On September 16, 2024, a crucial meeting was held involving key figures like Dr. Vesela Gassner, a renowned Climate Scientist, and Aisha B, discussing an ambitious ebook project set to tackle some of the most pressing global crises. The project, hosted by EssaysUNRWA relief project, aims to create a platform for individuals to share their perspectives on various issues such as the climate crisis, health crisis, and the Sudan genocide, among others.

Understanding the Ebook Project

The project is an open call for contributions of 1500+ word articles providing insights into various global issues. The goal is to shed light on these crises through the lens of individuals who are directly or indirectly affected, breaking the cycle of ‘talking in our own bubbles’ that often plagues such discussions.

“Someone can write about the climate crisis, someone can talk about the health crisis, someone can talk about the Sudan genocide, etc.”

A Meeting of Minds

The meeting, headed by Oliver Wood, centered around the ebook project. Wood is an investigative journalist who has spent 2023/24 monitoring and investigating bias, over-moderation, and censorship on LinkedIn. He is currently working with a company called AI Forensics, which specializes in analyzing online political content and digital rights.

The Role of Dr. Vesela Gassner and Aisha B

Both Dr. Gassner and Aisha B are key contributors to this project. Dr. Gassner, being a Climate Scientist, brings a scientific perspective to the table. On the other hand, Aisha B’s role wasn’t specified in the meeting, but her involvement suggests a diverse range of voices being a part of the project.

Next Steps and Call to Action

Wood is currently looking for people to be interviewed for the study, with AI Forensics’ team members assisting in conducting these. The aim is to get the study public as quickly as possible to attract attention to the issue. If you are interested in being a part of this study or the ebook project, you can contact Oliver Wood via his email with clear references to the study in the subject line.
