    The job guarantee proposal charts a concrete path to securing the second pillar of the Democratizing Work manifesto, namely to decommodify work. It is an economic policy that provides open-ended public employment opportunities to anyone seeking decent, living-wage work. It is a structural stabilization policy that alleviates the economic, social, and political costs of unemployment and precarious employment. It is equity-driven and draws on a long tradition of human rights and social justice.
     
    The next seminar in the OSUN Economic Democracy Initiative's #DemocratizingWork Global Workshop Series brings together experts and policymakers who are developing or already managing large-scale national employment policies informed by the principles of the job guarantee. There are multi-pronged strategies for securing the right to decent work for all and developing employment-centered economic policies. 

    Panelists
    Kate Philip, Programme Lead on the Presidential Employment Stimulus in South Africa
    Olivier De Schutter, UN Special Rapporteur on Extreme Poverty and Human Rights
    Diego Guevara, General Vice Minister for Finance, Colombia
    Daniel Rojas Medelin, Director, Special Assets Agency, Colombia
     
    Discussants
    Simon Azza (Advisor), Special Assets Agency, Colombia and Manuel Martinez (Advisor), Ministry of Finance, Colombia
     
    Moderator
    Pavlina R. Tcherneva, Bard College, US

    The seminar is co-sponsored by OSUN-EDI and the Democratizing Work initiative and will take place online.

    OSUN's Liberal Arts and Sciences Collaborative (LAS Collab) invites all OSUN faculty interested in adapting liberal arts and sciences education models to attend its first online public gathering.

    The LAS Collab was formed to provide a unique environment where institutions attempting to adapt liberal arts and sciences educational models can consult with each other and access resources to assist them in developing rigorous education protocols. The LAS Collaborative leverages OSUN’s collaborative potential so administrators and faculty can share experiences on issues such as curricular development, teaching, and advising and identifies training tools that strengthen LAS teaching.

    While the Working Group of the LAS Collab has developed a list of areas that the LAS Collab can focus on, we would love to hear from interested faculty members and welcome input to suggest other potential areas. This is an informal meeting, where any faculty interested in liberal arts and sciences education could share their experiences, challenges, and solutions in their local contexts. Faculty are also welcome to give a brief presentation on any topic they think might be of relevance to the LAS Collab. 

    Please write to [email protected] to confirm attendance.

    OSUN's GeoHub project invites network community members to a talk by Ed Parsons, tech evangelist at Google, who will explore how Google Maps uses Artificial intelligence (AI) to change the way people find their way around cities.

    Maps are used today more than at any point in human history. AI is a critical part of what makes Google Maps helpful. Google uses AI not only to create geospatial data but also to gain real-time insights into the world around us.

    AI allows mapping roads over 10 times faster than it was possible five years ago.  AI and navigation information are used to predict traffic and determine routes, as well as to identify hard-braking events and then suggest alternate routes when available. AI is driving a shift towards multi-model navigation and mobility solutions. It is also used to develop innovative user interfaces based on visual positioning.

    Ed Parsons has spent more than 20 years working in the world of geographical information systems (GIS), both in universities and in industry with companies such as Google and Ordnance Survey. In 2006, he set up his own company, Open Geomatics, and, since 2007, has been Google's GeoSpatial Technologist, which includes developing and promoting products such as Google Maps, Google Map Maker, and Street View.

    The Consortium for Liberal Arts in Prison, in partnership with OSUN and Incarceration Nations Network, invites individuals at member institutions to the fifth BPI Global Initiatives Virtual Lecture with Sacha Darke on “Self-Governing Prison Communities: Radical Alternatives to Punitive Detention.”

    Sacha Darke is Reader in Criminology in the School of Social Sciences of the University of Westminster (London). His main research areas are Brazilian prisons and convict criminology. He is author of Conviviality and Survival: Co-Producing Brazilian Prison Order (Palgrave, 2018) and co-editor of Carceral Communities in Latin America. Troubling Prison Worlds in the 21st Century (Palgrave, 2021).

    This lecture series is designed for a global community of practitioners in different higher education contexts in prisons and carceral spaces around the world. In ten virtual monthly sessions, different scholars will introduce attendees to several alternative experiences in prisons. The sessions will be an hour and a half long, and each session will end with Q&A. English-Spanish simultaneous interpretation will be available in all the sessions. 

    The BPI Global Initiatives Virtual Lecture Series runs until June 2023.
