To fully take advantage of green technologies, many systems may have to change. And that’s not a bad thing. Green technologies open new possibilities for global production systems—and they could quickly make our current systems look outdated.

This week on the McGill Delve podcast, Professors Michael Raynor (Ivey Business School) and Sanjith Gopalakrishnan (McGill University) make the case for disruptive innovation in our systems. They talk about climate change through the lens of disruption, why “scale” shouldn’t be the only metric for innovation, and how climate-friendly production systems are achievable with less compromise than you might think.

Eric Dicaire, Delve’s managing editor, hosts this episode.

We hear a lot about systemic racism. But what does systemic anti-racism look like?

This week, we’re talking to an expert about how to build anti-racist public organizations.

Alicia Boatswain-Kyte is a social worker and Assistant Professor of Social Work at McGill University. She has published several studies about Black people’s experiences with healthcare, youth services, the justice system, and more. She explains why these institutions often fall short of meeting the needs of Black people. She also challenges us to think differently about how to deliver public services.

The secret, as she explains, is to empower communities – and to let go of racial capitalism.

Eric Dicaire, Delve’s managing editor, hosts this episode. In this conversation we talk about the Black experience when interfacing with public organizations, why public institutions can be so reluctant to change, and the difference between organizing through community and organizing through capitalism.

How do men and women react differently to management? Why do some management practices contribute to gender inequity, even if they’re applied equally across all workers? What can managers do to better support workers of all identities, while maintaining productivity and quality of work?

Roman Galperin, Associate Professor of Organizational Behaviour at McGill University, explores the evidence.

Galperin recently published a study examining how men and women respond to increased monitoring and incentives from their managers. His findings show that, even when applied equally to all workers, some management tactics can further entrench gender inequities. He explains why.

Eric Dicaire, Delve’s managing editor, hosts this episode.
