Jutta Gutberlet
Waste pickers hit hard by pandemic
UVic geographer Jutta Gutberlet, who works with waste-pickers—or binners, as they’re often called— in Victoria and Brazil says the COVID-19 pandemic has hit this population hard. On Earth Day, Gutberlet talks about her efforts to share health information to help keep these workers, who play an important role in diverting waste from landfill, safe.
Grassroots movements shift approach to recycling
Dare Sholanke, a recent geography master’s grad, studied Vancouver’s waste governance system, examining binners' (informal recyclers) and the role of grassroots organizations in municipal waste management.
Passion for people
The Ring
Geographer Jutta Gutberlet and psychologist Jim Tanaka have devoted their careers to helping others—especially children and families and those who live in poverty. As the 2018 recipients of the Provost's Engaged Scholar Award, their commitment to communities locally and internationally will be celebrated at a March ceremony.
