Live and Dangerous: Journalism and the Real-Time Social Web

Venue: Kathleen Fitzpatrick Theatre, Arts West

Presenters: Dr Emily Bell

The 2016 A. N. Smith Lecture in Journalism

Modern journalism is enabled by the reach and power of technology platforms and social networks to broadcast anything from anywhere in the world. Terrorist attacks become horrifying theatre, our attention drawn to events and their aftermath as they unfold, and the 'breaking news' organisation is anyone with a mobile phone and a social media account. As Facebook Live becomes the window on all events, and mobile technology turns anyone into a potential broadcasting unit, how do we decide what to report and what to edit? Who is in control and what is the role for legacy broadcasters and news organisations in this new world?

Emily Bell is the founding director of Columbia University’s highly regarded Tow Center for Digital Journalism and a leading authority on digital journalism.

This lecture has been rescheduled after being cancelled in October 2016.

Palmyra (Syria) Vacation Travel Video Guide

Venue: Singapore Theatre, Basement, Melbourne School of Design

Presenters: Professor Wouter Poortinga Welsh School of Architecture and the School of Psychology

Campaigns to reduce plastic bag use are gaining impetus in Victoria. This seminar provides an opportunity to from learn the UK experience. The research provides insights to behaviour change that will be useful for policy makers, program designers and advocacy groups.

This presentation reports on the main findings of an ESRC-funded project that aimed to examine the behavioural and attitudinal effects of English plastic bag charge that was introduced in October 2015.

The project consisted of a longitudinal, mixed-methods programme of work, including a longitudinal survey, a diary-interview study, and supermarket observations. For all three elements data were collected in England before and after the introduction of the charge, and at the same times in Wales and/or Scotland who served as comparators.

The study found that the charge was highly effective at reducing plastic bag use. People found it easy to change their practices to adapt to the charge.

The study further found that people not only became supportive of a plastic bag charge after it was introduced, they also became more supportive of other charges to reduce waste. In particular, those who changed their optinion about the plastic bag charge also changed their opinion about other charges.

Wouter Poortinga is Professor of Environmental Psychology at the Welsh School of Architecture and the School of Psychology, Cardiff University.

My UQYAP Journey

Venue: Carrillo Gantner Theatre, Sidney Myer Asia Centre

Presenters: Professor Jeffrey Rosenthal

Jeffrey Rosenthal Public Lecture

This talk will discuss randomness and probability, to answer such questions as:
Just how unlikely is it to win a lottery jackpot?
If you flip 100 coins, how close will the number of heads be to 50?
How many dying patients must be saved to demonstrate that a new medical drug is effective?
Why do strange coincidences occur so often?
If a poll samples 1,000 people, how accurate are the results?
How did statistics help to expose the Ontario Lottery Retailer Scandal?
If two babies die in the same family without apparent cause, should the parents be convicted of murder?
Why do casinos always make money, even though gamblers sometimes win and sometimes lose?

And how is all of this related to Monte Carlo Algorithms, an extremely popular and effective method for scientific computing? No mathematical background is required to attend.

Professor Jeffrey Rosenthal is a professor in the Department of Statistics at the University of Toronto.

What can be done if a future US President withdraws from, or attempts to undermine from within, the Paris Climate Agreement? It is a question that has tragically become all too important with the election of Donal Trump. It is a critical question for an agreement which relies on universal participation for legitimacy and to create a ‘market signal’.

The US can, and likely will, withdraw from either the Paris Climate Agreement (4 years) or the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC, 1 year). For now, the Paris Agreement is vulnerable to the recalcitrance of the US, or any other major party. It possesses no non-party measures or effective compliance mechanism, although it can be amended to remedy this Achilles heel. Through amendments to Article 6 a market link between subnational states in the US and international carbon markets could be created. Ideally, a more semi-global approach with punitive trade measures could be taken to help US-proof an alternative climate agreement or ‘climate club’. The Paris Agreement will be vulnerable to a renegade US unless amendments to the treaty are made or outside actions are taken. Relying on the good will of a single president is short-sighted. Longer-term climate governance needs to take seriously the threat of non-parties, particularly if they are superpowers.

Dr Luke Kemp is a lecturer in climate and environmental policy at both the Fenner School of Environment and Society and Crawford School of Public Policy at the ANU.

What can be done if a future US President withdraws from, or attempts to undermine from within, the Paris Climate Agreement? It is a question that has tragically become all too important with the election of Donal Trump. It is a critical question for an agreement which relies on universal participation for legitimacy and to create a ‘market signal’.

The US can, and likely will, withdraw from either the Paris Climate Agreement (4 years) or the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC, 1 year). For now, the Paris Agreement is vulnerable to the recalcitrance of the US, or any other major party. It possesses no non-party measures or effective compliance mechanism, although it can be amended to remedy this Achilles heel. Through amendments to Article 6 a market link between subnational states in the US and international carbon markets could be created. Ideally, a more semi-global approach with punitive trade measures could be taken to help US-proof an alternative climate agreement or ‘climate club’. The Paris Agreement will be vulnerable to a renegade US unless amendments to the treaty are made or outside actions are taken. Relying on the good will of a single president is short-sighted. Longer-term climate governance needs to take seriously the threat of non-parties, particularly if they are superpowers.

Dr Luke Kemp is a lecturer in climate and environmental policy at both the Fenner School of Environment and Society and Crawford School of Public Policy at the ANU.

Venue: Singapore Theatre, Basement, Melbourne School of Design

Presenters: Professor Michael Grubb

The energy sector globally has entered an era of radical transition. Driven by combinations of technological change and environmental concerns from the local to the global, the change is most obvious in the electricity sector but will spread far more widely. Government policy may help or hinder the transition, but the momentum including from pro-active businesses and social movements make it ultimately unstoppable.

Drawing on Professor Grubb’s book Planetary Economics: energy, climate change and the three domains of sustainable development, this talk maps out the theory, sketches emerging experiences, and offers some initial lessons for a transition which – if handled well – can leave the 21st Century cleaner, smarter, and wealthier.

Michael Grubb is Professor of International Energy and Climate Change Policy at University College London (Institute of Sustainable Resources) and Senior Advisor to the UK Office of Gas and Electricity Markets (the Energy Regulator OFGEM).
