Next was a fascinating talk by Megan Hofmann on developing a digital infrastructure for machine knitting to create complex textile structures at the Network Science Institute. Highly recommend https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P-pN7soxGJ8

Next was a thought-provoking discussion on how emerging economies can effectively engage with global trade with Amit Khandelwal, Isabela Manelici, and Arvind Subramanian on the VoxDev podcast https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NEp71gfkd_o

Next was a fantastic conversation with Shaolei Ren on the AI supply chain's climate and health impact at the Peterson Institute for International Economics. Ren boils down the research into extremely relatable metrics, illustrating the carbon and water cost of current AI development approaches. Highly recommend https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n6sh6HCTOig

Next was an important panel on Dalit feminist perspectives on caste and society at CRASSH with Manuela Ciotti, Rupali Bansode, Shannon Philip, Meera Jatav, and Priyanka Kotamraju. Jatav's account of her experience starting an independent newspaper was particularly powerful. Highly recommend https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dkgQAecFvF8

Next was a vital panel on how caste and race manifests, evolves, and reproduces through emotions at CRASSH with Eduardo Bonilla-Silva, Hugo Gorringe, Gopal Guru, and Jusmeet S. Sihra. This is a deep exploration of how people experience caste and racial hierarchies and what it will actually take to dismantle them. Highly recommend https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YJSgMXMEBis

Last was a great symposium at UC Berkeley on new directions in labor studies with talks by William Darwell (political theory of work), Kristy Kim (impact of pensions on workforce participation), and Vera Parra (automotive supply chain union organizing in North America) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sUKlKGeMl9U
