Last was an illuminating conversation with Frederick Cooper on the arc of #colonialism, the importance of considering theories from different regions, and more at #CASBS. Both the perspectives and the historical facts served up here were enlightening, highly recommend https://podcasts.google.com/u/1/feed/aHR0cHM6Ly9mZWVkcy5zaW1wbGVjYXN0LmNvbS9oNUpGUDROXw/episode/ODA1NmVjYmQtNDM1ZS00NWQzLWJiYmItNzc4ZDlmMGU3Y2Ew?sa=X&ved=0CAUQkfYCahcKEwjo7rX904qAAxUAAAAAHQAAAAAQLA (7/7)
Human Centered - Frederick Cooper's Illumination of History

Drawing upon a career of scholarship extending from studies of labor, citizenship, and the state in Africa to explorations of global empire, colonialism, and globalization, three-time CASBS fellow Frederick Cooper – in conversation with 2022-23 fellows Jean Beaman and Martin Williams – gives a master class on how critical and relational thinking serve historical inquiries that advance our understandings.

This episode [of the pod #HumanCentered] is produced in
association with the #CASBS
project "The Social Science of
Caregiving," and draws further inspiration from the CASBS project "Imagining Adaptive Societies."

In any event, the two are onto something regarding the next quantum leap in #AI development, embodiment**, even coupled with caregiving:

First was an excellent panel on the present and future of worker influence at #CASBS with John Ahlquist, Roy Bahat, Oren Cass, and Veena Dubal. There's a lot of focus on how #unions can grow in the US and the promise of sectoral bargaining, but the panel also touches on what worker voice actually means and how modern employees want different things of their unions than members in past decades. Highly recommend https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p0zIO9k13O8 (2/5) #labor #work #HR
Episode 23: "New Visions for Effective Worker Influence"

Many of the luminaries of the systems sciences spent a year at the #CASBS (e.g. Kenneth Boulding wrote _The Image_ in a burst of inspiration, with his participation). In the current day, the CASBS continues to encourage inquiries worth following.

> Capitalist democracy needs rethinking and renewal. Our current political economic framework is fixated on GDP, individual achievement, and short-term profit, all the while heightening barriers to widespread prosperity. Faced with mounting climate crises and systemic discrimination, we must reimagine ways to ensure ethical flourishing for all. In response, the Winter 2023 issue of Dædalus focuses on “Creating a New Moral Political Economy,” and addresses these long-standing problems and how to combat the resultant unequal footing across the polity, marketplace, and workplace. In eleven main essays and twenty-two responses, the authors raise questions about how to create supportive social movements that prioritize collective, equitable, and respectful responsibility for care of the earth and its people.
