SUMMARY:"Working for Nothing: The Latest Fast-Growth Sector?"
DESCRIPTION:Corporate profits have never been higher\, at a time when the real unemployment has soared.  Have bosses learned how to get by without workers? Not really\, but the evidence suggests a growing reliance on new kinds of free labor to boost the balance sheet of companies that are canny enough to harvest it. Free\, or token-wage\, labor is increasingly available though a variety of channels: crowdsourcing\, data-mining\, prosumerism\,  or other sophisticated digital techniques for extracting rents from user/participants; expanded prison labor programs; the explosion of unpaid near-obligatory internships in every white-collar sector; and the whole gamut of contestant volunteering that has transformed so much of our commerce in culture into an amateur talent show\, with jackpot stakes for a few winners and hard-luck schwag for everyone else.

SUMMARY:Book Talk: "Urban Sustainability in the Age of Climate Justice: Lessons from Metro Phoenix"
DESCRIPTION:Thoughtful people look to cities for evidence that progress is being made in the fight to avert climate change. The “sustainable cities” movement is thriving all across the world\, and mayors compete for the title of “greenest city in America.” In this lecture\, drawing on his own research in the metro Phoenix area\, Andrew Ross shows that the key solutions are more social than technical in nature. Marketing a green lifestyle to affluent residents will create showpiece sustainable enclaves\, but will not alter the patterns of “eco-apartheid” that afflicts most large U.S. cities.\nRoss’s new book\, Bird On Fire\, based on extensive interviews in the region\, looks at some of Phoenix’s biggest challenges–water management\, urban growth\, immigration policy\, pollution\, energy supply\, and downtown revitalization–in light of his arguments for policies that promote environmental justice.
