Sharing systems thinking in our ongoing advocacy

As our world grieves in the aftermath of the horrific murder of George Floyd, I have become extremely grateful for the knowledge about systematic racism my education at UW has afforded me. My greatest takeaway from this class was learning to think systematically about the world food system, which allowed me to realize how everything from climate change to land grabs to severe income inequality in the food distribution chain levies a disproportionate impact on people of color in their struggle to access affordable and healthy food. Through course content such as Lester R. Brown’s “Full Planet Empty Plates” we have learned that there is an abundance of food in America, yet the reason so many of our citizens go hungry is because of a lack of income, and ultimately, a lack of privilege in our capitalist system leading to the harshest impacts of food insecurity to be felt by POC and BIPOC communities.

Systematic impact of the Pandemic on our food system.

                         

Examples of the disproportionate impact felt by communities of color.

 

Much of my undergraduate education has been focused on race relations in the America, and I was able to incorporate this knowledge into my group work with Our Climate this quarter. We were given the opportunity to meet with Representative Tina Orwall, who has been a champion for racial equity throughout her career. We were able to advocate for bold, equitable climate change policy with a focus on the disparate impact of climate change on poor people of color. Representative Orwall was extremely receptive to our goals and told us that we had taught her new things about racism in the ecological system. From this, I became cognizant of my power of advocacy and sharing information, as Representative Orwall was able to get us in contact with other relevant politicians and added that she would further research and incorporate our findings into her agenda. Now as we are in the midst of a widespread Black Lives Matter movement, I find myself again as an advocate, and I have similarly been able to share useful information about the systematic racism in the world food system as part of the widespread sharing of resources against racism we are seeing. Just as we have achieved recent policy changes by educating our fellow advocates and putting pressure on our politicians, we are slowly dismantling systematic racism, and I am confident that if we can keep pressure on, we can one day create a just and equitable ecological system for all.

  12. نصب دو ورژن از اپلیکیشن شاد
    با توجه به به‌روزرسانی‌های اخیر اپلیکیشن شاد، امکان استفاده همزمان از چندین حساب کاربری در این برنامه فراهم شده است. در گذشته، برای استفاده از دو حساب کاربری شاد در یک دستگاه، نیاز به نصب دو نسخه مجزا از اپلیکیشن یا استفاده از نرم‌افزارهای کلونینگ بود.

  13. ساخت کانال در برنامه شاد
    برنامه شاد، به عنوان پلتفرم اصلی آموزش مجازی در ایران، امکانات متنوعی را برای تعامل بین معلمان، دانش‌آموزان و والدین فراهم کرده است. یکی از این امکانات، قابلیت ایجاد کانال است که به معلمان اجازه می‌دهد تا به صورت یک‌طرفه، محتواهای آموزشی، اطلاعیه‌ها و تکالیف را با مخاطبان خود به اشتراک بگذارند. علاوه بر ایجاد نظم در فضای آموزشی، به معلمان کمک می‌کند تا به طور موثرتر با دانش‌آموزان خود در ارتباط باشند و فرآیند یادگیری را تسهیل کنند.

  14. استعلام کد ملی اشخاص با نام و نام خانوادگی
    به تنهایی، به دلیل احتمال بالای تشابه اسمی در ایران، امکان‌پذیر نیست. برای انجام استعلام دقیق و جلوگیری از خطا یا سوءاستفاده، ارائه اطلاعات تکمیلی مانند نام پدر، تاریخ تولد، محل تولد و در صورت امکان، شماره شناسنامه به مراجع ذی‌صلاح الزامی است.

    در گذشته و پیش از راه‌اندازی اپلیکیشن مستقل شاد، امکان ورود به شبکه آموزشی شاد از طریق بات شاد در پیام‌رسان‌های روبیکا، بله، سروش و آی گپ وجود داشت. مدیران مدارس یکی از این پیام‌رسان‌ها را انتخاب و به دانش‌آموزان اعلام می‌کردند. سپس دانش‌آموزان با نصب پیام‌رسان مربوطه و جستجوی بات شاد (@shadbot) می‌توانستند با وارد کردن اطلاعات هویتی، به کلاس‌های درس خود در شبکه شاد دسترسی پیدا کنند. این روش با توجه به راه‌اندازی اپلیکیشن اختصاصی شاد، منسوخ شده است و در حال حاضر کاربردی ندارد.
