#WesternUniversity in #LondonON is allowing their "pro-life" club to host an event about the "effectiveness of showing abortion victim photography" (which they later renamed "Strategy Presentation").
This is referring to the use of graphic, anti-abortion imagery, an extremely harmful and controversial tactic used by some anti-choicers.

Had a nice 5.5K stress-relief #run from my hotel to #WesternUniversity. Looking forward to registering for the #CAPCongress at noon and then heading back for lunch.

The strategic planning exercise for #CAP has completed this first community-driven phase. Meanwhile, I have been enjoying the #WesternUniversity campus that hosts our planning and the #CAPCongress, which kicks off tomorrow.

Headed to #London, #Ontario to #WesternUniversity, host institution for the 2024 Congress of the Canadian Association of #Physicists (#CAP). I am going there early to participate in a strategic planning meeting that precedes the Congress, which begins Sunday.

Those of us teaching and studying #UrbanPolitics in Canada have a troubling tendency to think that local politics is a distraction because towns and cities are creatures of the provinces, but of course in reality there's a lot of important complexity and agency at play. #WesternUniversity political scientists Martin Horak and Zack Taylor have created the Canadian Municipal Attributes Portal, which they report on here with Charlotte Kurs.

In a positive outlook for 2024, #universities across #Canada are introducing more #PlantBased or #vegan food options. Many of the universities have stated this is due to ongoing demand from students for more variety - and a larger push for more sustainable practices.
A number of universities are taking the lead, notably:
-#WesternUniversity. The university set a goal of having a 40 per cent plant-based menu at all dining halls by the new year, but it hit the target — and at some points even surpassed it — this year. A fully vegan outlet will open in 2024, and the school wants to reach a 50 per cent target in 2025.
-#TheUniversityOfBritishColumbia. 55 per cent of the food in dining halls is plant-based, and the Vancouver school hopes to reach a goal of 80 per cent by 2025.
-#ConcordiaUniversity in Montreal plans to reduce its purchase of meat, dairy and eggs by 30 per cent.
-#DalhousieUniversity in Halifax aims to offer a menu with at least 50 per cent plant-based food options by 2030.
-#UniversityOfToronto. Plant-based options represented less than half of the universities food services offerings two years ago, but now account for 61 per cent.Vegan Australia is advocating for Australian universities* to gain inspiration from these progressive examples, and embrace a fully vegan food system for the benefit of the planet, humanity, and for the animals.

Next was an amazing talk by Oliver Hart on the importance of #ESG and shareholder welfare at #WesternUniversity. The economic and moral case laid out here is impeccable, and offered a reasonable alternative to the purely profit-driven ESG approach. Highly recommend https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SZM6D1RM-y0 (9/10) #economics #investing
-
Next was a thoughtful talk by Grant Campbell on the myriad biases and issues with using #AI to predict #dementia at #WesternUniversity. Computer scientists too often focus on accuracy without understanding data biases or social context, and this talk thoroughly lays those out in the dementia context https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8NwW0tXZiZA (5/10)

Next was a fabulous talk by Katy Greenland and @profkeonwest on the definitional boundaries of #discrimination at #WesternUniversity. Pretty much everyone thinks #racism is bad and don't think they engage in any racist behaviors, but racist acts happen all the time. This talk gets into the psychological foundation of this disconnect, and why quantitative metrics are essential for getting at the heart of discrimination. Highly recommend https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tvDeXPCopNQ (4/7) #psychology
-
Last was a fantastic talk by Jennifer Walker on #indigenous #data governance and #ethics at #WesternUniversity. The well researched, inclusive approach here is a model to follow in countries beyond #Canada, and the OCAP program described here looks amazing. Highly recommend https://lnkd.in/eyH9yCBA (6/6)

First was a thorough talk by @sylviafuller on women managers and the #gender wage gap at #WesternUniversity. Looking at data from South #Korea and an initiative to increase the proportion of women managers set the stage for an interesting look at whether or not women managers can improve gender equity (tldr; a bit, but it's complicated) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SVYR0K9nd_g (2/6) #HR
