Civic Science

<p>The challenges we face today, global warming, environmental degradation, resource depletion, habitat loss, and their associated social impacts, require coordination and collaboration between geoscientists and other societal stakeholders for us to craft effective solutions.  These same problems often require coordinated actions across borders, and the people trying to solve these problems, locally and regionally, often suffer from a lack of resources and insufficient access to scientific expertise.</p><p>It is especially important for geoscientists to participate in and advance a culture of civic science, in which societal needs and diverse perspectives shape science, and scientific discoveries inform public understanding, decisions, and policies. This is done by expanding our capacity to support scientists who engage with decision makers and members of the public, both individually and collectively. </p><p>It is for this reason that a group of geoscientists and educators have come together to create the <strong>Global Network for Geoscience and Society.  </strong>Our mission is to strengthen cooperation and catalyze actions that support the global geoscience community by providing a network that enables collaboration and extends to all an opportunity to partner with others to advance resilience and sustainability.</p><p>Founded by volunteers from the GSA, the EGU, the AGU, Geology in the Public Interest, Geology for Global Development, the Geological Survey of Sweden, the Geological Society of London, and several universities and other organizations, the Network will bridge the gap between geoscientists and other communities so that they can collaborate to develop sustainable, context-appropriate solutions.  It will highlight opportunities for civic-minded geoscientists and others to address societal challenges related to natural resource exploitation, environmental contamination, natural hazards, and climate change. </p><p>Building upon existing successful programs such as AGU’s Thriving Earth Exchange, the Network will create avenues to connect programs and people to advance resilience and sustainability.  It will provide civic science resources for geoscientists and advocate for effective and equitable collaborations to advance locally expressed development priorities.  It will promote the elevation of community voices that are not always heard, such as indigenous groups, women, the impoverished, and communities of faith, and it will establish a mechanism to advise community groups and organizations that require assistance with problems that involve the geosciences and sustainability.</p><p>If you are a geoscientist interested in sustainability, or if you represent a government agency, a foundation or nonprofit, or a forward-looking for-profit corporation, we invite you to join us.  Send us an email ([email protected]) and we’ll be in touch.  </p>

Role Of Parents

There are several problems in the community with children in the fields of Education, Law and Health. There are still children under 18 years of age who are exploited as commercial sexual workers; children in conflict with the law, children aged 10-18 Years work in the informal sector, children who leave primary school before graduating or do not continue to the next level due to access and economy; adoption cases are carried out outside the standard population administration procedures; the discovery of stunted children. So, it is necessary to increase public understanding regarding child protection. One of those who have the responsibility of providing protection to children is the parent, the service program is carried out by providing material related to the role of parents and society in providing protection to children. The delivery of this material aims to provide an understanding of child protection in terms of education, law and health so that the public can understand the importance of protecting children. This service activity in Tambun Village can be said to be successful. There was a request from the participants to continue this activity. The people of Tambun Village hope that for further activities, further training is given regarding the skills needed by parents and the community. To increase community understanding, the WA Group was also created, whose members are parents who have participated in the Socialization program, this group aims to be a forum for communication between the Service Team and the local community.

Central Avenue

The walking tour was a major part of the public program we organized about Central Avenue. The principal challenge in conducting such an excursion was the almost total absence of the physical structures that had comprised this district. Unlike the weekly guided tours of nearby Ybor City (Tampa's historic cigar-making district), where a costumed tour guide conducts visitors around brick streets lined with old buildings explaining the lives of the people who lived in the neighborhood, Central Avenue had been so completely destroyed that all that remained was a featureless grassy landscape. In one sense, this void was intrinsic to the meaning we hoped to convey. We wanted to transform perceptions of this emptiness into public understanding of what had once been in that place and, equally important, what had caused its obliteration. We decided to attempt a metaphorical reconstruction, guided by the very real memories of people who had lived this history. The overall format of the public program was planned to begin with the walking tour and conclude with a panel discussion inside one of the only remaining buildings in the area.

This paper explores the creation of Algonquin Park, and its social and economic exclusion of local people, including the people after which the park was named, in favour of industrial resource exploitation. The very foundation of the park in 1893 was a form of exclusion, though Aboriginal people were so socially marginalized that their existence was only subsequently recognized through the casting of their everyday behaviours as deviant. Non‐Aboriginal trappers were also confronted with the prohibition of their primary economic activity. Surveillance and law enforcement became important as hunting and simply entering the space without permission were criminalized. Official publications and brochures highlight the public and recreational aspects of the park, but industrial resource extraction, particularly clear cut logging by private lease‐holding companies, was deemed a legitimate activity. This reflects the related capitalist and colonial values of the provincial government and suggests that the creation of Algonquin Provincial Park was hegemonic and economic. The record of legislation, policy construction and enforcement in the park provide an excellent testimony of this reality.8

Deciding whether to be a “public scientist”—using the media spotlight to highlight important issues—means deciding whether one is a natural explainer. Also, it must be decided how much time and effort can be committed to such outreach and how it impacts research and other activities. Explaining research does offer satisfactions, in that the researcher is contributing to public understanding of science. One problem is that the coverage of science and technology is small and shrinking. That said, opportunities to reach the public directly through websites and social media are considerable. The role of public scientists and the importance of explaining research in general are becoming ever more critical because failure to bridge the information gulf between researchers and the public will hamper, perhaps tragically, our ability to solve the massive global problems we face—climate change, resource depletion, ecological damage, food security, and disease.
