How might urban citizens live with extreme heat 100yrs from now?🔥

Still on a high from our CSB design futures workshop "The Repair Shop for Tomorrow: Provo-types for a Climate-Resilient Pluriverse"

So many bright ideas from our students! Excited to mentor them as they apply for innovation funding.

There are countless phenomenal women to look up to, to be in solidarity with, to be valued as competent colleagues, and to be cherished as caring loved ones or as loyal friends.
To be heard & celebrated all year round, not just today. That is the dream.

Suggested reading to grasp why (disaster) prevention policy continually fails to take off.
One cause: policy environment is too complex so policymakers choose the *appearance of success* vs addressing root causes.
Sounds familiar 'no?

First pic I took of the aftermath of Typhoon Yolanda/Haiyan - the mass grave in San Joaquin. The first stop of our women's rights humanitarian group after landing in Tacloban. Unfathomable loss & injustice. Some DRRM improvements since then but still many lessons to be learned 10 years after.

"A Reconnected Earth" will be launched this weekend as a complement to the similarly titled art exhibit. Includes my piece on the potential of the social sciences & humanities to center those most affected by climate change.
Thanks to the Museum of Contemporary Art and Design for leading this!
