Over the last few years there have been thousands of people migrating from parts of Africa or from war-torn Syria, among other countries, to various parts of Europe. Michael Doyle, Professor at Columbia University's School of International and Public Affairs and Visiting Scholar at University of Pennsylvania's Perry World House, says the average time a refugee is in exile is about 18 years. Michael joins host Dan Loney on Knowledge@Wharton to discuss his recent workshop, “Model International Mobility Declaration”, which focused on ways to address and improve the standards and regulations governing those moving between borders, whether as visitors, workers, entrepreneurs, refugees, victims of trafficking, et cetera, and fill in key gaps in international law.

Sometimes designed objects reject their users: a computer mouse that doesn't work for left-handed people, for example, or something as simple as color choices can render a product unusable for millions. These mismatches are the building blocks of exclusion. In her book "Mismatch: How Inclusion Shapes Design", Kat Holmes describes how design can lead to exclusion, and how inclusive design methods can be a source of innovation and growth, especially for digital technologies. Host Dan Loney talks with Kat about her book on Knowledge@Wharton.

Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders has announced his candidacy for President of the United States in 2020. His policy agenda includes a single payer healthcare system, "Medicare for All.” Under this plan, the current system, including Medicare and Medicaid, would go away, with some exceptions for elective procedures. This proposal has been controversial because of the high costs of implementing such a government program that covers all Americans. But could a national health insurance program work for the United States? Host Dan Loney talks with Mark Pauly, a Professor of Health Care Management and Professor of Business Economics and Public Policy at the Wharton School, and Rob Field, a Professor of Law and Professor of Health Management and Policy at Drexel University and lecturer in Wharton’s Healthcare Management Department, to find out more about the possibilities of shaking up US health care systems on Knowledge@Wharton.
