Informal settlements, such as Rio de Janeiro's favelas, are not new and they're not rare. Today, one in three people in cities lives in an informal settlement and 85 percent of all housing worldwide is built illegally. By 2050, nearly a third of humanity will live in urban informal settlements. How can we value informal settlements around the world and integrate them on their own terms into our urban planning practices? Could this search lead to a sustainable urban future? This talk will introduce strategies employed by grassroots NGO Catalytic Communities, in over twenty years supporting Asset-Based Community Development together with Rio de Janeiro favela organizers. In addition to this audio, you can watch the video and read the full transcript of their conversation on Shareable.net, and while you're there get caught up on past lectures. Cities@Tufts Lectures explores the impact of urban planning on our communities and the opportunities to design for greater equity and justice with professor Julian Agyeman and host Tom Llewellyn.  Cities@Tufts Lectures is produced by Tufts University and Shareable.net with support from The Kresge Foundation. Lectures are moderated by Professor Julian Agyeman and organized in partnership with research assistants Meghan Tenhoff, and Perri Sheinbaum. Robert Raymond is our audio editor, Zanetta Jones manages communications and editorial, and the series is produced and hosted by Tom Llewellyn. “Light Without Dark” by Cultivate Beats is our theme song.

Minority Tax Reform — Avoiding Overtaxing Minorities When We Need Them Most | Ethically Sourced | Journal Club

This week's episode features another journal club. It covers the article entitled: "Minority Tax Reform — Avoiding Overtaxing Minorities When We Need Them Most" which appeared in the New England Journal of Medicine. The article was written by Theresa Williamson, M.D., C. Rory Goodwin, M.D., Ph.D., and Peter A. Ubel, M.D. This article defines and discusses the "minority tax" that is levied so frequently towards minority academic clinicians. This minority tax leads to an increased work load, increased stress and decreased promotion rates. It likely contributes to a high attrition rate of minority physicians from academic medicine. We hope you enjoy this Journal Club edition of Ethically Sourced. In the future, we will feature additional articles that are relevant to our mission. We hope that generating discussions on Clinical Medical Ethics and Culturally Competent Care will have a positive impact on the lives of disenfranchised patients. Visit The Black Doctors Podcast to learn more about the show. Visit www.StevenBradleyMD.com to learn more about our host. He is available for consultations regarding health equity or medical ethics, as well as for mentorship. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/blackdoctorspodcast/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/blackdoctorspodcast/support

Slums have been a feature of cities for centuries, and accelerating global urbanization has led to an unprecedented number of people living in substandard conditions. Cities have responded with a range of policies including eviction and relocation. But some suggest that cities should stop thinking of slums as a problem to be solved. In this episode, the Lincoln Institute’s Enrique Silva and Theresa Williamson, who has worked for years in Rio’s favelas, exchange ideas about how to make improvements in existing communities while promoting alternatives for future settlement.

In the run-up to Brazil’s year of mega-events, Theresa Williamson made her website RioOnWatch.org into an essential independent news source. In our final Olympics podcast, Theresa Williamson joins me for a wide-ranging and insightful talk that you will not find on any other show. We’ll also stop by a party at the oft-discussed Vila Autódromo, site of a high-profile battle for over residents rights that is just a stone’s throw away from Olympic Park. My ‘Choice Words’ are about the stalwart Brazilian teachers who went on strike in Rio, and the ‘Just Stand Up’ award goes to Anthony Ervin, 35-year-old gold medalist and author of: “Chasing Water: Elegy of an Olympian.” Special thanks to our youngest guest, nine-year-old Kay, who summed up the Olympic effect on Rio so well: “It means so many things, and most of them aren’t good.”Edge of Sports Hotline: (401) 236-3343 (EDGE).

This is the Olympics edition of the Edge of Sports podcast, and it is a news making edition of the show. I am just back from Rio de Janeiro snd the show reflects this in rather dramatic fashion. I sat down face to face with the mayor of Rio de Janeiro Eduardo Paes for a no holds barred discussion about the Olympics, displacement, and corruption and whether Rio is ready to host the games. Then, I sit down with Rio-based activist Theresa Williamson from Catalytic Communities. Theresa does a point-by-point rebuttal to Mayor Paes. Then I have some 'Choice Words' about the Zika virus and the removal of Brazil's President Dilma Rousseff. And lastly, the 'Just Stand Up Award' goes to the independent journalists of RioOnWatch.org.Eduardo Paes: http://fb.com/eduardopaesRJ | http://twitter.com/eduardopaes_ Theresa Williamson: http://twitter.com/greencitiesRio On Watch: http://RioOnWatch.org | http://twitter.com/rioonwatch Catalytic Communities: http://catcomm.org | http://twitter.com/catcommColumn: Don’t Move the Olympics, Protest Them http://thenation.com/article/dont-move-the-olympics-protest-themSee more videos from Dave in Brazil: http://fb.com/edgeofsportspodMusic by Onias Comenda ‘Berimbau’ https://soundcloud.com/boebis2 Ocupa Carnaval ‘Bandeira Branca,’ ’Mascara Negra’ http://soundcloud.com/ocupa-carnaval Beat Box - Dj Perera 2016 http://soundcloud.com/bruninho-do-funk—http://edgeofsportspodcast.com | http://twitter.com/edgeofsports | email us: edgeofsports@slate.comCover photo: Tasso Marcelo (AFP)
