Why your doctor should care about social justice | Mary Bassett
In Zimbabwe in the 1980s, Mary Bassett witnessed the AIDS epidemic firsthand, and she helped set up a clinic to treat and educate local people about the deadly virus. But looking back, she regrets not sounding the alarm for the real problem: the structural inequities embedded in the world's political and economic organizations, inequities that make marginalized people more vulnerable. These same structural problems exist in the United States today, and as New York City's Health Commissioner, Bassett is using every chance she has to rally support for health equity and speak out against racism. "We don't have to have all the answers to call for change," she says. "We just need courage."

Majority of US adults believe climate change is most important issue today
As the effects of climate change become more evident, more than half of U.S. adults (56%) say climate change is the most important issue facing society today, yet 4 in 10 have not made any changes in their behavior to reduce their contribution to climate change.
Our willingness to engage in proenvironmental activities reflects how we identify as a part of our social and political ecosystems, as well as how we envision our relationship with science itself.

Who are you, really? The puzzle of personality | Brian Little
Visit http://TED.com to get our entire library of TED Talks, transcripts, translations, personalized talk recommendations and more.
What makes you, you? Psychologists like to talk about our traits, or defined characteristics that make us who we are. But Brian Little is more interested in moments when we transcend those traits — sometimes because our culture demands it of us, and sometimes because we demand it of ourselves. Join Little as he dissects the surprising differences between introverts and extroverts and explains why your personality may be more malleable than you think.

Conceptualizing disability: Three models of disability
Although people have various individual perspectives on disability, these viewpoints can be categorized into three overarching models of disability—moral, medical, and social.
This office raises awareness of disability issues and promotes equal opportunities for persons with disabilities in education and training, research and professional practice.
In this video, we will focus on an open pedagogical practice known as social annotation. One frequently used social annotation tool is Hypothesis, which can enable the sort of collaborative meaning-making that leads to learning.
