Google Maps: Artificial Intelligence and Navigation
Friday, January 20, 2023 1:30–3 pm
Online Event; Other 7:30 AM New York l 1:30 PM Vienna
OSUN's GeoHub project invites network community members to a talk by Ed Parsons, tech evangelist at Google, who will explore how Google Maps uses Artificial intelligence (AI) to change the way people find their way around cities.
Maps are used today more than at any point in human history. AI is a critical part of what makes Google Maps helpful. Google uses AI not only to create geospatial data but also to gain real-time insights into the world around us.
AI allows mapping roads over 10 times faster than it was possible five years ago. AI and navigation information are used to predict traffic and determine routes, as well as to identify hard-braking events and then suggest alternate routes when available. AI is driving a shift towards multi-model navigation and mobility solutions. It is also used to develop innovative user interfaces based on visual positioning.
Ed Parsons has spent more than 20 years working in the world of geographical information systems (GIS), both in universities and in industry with companies such as Google and Ordnance Survey. In 2006, he set up his own company, Open Geomatics, and, since 2007, has been Google's GeoSpatial Technologist, which includes developing and promoting products such as Google Maps, Google Map Maker, and Street View.

The LAS Collab was formed to provide a unique environment where institutions attempting to adapt liberal arts and sciences educational models can consult with each other and access resources to assist them in developing rigorous education protocols. The LAS Collaborative leverages OSUN’s collaborative potential so administrators and faculty can share experiences on issues such as curricular development, teaching, and advising and identifies training tools that strengthen LAS teaching.
While the Working Group of the LAS Collab has developed a list of areas that the LAS Collab can focus on, we would love to hear from interested faculty members and welcome input to suggest other potential areas. This is an informal meeting, where any faculty interested in liberal arts and sciences education could share their experiences, challenges, and solutions in their local contexts. Faculty are also welcome to give a brief presentation on any topic they think might be of relevance to the LAS Collab.
Assessing Global Progress in Advancing the Job Guarantee
Wednesday, January 25, 2023 10–11:30 am
Online Event; Other 10 AM New York l 4 PM Vienna
The job guarantee proposal charts a concrete path to securing the second pillar of the Democratizing Work manifesto, namely to decommodify work. It is an economic policy that provides open-ended public employment opportunities to anyone seeking decent, living-wage work. It is a structural stabilization policy that alleviates the economic, social, and political costs of unemployment and precarious employment. It is equity-driven and draws on a long tradition of human rights and social justice.
The next seminar in the OSUN Economic Democracy Initiative's #DemocratizingWork Global Workshop Series brings together experts and policymakers who are developing or already managing large-scale national employment policies informed by the principles of the job guarantee. There are multi-pronged strategies for securing the right to decent work for all and developing employment-centered economic policies.
Panelists Kate Philip, Programme Lead on the Presidential Employment Stimulus in South Africa Olivier De Schutter, UN Special Rapporteur on Extreme Poverty and Human Rights Diego Guevara, General Vice Minister for Finance, Colombia Daniel Rojas Medelin, Director, Special Assets Agency, Colombia

Google Maps: Artificial Intelligence and Navigation
Friday, January 20, 2023 1:30–3 pm
Online Event; Other 7:30 AM New York l 1:30 PM Vienna
OSUN's GeoHub project invites network community members to a talk by Ed Parsons, tech evangelist at Google, who will explore how Google Maps uses Artificial intelligence (AI) to change the way people find their way around cities.
Maps are used today more than at any point in human history. AI is a critical part of what makes Google Maps helpful. Google uses AI not only to create geospatial data but also to gain real-time insights into the world around us.
AI allows mapping roads over 10 times faster than it was possible five years ago. AI and navigation information are used to predict traffic and determine routes, as well as to identify hard-braking events and then suggest alternate routes when available. AI is driving a shift towards multi-model navigation and mobility solutions. It is also used to develop innovative user interfaces based on visual positioning.
Ed Parsons has spent more than 20 years working in the world of geographical information systems (GIS), both in universities and in industry with companies such as Google and Ordnance Survey. In 2006, he set up his own company, Open Geomatics, and, since 2007, has been Google's GeoSpatial Technologist, which includes developing and promoting products such as Google Maps, Google Map Maker, and Street View.

The LAS Collab was formed to provide a unique environment where institutions attempting to adapt liberal arts and sciences educational models can consult with each other and access resources to assist them in developing rigorous education protocols. The LAS Collaborative leverages OSUN’s collaborative potential so administrators and faculty can share experiences on issues such as curricular development, teaching, and advising and identifies training tools that strengthen LAS teaching.
While the Working Group of the LAS Collab has developed a list of areas that the LAS Collab can focus on, we would love to hear from interested faculty members and welcome input to suggest other potential areas. This is an informal meeting, where any faculty interested in liberal arts and sciences education could share their experiences, challenges, and solutions in their local contexts. Faculty are also welcome to give a brief presentation on any topic they think might be of relevance to the LAS Collab.
Assessing Global Progress in Advancing the Job Guarantee
Wednesday, January 25, 2023 10–11:30 am
Online Event; Other 10 AM New York l 4 PM Vienna
The job guarantee proposal charts a concrete path to securing the second pillar of the Democratizing Work manifesto, namely to decommodify work. It is an economic policy that provides open-ended public employment opportunities to anyone seeking decent, living-wage work. It is a structural stabilization policy that alleviates the economic, social, and political costs of unemployment and precarious employment. It is equity-driven and draws on a long tradition of human rights and social justice.
The next seminar in the OSUN Economic Democracy Initiative's #DemocratizingWork Global Workshop Series brings together experts and policymakers who are developing or already managing large-scale national employment policies informed by the principles of the job guarantee. There are multi-pronged strategies for securing the right to decent work for all and developing employment-centered economic policies.
Panelists Kate Philip, Programme Lead on the Presidential Employment Stimulus in South Africa Olivier De Schutter, UN Special Rapporteur on Extreme Poverty and Human Rights Diego Guevara, General Vice Minister for Finance, Colombia Daniel Rojas Medelin, Director, Special Assets Agency, Colombia
Discussants Simon Azza (Advisor), Special Assets Agency, Colombia and Manuel Martinez (Advisor), Ministry of Finance, Colombia
Moderator Pavlina R. Tcherneva, Bard College, US
The seminar is co-sponsored by OSUN-EDI and the Democratizing Work initiative and will take place online.

The job guarantee proposal charts a concrete path to securing the second pillar of the Democratizing Work manifesto, namely to decommodify work. It is an economic policy that provides open-ended public employment opportunities to anyone seeking decent, living-wage work. It is a structural stabilization policy that alleviates the economic, social, and political costs of unemployment and precarious employment. It is equity-driven and draws on a long tradition of human rights and social justice.
This panel brings experts and policymakers who are developing or already managing large-scale national employment policies informed by the principles of the job guarantee. There are multi-pronged strategies for securing the right to decent work to all and developing employment-centered economic policies.
With the threat of unemployment still a significant risk to societies around the world in the aftermath of COVID-19, we must act to ensure that all people who seek a job have access to one, whenever it is needed, and which allows them to live with dignity and contribute to their communities

A Kind of Ache: Sarah Hennies, Terry Berlier, & The Living Earth Show at EMPAC
Friday, January 27, 2023 7 pm
“What would it feel like to be the majority?” A Kind of Ache is a multimedia installation and concert from composer Sarah Hennies, sculptor and conceptual artist Terry Berlier, and electroacoustic duo The Living Earth Show that reimagines a world designed from and for a queer identity. The drums-and-guitar duo will play on Berlier’s sculptures alongside Hennies, using objects, music, and their imaginations to wonder “What would it feel like to be the majority?” The Living Earth Show–guitarist Travis Andrews and percussionist Andy Meyerson–is a megaphone and canvas for the world’s most progressive artists, seeking to push the boundaries of technical and artistic possibility while amplifying voices, perspectives, and bodies that the classical music tradition has often excluded. This performance marks the beginning of a multi-season residency for The Living Earth Show at EMPAC, offering engaging and exciting large-scale work from artists with whom they work closely.
