Duygu Kasdogan
Duygu KasdoganI live in İzmir, Turkey, and am assistant professor in the Division of Urbanization and Environmental Problems at the Department of Political Science and Public Administration at İzmir Katip Çelebi University. I am also part of an STS Research Network in Turkey – IstanbuLab. I can be reached at duygukasdogan@gmail.com
I have been involved in the Transnational STS Working Group. I am interested in fostering transnational organizational capacities in response to disasters.
I am especially interested in the following questions:
- How is COVID-19 coordinational capacity in different settings described, evaluated and explained?
- How are governments - in different settings, at different scales - sharing COVID-19 information?
- How is COVID-19 knowledge and expertise moving across national borders?
- How is the aftermath of COVID-19 crisis being imagined in different settings? How is this shaping beliefs, practices, and policies?

john.hudakThe main point of the article is that a big name organization (The EPA) is taking steps to help the residents of Newark and the Ironbound Community monitor air pollution. Not only is the EPA donating $150,000 worth of equipment, but they are also training volunteers to monitor and mantain the machines so the EPA and the Ironbound Community can gather the information they need. The machines can also be moved around so multiple locations can be sampled and tested.
