00 - Livable Futures - Centering Livability w/ Norah Z. Shaw

"I think with everything happening in the world today, it's so much easier to just think of the doom and to just sit in the doom and say, well, I mean, why waste time imagining a future when it's probably not going to happen? And I try as hard as it is to live my life by the concept or with the concept of radical hope and just the idea that. No matter how ridiculous my hope in the future might seem I'm going to have it anyway" - Emalani Case

The first “Woman’s Day” celebration took place in Chicago on May 3, 1908. Organized by the U.S. Socialist Party, it brought together an audience of 1,500 women who demanded economic and political equality, on a day officially dedicated to “the female workers’ causes.” The following year, women gathered in New York for a similar celebration. Inspired by these American initiatives, European socialists soon followed suit. Find out more in this video about International Women's Day.

International Women's Day - March 8th

Recent estimates suggest that the 1918 flu pandemic claimed as many as 50 million lives around the world between 1918 and 1919, killing more people in a single year than the entire “Black Death” of the 14th century. As the world confronts a new pandemic, it is worth remembering the history of the “Spanish” flu and how it set us on the path towards our modern flu vaccine.

Written by Dr. Jim Harris. Narrated by Dr. Nicholas Breyfogle. A textural version is available at http://origins.osu.edu/milestones/pandemic-flu-spanish-flu-1918-H1N1-WW1-vaccine
