MODERATORS
 

When STEM tutorial YouTube channels were “popping off” in the early 2010s, Uytae Lee wondered how he could address the lack of comprehensive videos dedicated to teaching people about their cities.

“If people can make physics so compelling and interesting, surely we can make transit policy interesting,” said Lee, now a UBC journalism adjunct professor.

If you’re a connoisseur of all things local policy, — finding the solution to gentrification, bringing back front yard businesses, considering a non-capitalist approach to housing shortages — you may well have already run into Lee’s work before. He’s the mind behind the YouTube channel About Here. In his corner of the internet, Lee taps into virtually any issue that public buzz is attending to at a given moment.
