About VIEW to the U: An eye on UTM academic community
We are based at the University of Toronto Mississauga (UTM) campus. Telling one UTM story at a time.
Interviews are conducted, hosted, edited, and produced by Carla DeMarco. Original music by Tim Lane.
I wish to acknowledge this land on which the University of Toronto Mississauga operates. For thousands of years it has been the traditional land of the Huron-Wendat, the Seneca, and the Mississaugas of the Credit. Today, this meeting place is still the home to many Indigenous people from across Turtle Island and along with being lucky enough to encounter the amazing researchers that I do, I am truly grateful to have the opportunity to work on this land.

Creator and current host of VIEW to the U (VTTU) Carla DeMarco is embarking on a secondment with the Office of the Vice-Provost, Students at U of T St. George.
VTTU might return in some iteration, as yet TBD.
But for now, Carla is hanging up her headphones, and handing back the audio equipment. Please stay tuned and stay subscribed for further updates and episodes.
This last recording is just a big love letter from Carla to all the supporters and participants who made the show what it is.
Thank you!

Scott Jess and Lindsay Schoenbohm
Creating more equitable environments in academia
On this episode of VIEW to the U, guests are Profs Scott Jess and Lindsay Schoenbohm – Lindsay is a faculty member in UTM's Department of Chemical and Physical Sciences, where she has served as its Chair since 2019, and Scott, a former postdoc in Lindsay’s lab, is currently a faculty member in the School of the Environment at Washington State University.
Over the course of this interview, Scott and Lindsay talk a bit about their field – geosciences and how they got into this particular area of research – but also their motivations for partnering up for a very profound collaboration that they undertook: “A Demographic Survey of Canadian Academic Geosciences.” Their “Demographic Trends in Canadian Academic Geoscience” report was published in 2023.
The findings in this report are stark, and, as will be discussed, focus primarily in relation to the state of Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion – or what’s commonly referred to as “EDI” or DEI – in geosciences, however, the statistics, which are not widely available in Canada – one of the reasons Scott spearheaded this research with Lindsay and Emily Heer from the University of Calgary in the first place.

Tina Malti
Kids, kindness, and community
On this episode of VIEW to the U, Tina Malti, a faculty member in the Department of Psychology, and the Director of the Centre for Child Development, Mental Health, and Policy – or CCDMP for short - talks about her work at CCDMP, which was established in 2019, and for which she is the Founding Director.
But Tina is a world-renowned expert, whose contributions to child mental health and development extends over the past two decades. Prior to the birth of CCDMP, in 2010 she established the Laboratory for Social-Emotional Development and Intervention (SEDI), which seeks to explore the roots and ramifications of kindness and aggression in children. She discusses some of her findings related to children’s mental health and also offers a few suggestions for fostering more empathy in people.
And, in conjunction with our theme for this season of the podcast, Tina also talks about the benefits of community-engaged scholarship and how it differs from traditional scientific research. She also shares some of the unexpected but extremely valuable outcomes that she’s seen in her research over time in working with various communities, as well as what she sees on the horizon for her field.
