When people are under economic stress, their pets suffer too – we found parts of Detroit that are animal welfare deserts

Image
Nearly two-thirds of U.S. households have at least one pet. More than ever before, companion animals are a part of life – particularly in cities, where the majority of Americans live. Cities offer access to many resources, but often it’s not distributed evenly. Some scholars describe parts of U.S. cities with few or no grocery stores as food deserts. Others have identified zones they call transit deserts, where reliable and convenient public transit is scarce or nonexistent. While the “desert” framing is controversial, there is little disagreement that access to goods and services in many U.S. cities is unequal. I have studied urban...... Read Full article on HadNews

a moving marriage of local and international works – with Indigenous voices front and centre

Image
Between COVID, increasing production and transport costs, and changing audience tastes, the country’s largest arts festivals have had to rebadge themselves. Festivals in Melbourne, Sydney, Brisbane and Perth have all undergone major cultural shifts – generally away from internationalism. The new kid on the block, Hobart’s Dark Mofo, offered a brew of Tasmanian winter funkiness. This vision was transferred to Melbourne’s Rising Festival in the wake of lockdowns. This leaves the Adelaide Festival, founded in 1960, as the venerable grandparent of the region’s art festivals. Against the odds, the Adelaide Festival continues to offer a ca......

True Love — and the Myth of “Happily Ever After” | Francesca Hogi | TED In the TED talk "True Love — and the Myth of 'Happily Ever After'," relationship expert Francesca Hogi challenges the fairytale industrial complex that has been feeding us the myth of "happily ever after."

Do we want a wind farm outside our window? What Australians think about the net zero transition

Image
A paradox lies at the heart of Australian public opinion about climate change. While there is clear general support for substantial government action to achieve net zero emissions by 2050, there is also strong concern about the local impacts of new renewable energy infrastructure. The rise of protest groups in regional Australia objecting to the installation of wind farms and transmission lines, in particular, presents a serious challenge to the Albanese government in communicating the importance of the net zero transition to the public. In principle it seems that Australians strongly support this transition. In a poll for the Aust...... Read Full article on HadNews
