RadioIP with Levi and Tim, Tuesday, March 9, 2010: Online social media has brought the digitization of our lives to new heights in just a few short years with the explosion of tools like Facebook and the adoption of Internet-ready smart-phones. But all of this information sharing comes at a price: privacy. UC Santa Barbara Computer Science Professor Dr. Ben Zhao joins us to discuss the privacy implications in the wide world of Web 2.0. Listen to the show here.
Following the news, Elizabeth Robinson and Jordan Camp speak with Professor Rebecca N. Hill about her book Men, Mobs, and Law: Anti-Lynching and Labor Defense in U.S. Radical History (Duke University Press, 2009). She is Associate Professor in the Department of Social Science at the Borough of Manhattan Community College, City University of New York.

On Tuesday’s “Intents & Purposes” broadcast, Levi Maaia and Tim Grigsby spoke with the director of UCSB’s Meso American Research Center and the recipient of the 2000 Rolex Award for Enterprise, Dr. Anabel Ford. Says the hosts of their guest, “Dr. Ford has dedicated years to the study of the ancient city of El Pilar. This historic Maya community sits on the border of Guatemala and Belize. Dr. Ford contests, contrary to many of her colleagues, that El Pilar is a model of the sustainable practice of ‘forest gardening.’ She and her team have worked diligently to study, understand and preserve this early gem.”
