An ethnographic analysis from Oslo, Norway, adds to research on neighbourhood social sustainability/residential preferences. The concepts of cultural security/insecurity may pose a challenge to policymakers’ visions for socially sustainable development. https://t.co/OpmIigVlSa
Older people, esp. those with disabilities, face mobility exclusion due to physical barriers around public transit. This has been further intensified as existing mobility accessibility initiatives have not involved vulnerable groups such as older people. https://t.co/300FqeASpZ

Food insecurity is a leading measure of well-being in the US, and SNAP is key to alleviating it. Many food insecure households are ineligible/do not participate in SNAP (570,00 in MA alone). If SNAP were a UBI, food insecurity would be reduced by up to 98% https://t.co/yN0NyXen33

It’s easy for land acknowledgments to become another form of optical allyship. They can lack a call to action and next steps and are just empty words. This guide helps you move beyond written land acknowledgment into action. https://t.co/P9L6vbOzno
The word ‘hurricane’ comes from Huracán, a Taino/Mayan word denoting the god of wind. The colonial powers, having learned from them, changed how Caribbean people interacted with the land, where they lived and how they recovered from natural hazard events. https://t.co/grKpjybjbg

“Perhaps most importantly, neoliberalism has proved inadequate to deal with emergent developments like climate change, changes in gender and race relations, and a workplace transformed by the very technologies it catalysed.”https://t.co/uQYH01joh2
Annabel Rabiyah's family are from Iraq. Managing engagement for Trustees of Reservations community gardens she said heritage plants at markets have moved neighbors to tears on seeing crops they thought had been lost. “It’s like seeing a long-lost relative” https://t.co/U3s92nC4h3
41-quarter courses meet the climate change goal: “The Astronomy of Climate Change”, “Gender and Climate Justice”, “Indigenous Approaches to Climate Change” and “Environmentalism in Arts and Media”. Many of the classes overlap with courses that focus on DEI https://t.co/hIR8tdFi9n
In the past decade, there were more dedicated lectureships created, and broader curriculum development in black history, culture, politics and philosophy in higher education. In the US, the discipline of black history and arts is more established.
