This morning on the show Henry talked with Derek Smith, a Geography Professor here at Carleton University about his research in Newfoundland and the Honduras. His current research project looks at a small fishing community in the Change Islands, and focuses on topographic names of places, their spatial distribution, and the identity and cultural meaning those names convey.
Then, Robyn spoke Ten Thousand Villages store manager Judy Lincoln on the company’s Peace Dove campaign, selling artisan-crafted peace necklaces to raise money for the Cambodian people who have been left disabled as a result of war. They also discussed Ten Thousand Villages’ positive impact within developing nations across the world and how their established connections with Haitian artisans will help get some people get back on their feet.
Finally, we had a couple of visitors, Pat and Steve, from the Carleton University Geographic Association drop by the studio. They talked about their work within Carleton, and some of their upcoming events. You can contact them for more information at cugeogclub(at)gmail.com
