Interview Subjects with Seasonal or Political Depression in Greenpoint

Greenpoint Filmmaker Seeking Interview Subjects re: Winter/Political Depression Hi r/greenpoint I'm a local filmmaker working on a video essay about the "Winter Solstice" that examines the theme of finding light in a moment of darkness from multiple perspectives. I'm looking to interview people who experience Seasonal Affective Disorder/Winter Blues as the darkness sets in and/or people who are feeling similar feelings of depression as the darkness of our political climate deepens. These would be very informal, free floating conversations, no big crew or time commitment. Would just involve us meeting up for a few minutes to have a quick chat on camera.

US State Parks With Winter Activities for National Geographic

1. National Geographic - State Parks to visit in winter I’m working on a piece for National Geographic about State Parks across the US to visit this winter.

This includes (but not limited to): - Indigenous guardians and territorial defenders - Park rangers and frontline protectors - Former loggers or miners who switched sides - Scientists working on restoration, connectivity, species recovery, or climate tipping points - Community leaders building sustainable economic alternatives - COP30 experts - Anyone fighting illegal extraction, roads, or dams Who are the crucial voices I need to include? Please tag them below or share this post directly. I'd be honored to amplify the work of people on the ground making a difference. The series is tentatively scheduled to launch in February 2026.

US Faculty Perspectives on Campus Culture Shift - NYT

There has been a shift in campus culture. We want to hear from faculty members across the United States. The Trump administration and its conservative allies are trying to change the culture of American universities. Academia has a long tradition of resisting outside interference, but many institutions are still making changes, whether it is dissolving diversity, equity and inclusion offices or seeking to increase “viewpoint diversity” on campuses. We are wondering how the changing political and financial climate is already touching classrooms and laboratories and what this means in the day-to-day lives of faculty members across the country. Have you changed how you approach your job? *This could refer to how you do research, talk to students or teach, like deciding what's on the syllabus or the assignments for your classes. Do you think the ways college campuses are changing are beneficial or harmful to academia?

Case Studies in Global South Structural Design for Dezeen

I'm excited to share my latest opinion piece on Dezeen. Inspired by my favorite structure in the Philippines, I call for greater recognition of local designers in the Global South. These people realized structural and architectural marvels that rival our most celebrated prevents, but it is nearly impossible to learn anything about them outside of local archives and first hand accounts. This is not only a call to expand the canon, but also a suggestion that climate-conscious design has a lot to learn from the Global South. Please reach out if you have any thoughts or similar stories to share. This is part of an ongoing project to document and explore lesser known precedents in creative structural design, and I am always looking for new sources of inspiration. I'm forever grateful to The OpEd Project and The Paul & Daisy Soros Fellowships for New Americans for their support and guidance on this piece.
