In Episode 54 of 'Food for Europe!' we'll be discussing mental health in agriculture. Long working hours, financial worries, isolation and loneliness, are among the many reasons farmers are struggling. That leaves us to ask: What does it mean to be a farmer in today's world? At the same time, there is a lot that can be done – and the European Commission is aware of the problem. Our guests this time are Maria Gafo, Head of the Social Sustainability Unit at the European Commission's Directorate-General for Agriculture and Rural Development; David Meridith, Head of Agri-Food and Spatial Analysis at the Irish Agriculture and Food Development Authority; Peter Lundqvist, a professor at the Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences, and Peter Hynes, a farmer from Ireland who has struggled with mental health issues.
“Israel aims to cancel and erase Palestinian life!” UN Special Rapporteur for the occupied Palestinian territory, Francesca Albanese, and director of Forensic Architecture, Eyal Weizman, expose the mechanics of Israel's genocide in Gaza. Speaking to Palestinian journalist from Gaza, Ahmed Alnaouq, Francesca references her new UN report titled “Genocide as Colonial Erasure”, which documents how Israel is wielding its genocide as part of a broader, systematic and intentional state-organised forced displacement and replacement of the Palestinians. A new 800 page report published by Forensic Architecture titled “A Spatial Analysis of the Israeli Military's Conduct in Gaza since October 2023”, uses innovative digital technology to illustrate Israel's wholesale destruction of the Gaza Strip which has left “no safe place” for Palestinians under siege and bombardment, according director Eyal Weizman. Ahmed Alnaouq is a Palestinian journalist from Gaza co-founder of We Are Not Numbers.

#182: The 10 Freeway is shutdown for a few weeks due to fire damage. The closure has disrupted the commute of hundreds of thousands of daily commuters...but people are adjusting. How To LA podcast host Brian De Los Santos traveled to the area near Alvarado where the freeway is closed to test the traffic flow himself and talk to folks who work around there and are feeling the impact. He also speaks to Marlon Boarnet, an urban planning professor at USC, about how the fix it plan may resemble the response to damage sustained in the 1994 Northridge earthquake, and what it means to communities more broadly to have a freeway, much less a broken one, cut through it. Guest: Marlon Boarnet, Professor of Public Policy and Spatial Analysis at USC's Price School Of Public Policy and Director of the METRANS Transportation Consortium at USC.

There is a general understanding that it is becoming increasingly difficult to extract meaning from all the data we are collecting without using AI. But what is AI, and how did we end up in a situation where it is identifying wolves from dogs based on the presence of snow in the background of images? What does this mean for spatial analysis using tabular data? What is explainability? This is not a "how-to" do spatial analysis using an AI episode, it is an overview of AI in spatial analysis episode with Vin Sharma, VP of Engineering at FourSquare https://www.linkedin.com/in/ciphr/ https://foursquare.com/
Women in higher education must navigate a world that is not regularly friendly to them as mothers or as experts in their disciplines. When these professionals are in Christian universities, there are problems that emerge which require greater scrutiny of claims to be “family-friendly,” and how we treat female professors. Dr. Deshonna Collier-Goubil is the co-editor for Power Women: Stories of Motherhood, Faith, and the Academy, which is a multi-authored collection from Christian women in higher-ed. Enjoy learning about why this book and these intersections are important for women and those of us who operate outside of higher-ed. Christians have an opportunity to re-shape cultural spaces that do not prioritize Christian values and learning from these contributors is a significant start. Pick up your copy of Power Women here: https://cbeinternational.christianbook.com/power-women-stories-motherhood-faith-academy/9780830853069/pd/853069?event=ESRCG Bio Dr. Deshonna Collier-Goubil, is the interim dean for the School of Behavioral and Applied Sciences at Azusa Pacific University. She has a holistic perspective of the criminal justice system, those who interact with the system (victims, offenders, communities), and the challenges the criminal justice system faces in today's rapidly changing climate. Collier encourages her students to think critically and ethically about the criminal justice system, challenging them to study the system from differing perspectives while maintaining a core principle of integrating their faith with their career goals. Her research interests include race and crime, gender and crime, and prisoner re-entry. She has a PhD from Howard University in Sociology with a Concentration in Criminology, Race, Class, & Gender Relations.

In September 2015, leaders from around the world gathered in New York at the United Nations General Assembly and committed to an ambitious global agenda, setting forth seventeen “Sustainable Development Goals”, or SDGs, to be achieved by 2030. These goals, if accomplished, would mark incredible feats of human history. Unfortunately, the most recent report from the UN Economic and Social Council shows that the world is not on track to meet these targets by the 2030 deadline. This episode of the Oxford Policy Pod will dive into the progress and delays on the SDGs, and understand what it will take to reach these goals. We also explore how policymakers are using these voluntary international commitments to guide and prioritize work in practice, specifically in the context of developing urban areas. https://www.sdglab.ch/en-team/edward-mishaud (Edward Mishaud), is a Senior Advisor and current acting Director with the https://www.sdglab.ch/ (SDG Lab) at UN Geneva.

Using public data from the U.S. Forest Service, Steve Bassett, Director of Planning and Spatial Analysis with The Nature Conservancy, has been creating perimeter maps each morning, showing the progression of the Hermits Peak-Calf Canyon Fire in northern New Mexico. “With the skills that I have and the desperation I was feeling, I went out and grabbed that data and did something with it to get some more information out and into the public hands,” he says. In conversation with correspondent Laura Paskus, he also talks about what he is learning along the way. Andrew Curley is a professor at the University of Arizona's School of Geography, Development & Environment. His research focuses on the “everyday incorporation of Indigenous nations into colonial economies” including fossil fuel development in the U.S. Southwest and creation of the Central Arizona Project off the Colorado River. In conversation with correspondent Laura Paskus, he talks about how the Colorado River's crisis far predates climate change and challenges the narrative of climate apocalypse. The Line Opinion panel discusses the now record-setting wildfire burning near Las Vegas. Governor Michelle Lujan Grisham wants the federal government to cover all the costs for all our fires, but is that a realistic request? And, the new restrictions at National Forests around the state.

Amy Glasmeier is professor of Economic Geography and Regional Planning. She runs LRISA, the lab on Regional Innovation and Spatial Analysis, in DUSP. Glasmeier is also a Founding Editor of the Cambridge Journal of Regions, Economy and Society, a journal which publishes multi-disciplinary international research on the spatial dimensions of contemporary socio-economic-political change. Glasmeier's research focuses economic opportunities for communities and individuals through the investigation of the role of geographic access and the effect of locational accident on human development. She won a 2018 grant from the National Science Foundation for her Collaborative Research on Understanding the benefits and mitigating the risks of interdependence in critical infrastructure systems. Recent awards include the Fellow award from American Association of Geographers (December 2017) and the MIT Office of the Dean for Graduate Education Receipt of the Award from the “Committed to Caring” campaign (2017).She is writing a textbook on the Geography of the Global Energy Economy. Her other project, "Good Bye American Dream" traces the ideology of opportunity that undergirds America's relationship to the poor. Through analysis of census data, popular media, and personal narratives, Glasmeier is exploring the contradictions in the most sacred of constructs by demonstrating the ephemeral nature of economic opportunity encumbered by locational accident, institutional inertia, and the unintended consequences of public policy. The work builds off of her long running Living Wage Calculator, which analyzes the minimum level of income required for individuals and families to pay for basic living expenses. Recent press includes an interview on MIT Spectrum.Glasmeier holds a professional Masters and PhD in Regional from UC Berkeley and currently serves as Associate Planning Board Member in the Town of Cohasset.
Along with globalization of our societies comes the need to analyze the geospatial and geotemporal data that is needed to manage the growth in commerce, communications, and other activities. In order to make geospatial analytics more maintainable and scalable there has been an increase in the number of database engines that provide extensions to their SQL syntax that supports manipulation of spatial data. In this episode Matthew Forrest shares his experiences of working in the domain of geospatial analytics and the application of SQL dialects to his analysis.
Part of the International conference on Maharashtra in September 2021 - Jessica Chandras, Wake Forest University, USA By examining the contemporary multiscriptual and multilingual landscape of the city of Pune, Maharashtra, this paper explores the ways language ideologies circulate about Marathi, English, Urdu, and Hindi to illuminate a linguistic infrastructure of the city. Pune is an apt city to explore circulating multilingual ideologies as the city maintains an identity as a stronghold of Maharashtrian history and culture but has also undergone rapid demographic and social change since liberalization in the 1990s, tied to an expansion of the IT industry and as a hub for education. I explore language ideologies, as beliefs about languages and their speakers that motivate behavior, to argue that language is one way that Pune residents organize socio-spatial knowledge of the city and navigate belonging (Schieffelin et al, 1998). Through qualitative ethnographic research from 2016 to 2018, including asking individuals with insider knowledge of a place to draw a cognitive map of Pune to create an intimate view of locations based on layering subjective experiences (Graham 1976), this linguistic anthropological study extends a discussion of the power of both written and spoken language in Pune to socially construct understandings of identity and belonging (Jaffe & De Koning 2015, Lynch 1960). Data includes seven cognitive maps of the city's socio-spatial linguistic boundaries along with images of signage in three distinct Pune neighborhoods to analyze interlocutor's making sense of contemporary urban Indian multilingual and multiscriptual space as a cultural category (Duranti & Goodwin 1992, Feld & Basso 1996). Findings indicate the use and broadly circulating knowledge of different languages and scripts in the city coincide with many socio-political identifying features and social stratification through caste categories, socioeconomic statuses, and religious/ethnic backgrounds. Understanding a city's infrastructure and spatial organization through language guides Pune residents' experiences of the city and their roles within it.

Because oftentimes they're very early on. And wherever they're trying to sell you today, it's going to evolve in six months, and that evolution is really going to be dependent on the team. - Scottie Is the problem that you're really trying to solve for us all that meaningful and impactful? Or is it maybe a secondary problem and maybe you're better off as a bolt-on feature to something else. - Scottie In terms of big don'ts, the one thing I can't stand is the constant email blasting that we're getting from multiple people within an organisation. It's just, it puts a red flag up to say, I'm out. I don't want to hear any more from you. You're done. - Marco I think there's lot of work in trying to connect, I would say, legacy systems with more modern technologies, particularly around their data and analytics and so forth. - Scottie Uou need to try things. You can't just stay with the status quo. So you need to be able to be open-minded understand what technologies that you're going to look at to embrace and bring into the organisation. - Marco if we were going to engage and want to do something like a pilot, we need a little bit of suitability on partner side or on the vendor side. So those are some of the things that you try to pick at and try to get a good handle on before you really start to engage. - Scottie Keywords: investment, proptech, retail, startups, institutions, failure, success About Our Guests: Scottie Lee https://www.linkedin.com/in/scottie-lee-05a6313/ Scottie Lee is Vice President, Strategy & Research at Equity Residential in Chicago where he manages a team responsible for market research, sustainability, resilience, energy and environmental.

This podcast explores how the pandemic is changing density around the world and generating forms of politics. With a diverse group of scholars and practitioners from around the world, the podcast addresses the following specific questions/ themes: How should density be conceived and why is it important to understanding cities (and the pandemic)? What is the pandemic doing to different forms of density? Is the pandemic changing the ‘where’ of density? Is the pandemic changing how we understand density? Do we now need to think about density in a different light or can we use the debates and concepts we’ve used in the past? The podcast is moderated by: Colin McFarlane is Professor of Urban Geography at Durham University, UK. His work focusses on the politics of urban life, particularly in relation to density, infrastructure, and equality. Our Guests are: Hung-Ying Chen is a Post Doctoral Research Associate at Durham University (UK).

Planning La La Land: A Scholarly View by Suburbanista Podcast Los Angeles is generally seen as the prototypical car-dependent, sprawling city. Six to eight lane freeways criss-cross the Los Angeles metropolitan region. What many people don’t realise is that Los Angeles has been leading the way in the USA in terms of public transport investment, especially rail-based transit, over the last decade or so. In this, the inaugural episode of the Suburbanista Podcast (@SuburbanistaPod), Paul Maginn, aka @Planographer, discusses some of the major planning and transport issues and challenges within Los Angeles with Prof Marlon Boarnet (@Marlon_Boarnet), Chair of the Dept. of Urban Planning and Spatial Analysis at the University of Southern California’s Sol Price School. In this episode Paul asks Prof Boarnet what planning lessons, if any, can Los Angeles offer other global cities.

Loyalty cards are one of the many ways that data on individuals is stored and captured. The amount of data on an individual person is relatively tiny but when you look at the big picture, everyone's collective data can provide incredibly deep insights into our daily lives. It is incredibly important for researchers and city planners to be able to access this vital information whilst maintaining an individuals right to privacy to make effective decisions in the future. Professor of Spatial Analysis and Policy, his major interests are in simulating social and demographic change within cities and regions, and in understanding the impact of these changes on the need for services like housing, roads and hospitals, using techniques of microsimulation and agent based modelling. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at http://ted.com/tedx
