Episode 5: Environmental data justice
We are most likely to think about environmental data as sets of facts, but have you thought of it as having a social life? In this episode, we explore how those who collect and prepare environmental data may not necessarily be the ones to use or benefit from it: Dr Tone Walford and Dr Cecilia Chavana-Bryant draw on their experiences of collecting data across the Amazon in Brazil, French Guiana and Peru, and more recently in Hampstead Heath in London, the UK, to consider more collaborative and equitable forms of environmental data. We discuss how bringing together anthropologists, artists, forest ecologists, remote sensing specialists, and the UK’s Ancient Tree Forum, frames alternative modes of collecting, accessing, and sharing environmental data. Tone Walford, Lecturer in Digital Anthropology, UCL Anthropology and Cecilia Chavana-Bryant is a Postdoctoral Research Fellow, UCL Geography Podcast transcript, details of our other podcasts and activities http://tinyurl.com/mubmxu4n

Sex or gender identity? Practical and ethical implications for medicine - Dr Sara Dahlen
Clear communication on sex and gender identity in medical contexts can be challenging. Clinicians may note variation in understandings of these terms, or policies that appear to downplay the relevance of biological sex. This talk explores practical and ethical implications of conflicting language around sex and gender identity in medicine, with focus on potential healthcare consequences, especially for women’s health.
