An image of the cover for an episode of the Doing Social Research podcast titled "Researching Extractivism in Mining and in Scholarship with Dr. Willow Scobie". The cover includes a map of Canada overlain to the left with an image of a White woman in a hat and sunglasses with a blue and white striped shirt within a photo frame that looks like a cell phone; in the middle with a graphic of two pickaxes forming an X, perhaps evoking a hammer & sickle, and to the upper right, an image of two people in the arctic in a photo frame that looks like a smart watch. The Doing Social research logo is in the top left of the canvas.
Images of handouts observed at the 56th Annual Ottawa Lapsmith & Mineral Club (OLMC) Gem and Mineral Show, September 22, 2024 at a booth sponsored by the Geology Rocks “club,” a project organized by the Mining Matters organization, founded by the Mining Association of British Columbia in 1990. One image is titled "A breakdown of the critical metals in a smartphone" and includes the text "Some vital metals used to build these devices are considered at risk due to geological scarcity, geopolitical issues or trade policy. This infographic details the critical metals that you carry in your pocket." The other image is of a cellphone broken down into its constituent parts. The image teases out the quote in a bubble and also notes that the metals in a smartphone image includes mention of being "in partnership with Prospecters & Developers Association of Canada (PDAC)."
