SUMMARY:"Social media and social justice in Israel: Sounding the voice of the marginalized" by Prof. Amit Schejter\, Ben-Gurion University of the Negev
DESCRIPTION:Date: Tuesday\, March 1\n Time: 12 – 1 pm\n Location: Room 250\, Sutardja Dai Hall\n Title: “Social media and social justice in Israel: Sounding the voice of the marginalized”\nSpeaker: Prof. Amit Schejter\, Ben-Gurion University of the Negev \nPlease join us for a presentation from Prof. Amit Schejter where he will discuss “Social media and social justice in Israel: Sounding the voice of the marginalized.” \nSummary:\nThe emergence of new means of social media in recent years has made way for both utopian and dystopian discourses regarding their impact on the common good in general and on democratization and social participation in public life in particular. This conversation\, however\, rarely discusses the least advantaged elements of society that have traditionally been sidelined in political discourse. \nRooted in a redistributive justice frame that challenges the accepted utilitarian capitalist normative choices that guide Western societies\, this talk ties a theory of new media to the social justice theories of John Rawls and Amartya Sen and proposes a different prescription for the role of media in contemporary society and for the priorities media policymakers should make in light of new media developments. Using distinct case studies in which the use of media by marginalized groups in Israeli society is highlighted — Bedouins\, Palestinians\, refugees and migrants — the talk demonstrates the role of new media in the life of marginalized communities and their potential.

SUMMARY:Jacobs Design Conversations: Steve Johnson\, “Beyond Pixels: The Hidden Traits of Great Designers”
DESCRIPTION:Date: 3/4/2016\nTime: 12:00pm – 1:00pm\nLocation: 310 Jacobs Hall\, Berkeley\, CA \nRegister to Attend \nAbout Jacobs Design Conversations:\nEach semester\, the Jacobs Institute for Design Innovation invites leading designers and makers to Berkeley to speak as part of the Jacobs Design Conversations series. Connecting diverse perspectives under one roof\, Jacobs Design Conversations are spaces for dialogue on a broad spectrum of innovations and ideas. \nAs part of this series\, Steve Johnson will share his insights with Berkeley’s design innovation community on Friday\, March 4. This event is co-presented with the Berkeley Center for New Media and the UC Berkeley Arts + Design Initiative. The talk will take place at Jacobs Hall\, the Jacobs Institute’s hub for hands-on learning and making. \nAbout Steve Johnson:\nSteve Johnson’s career in user-centered design started as a Skills Trainer with autistic children. By redesigning and tweaking everyday objects for children with mild to severe autism\, he developed a design philosophy focused on observing behaviors\, mapping patterns\, identifying goals and testing key assumptions. After Pacific Autism\, Steve worked in interactive gaming with Electronic Arts\, and later moved to Adobe Systems\, where he led the User Experience Design Group\, a team responsible for Adobe’s Mobile\, Consumer\, and Professional product lines. \nNow with LinkedIn\, Steve leads a multi-disciplinary team of User Experience Design (UED) professionals\, made up of Marketing & Brand Communication Designers\, Voice and Tone Specialists\, User Researchers\, and Product Designers. Responsible for creating experiences across mobile\, desktop and web\, the UED team plays an integral part in improving usability\, growing member engagement\, and increasing revenue across LinkedIn. \nAt the Jacobs Institute\, he will discuss “Beyond Pixels: The Hidden Traits of Great Designers.” \nRegistration and day-of attendance: This lecture-style talk is free and open to the public. While all day-of attendance and seating is first-come\, first-served\, if you register by Monday\, February 29\, you’ll have first priority for lunch on us.

SUMMARY:"The Future of Travel Demand" with Susan Handy\, CITRIS Research Exchange
DESCRIPTION:Auto use is growing globally\, along with the environmental and societal problems it generates\, climate change most notably. A recent slowdown in the growth in vehicle-miles-traveled in the U.S. and Europe\, however\, has raised hopes that some parts of the world may have reached “peak driving.”  What is behind this recent slowdown\, and is it a true or temporary peak?  Answering these questions requires a close look at the behavior underlying these trends and at the numerous economic\, technological\, and cultural changes that are driving changes in travel behavior.  In this presentation\, I share findings from studies from UC Davis and elsewhere on some of the critical changes that are shaping the future of travel demand \nDr. Susan Handy is Chair of the Department of Environmental Science and Policy and the Director of the National Center for Sustainable Transportation at the University of California\, Davis.  She is internationally known for her research on the relationships between transportation and land use\, particularly the impact of neighborhood design on travel behavior.  Her current work focuses on bicycling as a mode of transportation and on strategies for reducing automobile dependence. \nRegister to Attend \n———————— \nFree and open to the public.

SUMMARY:"Mechanical Computing Redux for the Internet of Things" with Tsu-Jae King Liu\, CITRIS Research Exchange
DESCRIPTION:The proliferation of mobile electronic devices and the emergence of applications such as wireless sensor networks and the Internet of Things have brought energy consumption to the fore of challenges for future information-processing devices. The energy efficiency of a digital logic integrated circuit is fundamentally limited by non-zero transistor off-state leakage current. Mechanical switches have zero leakage current and potentially can overcome this fundamental limit. This seminar will describe recent progress toward realizing the promise of ultra-low-power mechanical computing. \nTsu-Jae King Liu received the B.S.\, M.S.\, and Ph.D. degrees in Electrical Engineering from Stanford University. From 1992 to 1996 she was a Member of Research Staff at the Xerox Palo Alto Research Center (Palo Alto\, CA). In August 1996 she joined the faculty of the University of California\, Berkeley\, where she is currently the TSMC Distinguished Professor in Microelectronics\, and Chair of the Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences. Dr. Liu’s research awards include the DARPA Significant Technical Achievement Award (2000) for development of the FinFET\, the IEEE Kiyo Tomiyasu Award (2010) for contributions to nanoscale MOS transistors\, memory devices\, and MEMs devices\, the Intel Outstanding Researcher in Nanotechnology Award (2012)\, and the Semiconductor Industry Association Outstanding Research Award (2014). She has authored or co-authored close to 500 publications and holds over 90 U.S. patents\, and is a Fellow of the IEEE. Her research activities are presently in advanced materials\, process technology and devices for energy-efficient electronics. \nRegister to Attend \n————— \nFree and open to the public.
