Despite progress made on global development goals over the past generation -- in curtailing poverty and bringing clean water, food, education health care, and gender equality to millions -- the world still has far to go. Massive disparities exist -- and are growing worse -- between the rich and poor. Human rights and rule of law, absent in too many countries, are losing ground almost everywhere. Climate change threatens to exacerbate environmental and economic challenges. Here are journalists in the trenches of the battle over development, writing on the exploitation of resources, unbalanced trade, a new green revolution, health care, and more.

From anti-vaxx propaganda to partisan political news and wild covid conspiracies, social media is awash with dodgy, even dangerous (mis)information. Who is pushing this content online, what are they trying to achieve and how can we stop it - without censoring free speech?
David is joined by a panel of info-warriors fighting for a less toxic and more truthful online ecosystem:
- Chloe Colliver is a specialist in disinformation and extremism online. She’s the Head of Digital Policy and Strategy at the Institute for Strategic Dialogue.
- Laura Edelson co-leads the Cybersecurity for Democracy project at New York University which tracks the spread of misinformation via paid advertising and partisan news sources on platforms like Facebook.
Will Moy is the CEO of FullFact, the UK’s premier fact-checking charity. They call out politicians, journalists and misinformation going viral online, as well as working with Facebook as an independent fact checker.
Sander van der Linden is professor of Social Psychology at the University of Cambridge, and author of a forthcoming book on the psychology of misinformation, The Truth Vaccine.
They discuss;
3:50 Who is responsible for creating and promoting misinformation on social media?
10:55 What are the incentives driving social media platforms - and why do they often lead to algorithms which amplify misinformation?
18:49 How does FullFact’s partnership with with Facebook work?
25:19 Why is misinformation often so compelling and persuasive?
30:20 How can we distinguish trustworthy from untrustworthy communications?
36:42 How should fact checking articles be constructed? Should they be boring?
41:05 What kind of regulation could help fix the situation? Should we ban certain kinds of content - or enshrine broad principles in law? How good is forthcoming UK and EU legislation?

Fewer Black men applied to medical school in 2014 than in 1978, and Black men have the lowest life expectancy in the United States. With only 2 percent of American doctors being Black men, this comes as no surprise. This documentary dissects the systemic barriers that prevent Black men from becoming medical doctors and the consequences on society at large.
What if we had a medical workforce that reflected our patient population?
What challenges do our Black boys face?
Who are their role models?
Why is it difficult to visualize a Black man in a white coat?
It’s time to end this crisis and get more BLACK MEN IN WHITE COATS.
Panelists

Gloria Ladson-Billings, Professor Emerita, University of Wisconsin's Department of Curriculum and Instruction and Kellner Family Distinguished Professor in Urban Education, celebrates the 20th Anniversary of the Brodie Family Lecture with her talk on culturally relevant pedagogy.
Since the initial introduction of culturally relevant pedagogy, our schools and classrooms have grown even more complex. The combination of rapid technologies and the enthusiasm of youth culture make it necessary for teachers (at all levels) to rethink their practice. Even culturally relevant pedagogy must evolve. This talk speaks to the way the evolution of culturally relevant pedagogy may insure that more students experience success both in and out of the classroom.
Ladson-Billings is also the president of the National Academy of Education.
Global growth is set to reach 5.6 percent in 2021, the strongest post-recession pace in 80 years, yet the recovery is expected to be highly unequal within and across countries. Additionally, the pandemic has amplified existing social and economic gaps. Can inclusive growth be sustained during and after this crisis? Our Annual Meetings offer a unique opportunity to interact with government officials, youth leaders, development experts & people on the frontlines of the resilient recovery from the pandemic.

This is a moment of repudiation of international law. Some of the leading States that have shaped international law are not only exiting treaties, but also openly declaring and operating outside its rules. One important way to trace the promise of international law at this moment of difficulty is to go outside the beltway of our discipline to places often unfamiliar in our textbooks and the locations where we practice and teach international law. To do that, this lecture will take you to places like Arusha, Tanzania, the seat of three international courts. In doing so, it will bring into the conversation the voices of international lawyers from the Third World and the everyday issues that drive their practice and scholarship often under very difficult political circumstances. To appreciate fully the promise of international law, it is important to go beyond the usual debates, places and canons of the discipline in two ways.
First, this lecture challenges the limited geography of places and ideas that dominate the
beltway of international law. This limited geography and set of ideas is characterized by the law
of Geneva, the law of Strasbourg, the law of New York and the law of Washington DC. These are the places that the discipline celebrates as producers of the type of international law which in turn becomes the benchmark for the efficacy of international law produced elsewhere. These are also the locations where the bulk of international legal practice is produced and which influences and reinforces understandings not only of international practice but also of international law more generally. Second, a Third Approaches to International Law (TWAIL) perspective, speaking from a subaltern epistemic location, questions international law’s presumed universality. TWAIL contests the idea that international law is applicable everywhere and that it should therefore appear as a view from nowhere. Third World States and TWAIL scholars have contested this non−situated, universal status of international law in a variety of ways. Ultimately, the Third World is an epistemic site of production and not merely a site of reception of international legal knowledge. Recognizing and grounding the Third World as a site of knowledge production and of the practice of international law disrupts the assumptions that international legal knowledge is exclusively produced in the West for consumption and governance of the Third World.

These short “pecha kucha-like” sessions will feature four presentations of 6 minutes and 40 seconds each. We will have time at the end of the session intended for Q&A for all presenters. Come for a lively, rapid-fire group of talks moderated by Beth Bernhardt, Consortia Account Manager, Oxford University Press and Conference Director.
1. Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion: Black Librarians and the State of Publishing in Librarianship - Wendy Moore
"The library profession (and library information science programs) has often been accused of not being highly inclusive of Black/African Americans and other persons of color. Over the years, many initiatives have and continue to be implemented to reconcile this matter. Often, these practices are encouraged to bring more African Americans to the library field. Although this inclusivity has dealt with representation in libraries, there has not been much work done in the publishing of Black/African American librarians, primarily Black academic librarians. This paper attempts to discuss how Black/African American librarians are often excluded from the process of publishing and takes a look at how publishers arrive at what is publishable. It also provides some answers as to what has/can be done to enact more inclusivity of publishing in librarianship.

2. Streaming Media Acquisition in Times of COVID: Adapting on the Fly - Faye Christenberry, Rebecca Doxford, Morag Stewart
At the outset of the COVID-19 pandemic, requests for streaming media sky-rocketed as faculty and library staff shifted to remote work and support of online-only instruction in the spring of 2020. This transition prompted acquisitions and collections staff at the University of Washington Libraries to scale up and adjust processes to support demand in the rapidly evolving library and vendor environments. These changes highlighted issues with hosted streaming processes, digital storage capacity, and support for accessibility, among others, and revealed opportunities to improve cross-departmental workflows and model licensing language. This presentation will describe the UW Libraries' response to these and other challenges and opportunities COVID presented and thoughts on post-COVID management of streaming media acquisitions.
3. The reality about serials inflation and the 2021 Periodicals Price Survey - Barbara Albee, Sion Romaine
"Budget planning for library materials has always been both a science and an art. But economic shocks, new pricing models and a preference for funding new services over collections are making it increasingly difficult for collections librarians to practice their budget science, no matter how artful they may be.
Since 1993, the annual Library Journal serials pricing article has been a trusted tool in library budget forecasting as well as a key benchmark for evaluating current funding. In this session, two of the authors of the 2021 article share their methodology for gathering the data and writing the article and discuss how the statistics and trends identified in the article may be applied in your library.
Learn about the effects of the pandemic on library budgets, open access, the 2022 serials marketplace forecast, and more.
Drawing upon the research for the 2021 article this program will also discuss the current scholarly publishing and library landscapes, the emerging issues and trends driving journal pricing and will offer insight into what to expect for 2022. The opportunity for questions and discussion will be provided."
CST Conference 2022 Panel 13: Power and Television
Power has always been an important aspect of our research into television.
[00:02:00] Laeed Zaghlami from Algiers University examined how the shifting configurations of television in Algeria impacts on the power of politicians. Emphasising the role of television to potentially enshrine a 'sacred image' of the politician-personality, he expressed his hopefulness as the time of monopoly television comes to an end.
[00:18:14] Gulnara Zakharova from the University of Paris 2, Pantheon Assas, examined the soft power of Russia Today in France. The channel is now defunct and banned in Europe. But before it was a key space for far-right criticism of the French presidency.
[00:35:58] The discussion panel was chaired by Mita Lad from Middlesex University.
