Summary from Innovation Talk:
“FEEDING THE WORLD IN A CHANGING ENVIRONMENT”
Presented by Olcay ÜNVER, PhD.
January 25, 2018
McCord Hall, Arizona State University, Tempe, Arizona
This talk is about the challenge of feeding an increasingly hungry world against a backdrop of resource degradation, inefficiencies, loss and waste, and the impacts of a changing climate. The state of affairs in many of these are far from desirable, and some are projected to worsen as the competition for natural resources increases. Yet, there is reason for optimism, manifested in some of the trends that we are now observing and in the resolve of the international community, that is, governments, civil society and private sector to address the challenge.

Nermin Abadan Unat’ın hayatına sığdırdıklarını kırpın 1000 korkağa 60 yıllık hayat hikâyesi çıkar
ALMANYA’YA göçün 50. yılında, göç olgusunu küresel ve ulusal anlamda kavrayabilmek için Nermin Abadan Unat’ın Bitmeyen Göç -Konuk İşçilikten Ulus Ötesi Yurttaşlığa kitabını mutlaka okumak gerekir.
Kitabın başındaki Teşekkür’de çalışmasının özelliğini vurguluyor:
“Bu kitap, 1963’ten bu yana Türk kadın ve erkek emekçilerin yeni bir yaşam kurmak üzere izledikleri sıkıntılı yolları anlatmak, karşılaştıkları güçlükleri açıklamak, oluşturulabilecek politikaları önermek, davet edildikleri, seçtikleri, gittikleri ülkelerin hukuki, siyasi, sosyal ve ekonomik önlemlerle mevzuatlarını belirtmek amacıyla yazdığım kitap ve makalelerin, Türkiye içi ve dışı alan araştırmalarının bir özetidir.
Kitap bunun ötesinde, uluslararası göçün küreselleşme süreci karşısında almış olduğu yeni biçimler, oluşturduğu yeni kavramlar ve kuramların yorumudur. Kısaca, ömür boyu sürdürdüğüm bilimsel çalışmalarımın sentezidir.” [Read more…] about 1000 KORKAĞA 60 YILLIK BİR HAYAT HİKAYESİ

#REMEMBER: NEED TO PROTECT THE HUMAN DIGNITY AND HUMAN RİGHTS OF ALL PEOPLE
by Sevgin OKTAY, The Light Millennium
NGO Representative to the United Nations Department of Public Information
“The first Amendment of the United States constitution does not protect freedom of speech that promotes hatred and for that matter incitement to kill. And yet, there are summer youth camps in this country where they incite young minds to harbor hatred and killing towards certain ethnic groups as can be found in some published books. The point was made that perhaps courts are not applying what the constitution provides.”
