WATER AND AGRICULTURE AS PART OF THE SOLUTION

February 18, 2018 by admin

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.

WOMEN AT THE PEACE TABLE ~ WOMEN AS PEACEMAKERS

November 12, 2017 by admin

by Rene WADLOW*

Seeing with eyes that are gender aware, women tend to make connections between the oppression that is the ostensible cause of conflict (ethnic or national oppression) in the light of another cross-cutting one: that of gender regime. Feminist work tends to represent war as a continuum of violence from the bedroom to the battlefield, traversing our bodies and our sense of self. We glimpse this more readily because as women we have seen that ‘the home’ itself is not the haven it is cracked up to be. Why, if it is a refuge, do so many women have to escape it to ‘refuges’? And we recognize, with Virginia Woolf, that ‘the public and private worlds are inseparably connected: that the tyrannies and servilities of one are the tyrannies and servilities of the other.’ (Cynthia Cockburn, Negotiating Gender and National Identities)

BİR İLKLER HALKASI: ELAZIĞ FIRAT ÜNİVERSİTESİ…

Bu yazıyı, Doç. Dr. Sebahattin Devecioğlu, Doç. Dr. Fatih Özek ve Arş. Görv. ve
Edebiyat Öğrenci Topluluğu Danışmanı Sema Oruç ve Edebiyat Öğrenci Topluluğu üyelerine ithaf ediyorum.

Her şeyin bir ilki ve kendi dönüşüm halkası vardır. İletişim ağı ve kendi iç ve dış bağlantıları çerçevesinde de, bir tarihi…

Bu bir insanın doğuşundan, her bir insanın “hayatım da ilk defa” ifadesinde kendini bulan bir zincirler skalasına; o noktadan da görünen-görünmeyen ağlarının birbiriyle örtüşmesine kadar geniş bir alanı kapsar. Bu soyutlama, yer-coğrafya, mekan, tarih, olay, nitelik benzeri her biri kendi içinde ayrı bir olgu da veya kıpırdanma ile başlayan bir çok unsur için geçerlidir. Gerek coğrafi, gerek sosyal, gerek akademik, gerek entellektüel, gerek tarihsel gerekse bireysel birikimler ve olgular bileşkesinde ise “hayatım da ilk defa”ların dahi, kendi içinde—farkında olunsun ya da olunmasın—bir tarihi vardır!

Aynı zamanda, Elazığ’da geçirdiğim son günü köylerindeki evlerinde bir köy kahvaltısı ile başlayan ve Keban Barajı’nı birlikte görmeyi de içeren, öz’de bir güne damgasını vurmuş olan sımsıcacık bir ev sahipliği ve misavirperverlik ile Belçika merkezli Yerelce‘nin kurucusu ve yayın yönetmeni olan yılların gazetecisi ve editörü Nusret Özgül’ün, yine Yerelce kanalıyla, dünyanın farklı noktalarında olan yazarları arasında yapmış olduğu “Kelebek Etkisi” nedeniyle, bu deneme, değerli meslekdaş ve dost Nusret Özgül ve Yerelce‘ye ithaf edilmiştir.
