EARTHLAB SALON 2020: PROPOSE A TALK
by Isabel Carrera Zamanillo 21 Nov '19

21 Nov '19

What does it mean to center equity and justice in environmental work? The EarthLab Salon is currently accepting presentation ideas centered around this question from all UW faculty, staff, and students! Pairs of presenters from two distinct fields are invited to submit their talk proposals. Each pair will work collaboratively and present contrasting or complementary perspectives on the theme of equity and justice in environmental work. Presenters are encouraged to seek new colleagues from across units, professions, and positions, and to integrate creative modes such as dance, spoken word, or music, into presentations that enable multiple perspectives to be expressed. For more information and to submit your idea, visit earthlab.uw.edu/2019/11/earthlab-salon-proposals or look at the attached document. For any questions, please contact sarajo(a)uw.edu. This initiative is funded by EarthLab, CoENV Office of Diversity, Equity and Inclusion, Center for Communication, Difference and Equity, and an OMA&D Seed Fund. Presentation ideas are due January 5, 2020 Please share among your networks. Best regards, Isabel Carrera Zamanillo Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Specialist University of Washington College of the Environment 1492 NE Boat St, Suite 210B Seattle, WA 98105 P: 206-221-9316 / E: micz(a)uw.edu<mailto:micz@uw.edu><mailto:micz@uw.edu> Diversity and inclusion are guiding principles of the College of the Environment.

Change Seminar tomorrow 11/19: "Richard Anderson - Mapping the Global Immunization Cold Chain"
by Sara Vannini 18 Nov '19

18 Nov '19

*Join us for Change Seminar tomorrow 11/19!* *When*: Tuesday 11/19, 12pm-1pm *Where*: CSE2-271 *Who: *Richard Anderson, University of Washington *Title: *Mapping the Global Immunization Cold Chain *Abstract:* Vaccines are one of the most important public health interventions ever invented, saving millions of lives every year. The effectiveness of immunization depends on keeping vaccines at appropriate temperatures through a network of storage facilities referred to as the immunization cold chain. However, there is uncertainty about the status of the immunization cold chain in many countries, with basic questions such as “what is the distribution and condition of vaccine refrigerators?” unanswered. This talk will address two fundamental issues: how can accurate information be collected about the global immunization cold chain, and how can this information be made available to global and country stakeholders who are working to strengthen immunization systems. Two complementary University of Washington projects will be presented: The Cold Chain Mapper and ODK-X Cold Chain Data Collection Application. The Cold Chain Mapper is a visualization system that takes cold chain inventory information and presents it for a global audience. The Cold Chain Data Collection Application is built on the ODK-X data management platform and is being deployed in multiple countries including DRC, Pakistan, and Uganda to support modernization of the vaccine cold chain. This talk will emphasize how ideas coming from this work can be scaled to a global system. *Bio:* Richard Anderson is a Professor of Computer Science and Engineering, where he has been on the faculty since 1986, with brief leaves to Indian Institute of Science, Microsoft Research, and PATH. His research has focused on computing for the developing world since 2005, when he became involved with the Digital Study Hall project. In 2009, Richard spent a sabbatical year working with the Digital Health Solutions group at PATH, a global health NGO based in Seattle. This opportunity allowed him to increase his efforts on applying computing technologies to challenges in global health. While working with PATH, he co-founded the Projecting Health project, which uses the Community-Led Video Education model to promote healthy practices in rural areas in India. Now back at the University of Washington, his research interests in ICTD include technologies for behavior change communication, improving tools to support the use of data in strengthening health systems, and digital financial services. -- Sara Vannini, PhD Lecturer - Integrated Social Sciences and Department of Communication University of Washington, Seattle, WA, USA Personal website: http://www.saravannini.com Sanctuary collective website: http://www.sanctuarycollective.net/ Pronouns: she, her, hers

Change Seminar today 11/5: Nithya Sambasivan - Safety, privacy, and gender equity online
by Sara Vannini 05 Nov '19

05 Nov '19

Join us for Change Seminar *today 11/5! * Also, please not the change of room: *we will be in CSE2-371* *When*: Today 11/5, 12pm-1pm *Where*: *CSE2-371* *Who: *Nithya Sambasivan *Title: *Safety, privacy, and gender equity online *Abstract* The Internet isn't gender equitable. In over two-thirds of countries worldwide, there are more male than female users online. And, in India, only 29% of Internet users were reported to be women in 2017. In this talk, I will share findings on how safety & privacy threats limit women's access and free expression online, drawn from our gender equity research in seven countries, spanning nearly 2 years. I will present novel and chilling abuse threats enabled by pervasive social media platforms, resulting in cyberstalking, impersonation and personal data leakages, and how our participants experienced and coped with the threats. I will also share how inadequate privacy on devices led participants to create privacy-preserving practices while sharing phones, such as locks, deleting traces, and avoiding specific digital activities. I will then discuss design implications towards a safer, more private Internet. These research insights have been applied to several Google products, like Google Maps and Neighourly. Check out the full report at g.co/genderequityonline, and papers on abuse <https://storage.googleapis.com/pub-tools-public-publication-data/pdf/acf121…> and privacy <https://storage.googleapis.com/pub-tools-public-publication-data/pdf/02bd1b…> for details. *Bio* Nithya Sambasivan is a researcher at Google Research, focused on the HCI questions of AI globally. Her research has enabled Google to focus on people in the Global South and been applied to several product deployments, such as Google Station, Datally, Google Go, Google Maps, and Crisis Response. She graduated with a Ph.D. from University of California, Irvine and an MS from Georgia Tech, with a dissertation focused on technology design for low-income slum communities, urban sex workers, and microenterprises in India. She previously worked at Next Billion Users, Access & Energy and Google.org (all at Google), Microsoft Research India, IBM Research T J Watson, and Nokia Research Finland.
