Multimedia
Multimedia Production
Over the past decade Dr. Pezzoli has worked with many people and organizations to create collections containing free publicly available (open access) multimedia featuring a diverse trove of stories, research highlights, events and meritorious strategies involving civic engagement of diverse sorts.
Examples
Video vignettes featuring sustainability success stories. Keith Pezzoli led the production of this Global ARC collection as part of publicized bicycle journey Pezzoli did with a team of colleagues marking the beginning (roll out) of a new nonprofit organization (formally certified as a 501c3 in 2009) called The Global Action Research Center (The Global ARC).
The Journey of the Global ARC 2010
(27 videos, 2010): Starts in Vancouver, Canada and ends in Tijuana, Mexico (spanning three countries and roughly 2000 miles). The collection draws attention to entrepreneurial and community-based solutions (urban and rural projects focused on water, food and energy/transportation) as part of a larger effort to inspire sustainability action research and healthy placemaking.
Global ARC Video Archive
Other collections in the vimeo archive include videos featuring bioregional initiatives, the San Diego Urban-Rural Roundtable, and the World Planning Schools Congress.
Los Laureles Canyon: Research in Action
A 28-minute UCSD-TV documentary (2009) focused on the water/climate/poverty nexus in human settlements along the U.S.-Mexico Border, script and DVD). The documentary has been viewed over 100,000 times from the UCSD-TV web site. It was translated into Spanish; and has been picked up by the NSF for re-broadcast on their Frontier program as part of the Research Channel (a consortium of leading research and academic institutions established to share the fruits of research with the public).

Soil Matters
“Soil Matters” panel recorded as part of UCSD-TV’s UC Climate Solutions Channel. Examines how soil's ability to absorb carbon from the atmosphere can help environmental problems caused by climate change. (#30529)
Resilient Systems for Climate Change – Science Communication Panel
The Regional Workbench
Vision for a multi-disciplinary approach to sustainable development is explored in this tour of the Regional Workbench Consortium, a collaborative partnership directed by Keith Pezzoli that allows users to share the tools they need to improve quality of life and environmental stewardship in the Southern California-Northern Baja California region. (#7244)
Farm to School
Results of a carbon footprint assessment of locally grown organic oranges, in San Diego, CA (compared to imported oranges from Florida) that are provided as a part of a local Farm-to-School program in San Diego.
Food Justice
Panel organized by Keith Pezzoli of UCSD researchers, community gardeners, farmers, planners and others who are working together to improve food systems for environmental and public health.
Art and Storytelling
Story based Communication Portal for Engaged Research (SCOPE)
Researchers in all disciplines must not only communicate their research to the public, they must also work with the public to develop an impactful research agenda that authentically addresses the concerns and needs of communities. Storytelling has a crucial role to play in this context. Storytelling is a good way to approach framing issues and articulate narratives for meaningful communication.
This site contains stories and associated resources as part of an effort at UC San Diego to guide students in learning the craft of storytelling --including the skills needed to effectively communicate with funders, media, public audiences, and to work in deep engagement with the needs of local communities; especially where efforts are underway to eradicate root causes of poverty, environmental degradation and unhealthy living conditions.
