he taught course on human rights and constitutional development. He is currently a Global Fellow at the Woodrow Wilson International Centre for Scholars, a Senior Research Associate at the Weatherhead East Asia Institute at Columbia University, and a Professor of Law and International Affairs at O.P. Jindal Global University in India. He also enjoys research affiliations at New York University and the University of Notre Dame.

Hello Interactors,Trick-or-treat! It's that time of year for Americans, and a growing population worldwide, to dawn a favorite costume and consume copious amounts of candy. It's also a time for kids to parade for treats and for adults to decorate with ghoulish goblins, ghosts, and other frightful festoons. And excuse to cosplay without criticism.Americans will spend an ungodly amount of money on this conspicuous occasion. Like most holidays in America, it's a chance to fire up the capitalist contraption and watch money burn like a Halloween bonfire. But why? How did this holiday emerge and what does it all really mean?Let's find out.CANDY, COSTUMES, AND CONTESTATIONSI once handed out toothpaste to trick-or-treaters at Halloween. Trick your teeth. My wife's dad was a dentist and we ended up with a box of toothpaste samples. Realizing we forgot to buy candy to hand out at Halloween, we poured the box of samples into a bowl. Kids loved it, and so did their teeth.Some parents giggled, many groaned, and some thought it was downright mean. Realizing kids will happily take just about anything from the bowl, some years we've even opted for pencils, erasers, and stickers. We're so mean.But let's face it, Halloween, in its modern form, is mostly about candy and costumes. The National Retail Federation (NRF) estimates 68% of Americans will spend a total of $3.6 billion on candy handouts this Halloween. That's up from $3.1 billion last year. Burp.Nearly three quarters of the country are expected to buy decorations to the tune of $3.9 billion dollars. The percentage of folks intent on buying costumes have hit an all-time NRF high of 69%, up from 67% last year, amounting to $4.1 billion dollars. All told, they project the average American Halloweener will spend around $108 this year. It's all been climbing since Covid. Either we need sugar to sooth each other, or costumes to excuse each other. Or both.Their data suggests those aged 25–44 are the most eager to spend, claiming social media inspires early costume and decoration ideas and decisions. Adult spending on themselves and their pets dwarfs spending on kid costumes accounting for nearly three of the four billion dollars in total spend…and climbing. Adult spending increased a whopping 18% from a year ago.The NRF says to expect a lot of Spiderman and princess costumes on kids, pets as pumpkins, and a variety of adult witches, ghosts, and vampires. And Barbie. Lots of Barbie. It seems trendy pop culture is challenging the traditional spooky gothic culture Hallows Eve is known for. Though there are some interpretations of history that suggest Halloween really was more of a moment of merriment among the masses than some pagan spiritual spook fest.A quick search on the history of Halloween and you'll quickly learn it comes from Ireland via a Celtic festival called Samhein (pronounced “sow-win”). Irish immigrants then brought it to America in the 1800s and here we are. Searching on Samhein will reveal text that says it stems from a spiritual festival by pagans — a religious celebration with imagery of mysticism and the occult where people on earth attempt connections with the dead through fire and rituals. It was believed to be the interaction of pagan people and place seeking interactions with people of another time and place. But a more truthful approximation of historical fact reveals the story of Samhein may be a victim of what one historian calls a combination of “fakelore and folklore”. Professor Robert Davis studies religious and cultural education at the University of Glasgow as it relates to people, place, and social change. He writes that much of Irish history stems from the work of a seventeen-century historian named Geoffrey Keating. Davis joins a chorus of critics who argue Keating's work, while beautifully written, is mostly a form of exaggerated romantic nationalism.Keating wrote during a time when Irish history and culture were under threat from English influence and rule. Critics believe his narratives therefore assert a particularly noble Irish identity and history, which led him to possibly embellish or reinterpret certain historical events or figures. Keating was also a Catholic priest, which influenced his historical interpretations. Including the notion that these ancient Irish clans and respective nobility were Catholic.His intertwining of religious and secular perspectives is seen as a reflection of Keating's worldview. But it doesn't always live up to academic scrutiny expected from histography. But because Keating was also a poet and had a compelling command of the Irish language, his writing was accessible and enjoyable. This further endeared him to readers while also allowing his work to endure. His influence is present today despite his critics, as evidence by the dominant narrative surrounding Sanhein found in history books and online.Keating's recalling of this autumnal event is unique in its reference to mythological religiosity by pagans of the past. There are legal and agricultural Irish texts and calendars that indeed show there was a festival on or around November 1, just no mention of any worship for the dead, paranormal occurrences from the ‘underworld', or the observance of a celebratory ‘Eve' stemming from some form of ancient pre-Christian calendar. These pagan accounts are commonly associated with Sanhein and thus Halloween and appear to all lead to Keating himself. Meanwhile, his interpretation has since branched into every account of history paraded as historical fact.Historical records from neighboring regions like Wales and Scotland also show no evidence of Halloween-like celebrations occurring, apart from those areas populated by Irish immigrants! But like in Ireland, there were indeed agrarian celebrations commemorating the end of the harvest season. And those included autumnal festivities we may recognize today as Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas, and even New Year.SONGS, SPIRITS, AND THE SOUL OF TRICK-OR-TREATINGKeating wasn't alone in weaving pagan lore into Christian mythology and dogma. He probably picked up from the Christian bible. The Roman Catholic Church, especially in its earliest centuries, borrowed heavily from the imagery and ceremony of pagan folklore and fakelore to lure non-Christians into their faith. This summer our family went to see the Swedish rock band, Ghost, who's leader, Tobias Forge, leverages this history, and its imagery, on stage and in costume to call attention to this appropriation. It's a presentation, I might add, fit for Broadway.Indeed, Pope Gregory III of the Roman Catholic Church, established All Saints Days as November 1st in the 8th Century and eventually made its way to the British Isles. Also known as All Hallows Day. The word “Hallow” stems from the Old English word “hālig” which means “holy”. The celebration before All Hallows Days, on October 31st, or on the “evening” or “even” — as commonly shortened in Old English, which could also be written and pronounced as ‘e'en' — became known as Halloween.Halloween most likely originates from the rotation of the earth and the shift in seasons. Fall has always been a time of collecting what food you can, sharing any abundance with less fortunate community members, and mourning the loss of organic life that relies on photosynthesis. A requirement for keeping animals like us alive. It's a time to take stock, hunker down, and hope you survive the impending harsh winter.It was also a convenient time to take spoiled and fermented fruits to make wine and be merry. Fields and piles of debris were set ablaze in preparation for next season. Migrant field workers, with no rows to plough or crops to pick, went door to door in search of food, clothing, work, or compassion. It's not hard to see how these rituals stemming from the rhythm of life could be woven into religious tales of death, renewal, and purifying fire — but also compassion and charity. Professor Davis believes the best image of the history of Halloween can be resurrected by the lyrics of the songs sung in the British Isles on Halloween, Hallows Day, and even a third day of celebration less known today, All Souls Day. These songs were sung at gatherings, but also by beggars going door-to-door seeking food or gifts. It's a tradition known as “souling”, but today many of us would recognize it as either trick or tricking, thanksgiving feast, or caroling. All three of which, are born — one way or other — out of the loss of sun in the northern hemisphere brought on by a tilting earth.Here's one song Professor Davis offers up as representative of the spirit of Halloween.A soul, a soul, a soul cakePlease, good missus, a soul cakeAn apple, a pear, a plum or a cherryAny good thing to make us all merryOne for Peter, two for PaulThree of Him who made us allGod Bless the master of this house, the mistress alsoAnd all the little children who around your table growLikewise your men and maidens, your cattle and your storeAnd all that dwells within your gatesWe wish you ten times moreThe lanes are very dirty and my shoes are very thinI've got a little pocket I can put a penny inIf you haven't got a penny, a half penny will doIf you haven't got a half penny, then God bless you.This song reveals the fusion of the wants and needs that come with scarcity and misfortune blended with the hope and charity promised by various forms of Christianity. Professor Davis puts it best, Halloween is “Steeped in the peculiar religious imagery of Halloween, with its refining fires, its muffled imploring voices and its traffic with the supernatural.” Together they attempt to bridge “the past, the present and the future into a momentarily inspiring alignment around the axis of hope.”I'm reminded that where I grew up in Iowa, home to many an Irish immigrant — including one of my Grandparents — we had to tell a joke before we were given candy while out trick-or-treating. I wonder if this derives from ‘souling'? My wife and I insist on jokes before little goblins and witches are allowed to dip into the candy bowl. How mean. Maybe this year, we'll demand a song. Spiderman has a good soundtrack, and so does Barbie. But a song from Ghost might be most appropriate. “Hunter's Moon” anyone? The B-side is “Halloween Kills”. This is a public episode.

Joseph E. Davis is Research Professor of Sociology and Director of the Picturing the Human Project of the Institute for Advanced Studies in Culture at the University of Virginia. Professor Davis' research explores the intersecting questions of self, morality, and cultural change. In studies of medicine, psychiatry, work, AI, aging, social movements, and other fields, he has examined trauma psychology, narratives of suffering, the rise of biological explanations of mental life, medicalization, psychoactive drug use, and our cultural dreams of technological mastery. He is the author or editor of several books, including, most recently, Chemically Imbalanced: Everyday Suffering, Medication, and Our Troubled Quest for Self-Mastery (2020), The Evening of Life: The Challenges of Aging and Dying Well (2020), and To Fix or to Heal: Patient Care, Public Health, and the Limits of Biomedicine. His articles have appeared in many journals, peer-reviewed and popular. He is a former editor of The Hedgehog Review and writes a Psychology Today blog called “Our New Discontents: Reflections on Mental Health and Social Ideals.” Currently, he is at work co-editing a special issue of Culture, Medicine, and Psychiatry on “Being Human in the Age of the Brain: Models of Mind and their Social Effects,” as well as two book projects, “The Troubles of Youth,” and an “Essay on Human Misunderstanding.” In this episode, Dr. Davis and I discuss the role of medications in mental health from a sociological context, whether groupings such as diagnoses limit us or help us as a society, and how mental health treatment has evolved over the years in the way we understand it.

Higher Ed Now producer Doug Sprei engages two academic leaders at Denison University: Adam Weinberg, the university's President, and Adam Davis, Professor of History and Director of the Lisska Center for Intellectual Engagement. Together they conceived a groundbreaking freshman orientation initiative - "Minds Wide Open" - which gave 700 incoming Denison students an immersive experience of civil discourse through Braver Angels campus debates. President Weinberg and Professor Davis elaborate on their vision and thinking behind this innovative program, which holds promise as an inspiring model for freshman orientation efforts around the nation.
A political communications expert says Britain's leadership woes might not be over, despite the resignation of Prime Minister Boris Johnson. Johnson resigned last week after a mass exodus of more than 50 government ministers and aides who quit following a string of scandals: lockdown parties, expensive renovations promotion of a minister accused of sexual misconduct. But Professor Aeron Davis from Victoria University of Wellington says the conditions which led to his leadership still remain, so there's a chance another Boris-like figure will emerge. Professor Davis spoke to Susie Ferguson.

We also discuss the relevance and implications of the High Court's decision in Mabo. This is a must-listen episode to hear from an expert in this area of the law and on what Australia's constitutional reforms may include. I hope you enjoy this episode with Professor Megan Davis.
“I'm not a racist, but…” In their new book, Racial Resentment in the Political Mind (University of Chicago Press), Goldman School Dean David C. Wilson and Notre Dame Professor of Political Science Darren Davis explore the concept of racial resentment. They argue that while prejudice and racism are fundamentally rooted in American politics, so are non-racial motivations, such as a belief in a “just” world, where people get what they deserve and deserve what they get. This instinct to make judgments about “deservingness” in politics often animates those who believe they are “not racist,” but tend to oppose policies and ideas that advance racial justice, and blame racial-ethnic minorities for their social, political, and economic positions. Join Dean Wilson and Professor Davis in conversation with Assistant Vice Chancellor Dan Mogulof about their research findings and why a nuanced conversation about race is critical to democracy.

Dr. Angela Davis is an activist, philosopher, academic and author.Born in Birmingham, Alabama during World War II - she attended segregated black elementary and middle schools in the 1950s.Davis studied philosophy at Brandis University and did her graduate work in Germany with famed philosopher Herbert Marcuse.She would later say that: “Herbert Marcuse taught me that it was possible to be an academic, an activist, a scholar, and a revolutionary.”After returning to the United States, Angela Davis joined the Communist Party, became involved in the Black Panther Party, the Student Non-Violent Coordinating Committee, second-wave feminism and actively protested the War in Vietnam.In 1969 Angela Davis became an acting Associate Professor of Philosophy at the University of California Los Angeles.That same year the University of California initiated a policy against hiring Communists.[At their September 19, 1969, meeting, the Board of Regents - urged on by then-Governor Ronald Regan, fired Professor Davis from her teaching post because of her political beliefs.”On October 8th 1969, Angela Davis gave a speech at UCLA protesting her dismissal.“Education” she told a cheering student audience, “should not mold the mind according to a prefabricated architectural plan. It should rather liberate the mind. Because the mind has to be liberated in order to perceive the world, to see society, to understand what its advantages are, what its disadvantages are.” In that same speech Angela Davis drew persuasive links between the suppression of academic freedom, academic and social institutional racism, and the rise of totalitarianism in German during the 1930s. Later that month Angela Davis was reinstated by a California Superior Court judge and completed teaching the 1969-70 academic year. With that - let’s listen to Angela Davis talk about academic freedom, institutional racism and the dangers of totalitarianism.Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/words-matter.

What's happening to our civilization? Anthropologist Wade Davis asks this question often. Professor Davis is the B.C. Leadership Chair in Cultures and Ecosystems at Risk, at the Liu Institute for Global Issues at the University of British Columbia—as well as Explorer-in-Residence at the National Geographic Society.Named by National Geographic as one of the Explorers for the Millennium, Professor Davis has been described as “a rare combination of scientist, scholar, poet, and passionate defender of all of life's diversity.” In an era of unprecedented technological advancement, we asked Professor Davis how social media is affecting society at large.For the first time in history, most of humanity—informed by technology—has come together to fight a pandemic. Yet, America, long a bastion of superpower, finds itself laid low by COVID.What role does social media play in the collapse of American society? How do we fix social media?Will the chaos of the U.S. Presidential election, the division amongst citizens, and the disastrous response to COVID be the last dying gasps of “The American Empire”?Can America be saved?Join us as Wade Davis shares his insights!

“Imagine you live in a freewheeling city like New York or London – one of the world's leading financial, educational, and cultural centres. Then imagine that one of the world's most infamous authoritarian regimes makes direct control over your city, introducing secret police, warrant less surveillance and searches, massive repression and the arrest of protestors, and aggressive prosecution… This is what just happened in Hong Kong” --Michael C. Davis It is difficult to understand the pace or extent of the changes in Hong Kong since the protests began in June 2019, however in his latest book, Michael C. Davis breaks down for both the uninitiated and expert alike, the political, legal and informal events that have shaped Hong Kong under China's ever expanding controls. In recent years, Beijing's increasing interference with Hong Kong's autonomy has begun to erode the promised “one country, two systems” model. The tension between one country and two systems came to a head in 2019; the world watched Hong Kong's widespread protests demanding the maintenance of Hong Kong's autonomy, rule of law and basic freedoms. In an attempt to quell the resistance movement, in 2020 Beijing introduced a National Security Law which has had a chilling effect on society. In Making Hong Kong China: The Rollback of Human Rights and the Rule of Law (Columbia UP, 2020), Professor Davis contextualizes these events in Hong Kong's political history, giving the reader unique understandings about the events of 2019 and 2020. Professor Michael C. Davis has taught human rights and constitutional law in Hong Kong for over three decades. Through that time, he has witnessed first-hand the changes from the period before the handover in 1997 under British Colonial Rule, including the events after the Tiananmen crackdown in 1989. He was instrumental in the organisation of the massive 2003 and 2004 protests, and witnessed first-hand the protests of the 2014 Occupy Central movement. He brings his unique insights to this book. Davis is the author of a number of books and his scholarship engages a wide range of issues relating to human rights, the rule of law and constitutionalism in emerging states. He is widely published in both academic circles and also popular news media. In 2014 he was awarded the 2014 Human Rights Press Award for his commentary by the Hong Kong Foreign Correspondents Club. Jane Richards is a doctoral candidate in Human Rights Law at the University of Hong Kong. Her research interests include disability, equality, criminal law and civil disobedience. You can find her on twitter @JaneRichardsHK where she avidly follows the Hong Kong's protests and its politics.

In Making Hong Kong China: The Rollback of Human Rights and the Rule of Law (Columbia UP, 2020), Professor Davis contextualizes these events in Hong Kong’s political history, giving the reader unique understandings about the events of 2019 and 2020. Professor Michael C. Davis has taught human rights and constitutional law in Hong Kong for over three decades. Through that time, he has witnessed first-hand the changes from the period before the handover in 1997 under British Colonial Rule, including the events after the Tiananmen crackdown in 1989. He was instrumental in the organisation of the massive 2003 and 2004 protests, and witnessed first-hand the protests of the 2014 Occupy Central movement. He brings his unique insights to this book. Davis is the author of a number of books and his scholarship engages a wide range of issues relating to human rights, the rule of law and constitutionalism in emerging states. He is widely published in both academic circles and also popular news media. In 2014 he was awarded the 2014 Human Rights Press Award for his commentary by the Hong Kong Foreign Correspondents Club.

“Imagine you live in a freewheeling city like New York or London – one of the world’s leading financial, educational, and cultural centres.

In this episode, Dr Kirsty Short speaks to Professor Tamara Davis. Professor Davis is an astrophysicist who studies the elusive “dark energy” that's accelerating the universe. She's measured time-dilation in distant supernovae, helped make one of the largest maps of the distribution of galaxies in the universe, and is now measuring how supermassive black holes have grown over the last 12 billion years.
Professor Meg Davis talks to HMM correspondent Corinne Carey in this second half of a two-part interview about her new book, The Uncounted: Politics of Data in Global Health and podcast, Right On! The podcast features prominent human rights advocates from across the globe responding to difficult questions about our response to the COVID19 pandemic. In this segment, Professor Davis talks about balancing public health shutdown measures and protecting protest, and specifically about the impact of race on public health.
In this special BONUS episode, DA Boudin, Rachel, and special guest, the iconic Professor Angela Davis, build on the conversation from last episode and focus on the movement that the death of George Floyd has spawned. Professor Davis explains the significance of this moment in the context of the broader Civil Rights Movement. Professor Davis also discusses the role of intersectionality in past and present movements for justice. The group also explores the commonalities between abolition and the current movement to defund police, as well as the limitations but also the possibilities of reforms to the justice system.
Sue Cunningham has a conversation with Professor Glyn Davis, AC, Chief Executive Officer of the Paul Ramsay Foundation, Australia’s largest philanthropic foundation. Its ambition is unambiguous: To break cycles of disadvantage in Australia. He began his role at the Foundation in early 2019. Prior to this role, Professor Davis served as vice-chancellor of the University of Melbourne from 2005 through 2018. Their conversation explores the excitement of leading a foundation with such an important mission, and how relationships with their funding partners help accomplish their goals. They discuss the threefold crisis Australia has encountered over the last year (a prolonged drought, the subsequent bush fires, and COVID-19), and how the foundation is working with its partners to move them through these crises and support them in achieving their own strategic work. They also discuss the differences in leading an institution of the scale of the University of Melbourne vs the intimacy of leading a foundation with a much smaller team, and the benefits that creates for the CEO to dig deeper into the execution of the mission. Hear his perspective on relationships with universities and other funding partners. He shares leadership advice and interesting insights about being in a two-vice-chancellor marriage, perhaps one of the only examples of such an interesting academic couple. Finally, learn about how this essential foundation confirmed its purpose even though its benefactor left no instructions for implementing his wishes.
The Politics of Listening is a series of four podcasts from the Media Futures Hub inspired by the recent ‘turn to listening’ in media studies, cultural studies and political theory. The series was recorded at The Politics of Listening 2018 conference at the University of New South Wales. This interdisciplinary conference brought together scholars, artist-researchers and cultural practitioners from Australia, Canada, New Zealand, the UK, South Africa and beyond whose work engages with listening in various ways: as a political practice; as a critical frame; as an alternative politics; as a contribution to justice and/or as an ethics of relation. It was the first international academic conference on critical studies of listening. https://www.politicsoflistening2018.com/ This episode on ‘First Nations Voice and the Right to be Heard’ was the opening keynote delivered by Professor Megan Davis, Pro Vice Chancellor Indigenous and Professor of Law, UNSW, who was a member of the Referendum Council and the Expert Panel on the Recognition of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Peoples in the Constitution. In this episode, Professor Davis outlines the process of developing the landmark Uluru Statement from the Heart, and the First Nations Voice which would enshrine a norm of listening in the Australian Constitution. Professor Megan Davis is Pro Vice Chancellor Indigenous and Professor of Law, UNSW. Prof Davis is an expert member of the United Nations Human Rights Council's Expert Mechanism on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples.

The relationship between the rise of capitalism, the exploitation of labor and natural resources, the control of productive forces are important components of interests when attempting to understand the imposition of the negatively constructed sociopolitical and cultural institutions of the West. The contractions that move capitalist societies have been subjects of those who study and try to organize folk who are caught within the fissures and cavities of the eventual conflicts that arise from capitalism. According to the article, Repression and Resistance on the Terrain of Social Reproduction: Historical Trajectories, Contemporary Openings, while the idea of social reproduction is most often associated with Marxist feminist literature from the 1970s, considerable work was done around that concept in a wide range of rather disparate bodies of work throughout the 1960s and 1970s. While this work is important, it must not…it can not be lost that the work of African and African descendant women from Maria Stewart, Sojourner Truth to Claudia Jones and the proper expansion of capitalism to be properly contextualized as racial capitalism preceded these notions. And once contextualized we can see the limits of the aforementioned critiques. Drawing genealogies of social reproduction from the perspective of black women's experience, pre and post-slavery to the racist politics of the welfare regimes, Africana women demonstrated that the domestic confines of the housewife was the problem of white working- and middle-class women. Many of these ideas were first articulated in Claudia Jones' important 1949 essay, “To End the Neglect of the Problems of the Negro Woman. It is here, Jones introduced the idea of the triple oppression of working-class black women. She showed that, having had to work alongside their men, black women were never confined to the “domestic” sphere alone. From here, writing in the 1970s and the early 1980s, black women, such as, but not limited to, Angela Davis and Hazel Carby continued the line of thought articulated by Jones. in partial response to Wages for Housework, Angela Davis wrote that “Throughout this country's history, black women toiled together with men under the whip of plantation overseers, suffering a grueling sexual equality at work.” Dr. Davis continues...After slavery, black women were employed in vast numbers in a range of industries, from tobacco and sugar, to lumber and steel. It is here that Professor Davis shows how black women's labor was mobilized in the reproductive realm as well as in the manufacturing and service industries long before discourses of the “double burden” emerged in white feminist thought. Today, Silvia Federici will revisit ideas that she presented in Caliban and the Witch through her new work(s) titled: Witches, Witch-hunting & Women; Reenchanting the World: Feminism & the Politics of the Commons. Silvia Federici is an Italian-American activist and the author of many works, including Caliban and the Witch and Revolution at Point Zero: Housework, Reproduction, and Feminist Struggle. She was co-founder of the International Feminist Collective, an organizer with the Wages for Housework Campaign, and was involved with the Midnight Notes Collective. Silvia Federici has taught at several universities in the US and also in Nigeria. She is now Professor Emerita at Hofstra University (Long Island, NY). Our show was produced today in solidarity with the Native/Indigenous, African, and Afro Descendant communities at Standing Rock; Venezuela; Cooperation Jackson in Jackson, Mississippi; Brazil; the Avalon Village in Detroit; Colombia; Kenya; Palestine; South Africa; and Ghana and other places who are fighting for the protection of our land for the benefit of all peoples!
As a global University, UNSW plays a leading national role in research, education and partnerships with the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander community. This has culminated in the appointment of UNSW’s first Pro Vice-Chancellor Indigenous - Professor Megan Davis, a Cobble Cobble Aboriginal woman - and the launch of the University’s first ever Indigenous Strategy. The UNSW Indigenous Strategy was created in alignment with the roadmap for peace set down by the Uluru Statement from the Heart, which emerged from the First Nations of Australia. This historic consensus was underpinned by UNSW research, including 10 years of scholarship by Professor Davis. At this thought provoking event, brought to you by the Learn@Lunch series, Professor Davis discussed how this ground-breaking strategy and its three key pillars - Culture & Country, Give Back, and Grow Our Own - will provide an Indigenous voice to the UNSW 2025 strategy. As well as a leading UNSW academic, Professor Davis is a constitutional lawyer and committed human rights activist who was the first Indigenous Australian to be elected to a United Nations body. She is now in her seventh year serving as one of the world’s leading experts on Indigenous rights for the UN Human Rights Council.

For this interview, Dr. J asked Professor Katie Davis of the University of Washington Information School about her two upcoming studies funded by federal grants. The common theme is that learning takes place in lots of places, not just in school classrooms. They have a lot of fun discussing these ideas! One place that is a center of learning for the whole community is the public library. Accessing information is key to learning. Now that information is more often sought online than in books, libraries are reinventing themselves as places of digital learning. Katie's grant will allow her to help librarians incorporate digital media into their work with youth so that young people's learning at school and with peers is supported by learning they experience in libraries. She will be funded by Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS), through the Laura Bush 21st Century Librarian Program. Dr. Davis wrote The App Generation: How Today's Youth Navigate Identity, Intimacy and Imagination in a Digital World along with Howard Gardner when she was at the Harvard Graduate School of Education. A project examining the issue of identity will be supported by an additional grant for five years by the National Science Foundation. To cultivate an identity that includes STEM (science, technology, engineering, and math) skills and interests, Katie will develop and test a digital badge system in conjunction with Seattle's science-based afterschool program. Similar to physical badges worn on a sash by members of youth groups, digital badges are a way to provide formal recognition for learning that often occurs informally in the company of peers, often working on computer-based activities. Incorporating them into the classroom would appeal to the interests, goals, and everyday technology use of students. A systematic progression of badges will provide validation of learning that can be included in applications to college or jobs. Professor Davis explains the exciting potential of such a system that would also make clear the skills required to earn a particular badge. Dr. Katie Davis is an Assistant Professor at The University of Washington Information School, where she studies the role of digital media technologies in adolescents' academic, social, and moral lives. She also serves as an Advisory Board Member for MTV's digital abuse campaign, A Thin Line. Prior to joining the faculty at the UW iSchool, Katie worked with Howard Gardner and colleagues as a Project Manager at Harvard Project Zero, where she was a member of the GoodPlay Project and Developing Minds and Digital Media Project research teams. In addition to publishing and presenting her research in scholarly venues, Katie regularly shares her work with parents, teachers, business leaders, and policymakers in an effort to build connections between research and practice. Katie is the co-author with Howard Gardner of The App Generation: How Today's Youth Navigate Identity, Intimacy, and Imagination in a Digital World, which was published in October 2013 by Yale University Press. The book represents a synthesis of the research that Katie conducted with colleagues on the Developing Minds and Digital Media Project and the GoodPlay Project at Harvard Graduate School of Education. Drawing on interviews with young people, focus groups with the adults who work with them, and comparative analyses of youth's artistic productions from 1990-2011, the book explores how today's “digital youth” are different from the youth who grew up in a pre-digital era.

Irene Davis is a renowned biomechanics clinician and scientist. Barefoot running has been one of her areas of focus and she co-authored the Nature paper that received cover attention and created mainstream attention to that topic. She and first author Dr Patrick McKeon, conceived of the idea of a foot ‘core’; if certain foot muscles act as a core it has immediate implications for management in clinical practice. Listen to Professor Davis and see the linked paper (below). Let us know if you agree, disagree. Tweet or write a blog post (email to karim.khan@ubc.ca). One of few researchers who addresses this issue, Prof Davis is a regular keynote speaker at major international conferences.
