SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Analyzing Transportation Equity Impacts using Activity-based Travel Demand Models
DESCRIPTION:Activity-based travel demand models can be useful tools for understanding the individual level equity impacts of regional transportation plans\, because of their ability to generate transportation measures at disaggregate (individual and household) levels. There are numerous population and environmental (transportation and land-use) factors that together shape the transportation equity outcomes for individuals. In a real world setting\, for example\, one’s income level\, age\, gender\, ethnicity\, residential location\, work location\, and access to various travel modes all play key roles in determining how one is affected by the transportation system. In such a complex system where numerous population\, land-use\, and transportation factors are at play\, the influence of these factors on distributional outcomes can seem impossible to disentangle. In this presentation\, I will discuss the usefulness of decomposing transportation equity outcomes using a set of distributional comparisons and scenario analyses. This demonstration uses the 2000 Bay Area Travel Survey and (activity-based) mode choice model. The findings show that activity based models in conjunction with distributional comparisons are capable of revealing the population and environmental factors that result in clear “winners and losers” due to transportation changes.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Economic Development
DESCRIPTION:Abstract:\nTourism is a fast-growing services sector in developing countries. This paper combines a rich collection of Mexican microdata with a quantitative spatial equilibrium model and a new empirical strategy to study the long-term economic consequences of tourism both locally and in the aggregate. We find that tourism causes large and significant local economic gains relative to less touristic regions that are in part driven by significant positive spillovers on manufacturing. In the aggregate\, however\, these local spillovers are largely offset by reductions in agglomeration economies among less touristic regions\, so that the national gains from tourism are mainly driven by a classical market integration effect.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:\"Plasticity to Stability of Development:Studies of Cell Death and Cell Survival in the Auditory Brainstem\"
DESCRIPTION:Edwin W Rubel\, Virginia Merrill Bloedel Hearing Research Center\, Department of Otolaryngology- Head and Neck Surgery\, Department of Physiology and Biophysics\, University of Washington\, Seattle\n\nSince the classic experiments of Hamburger\, Levi-Montalcini\, and Hubel & Wiesel\, a large variety of studies have shown that manipulations of peripheral input and sensory experience can have profound influences on the development of sensory encoding pathways of the central nervous system. We have used the brainstem auditory pathways of birds and mammals to investigate the early cellular events underlying deprivation- and deafferentation-induced changes in the structure and integrity of neurons and glial cells. Our work in this area uses a variety of methodologies on in vivo and in vitro preparations of the brainstem to address three issues related to activity-regulated development and maintenance of auditory brainstem neurons. What is the nature of the intercellular signals regulating structural integrity of postsynaptic neurons? What are some of the intracellular cascades of events underlying deprivation-induced changes in neuronal integrity? What biological mechanisms may underlie developmental differences in responses to peripheral manipulations (critical periods)? I will briefly summarize our approach to these problems and then discuss recent and ongoing experiments focused toward understanding the differential susceptibility of neonatal and adult sensory systems to neuronal death due to deprivation of afferent activity (a critical period) using normal and transgenic mice\, and microarray technology.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Alaska\, Binford\, and Landscape Modeling: Approximating the Shift to Logistical Mobility During Alaskan Prehistory
DESCRIPTION:Through the lens of Binford's forager-collector model and based on site\ndistribution data\, the speaker will present preliminary evidence for an earlier\ntransition from foraging to collecting subsistence strategies than has been\npreviously suggested for Central Alaska. Seasonally-abundant resources like\nsalmon and caribou offered prehistoric Central Alaskans an incredible\nsubsistence opportunity\, particularly if stored. Clarifying the timing and causes of\nthe transition to logistical mobility will permit a more accurate reconstruction of\nAlaskan prehistory and contribute to a broader understanding of such\nsubsistence transitions among prehistoric hunter-gatherer. The speaker asks\nattendees to help her workshop these ideas\, which will ultimately culminate in her\npre-doctoral research paper.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:CJS Noon Lecture Series | Japanese Imperial Maps: Collections of Gaihozu in Japan and in the United States
DESCRIPTION:The word Gaihozu originally meant maps of foreign countries produced by the Japanese military up until the end of World War II. However\, this term is frequently applied now to maps of Taiwan\, Korea and Kwantung Province produced by its colonial governments. In this presentation\, the word Gaihozu denotes both of them. Professor Kobayashi will trace the history of the gathering of geographical information in East Asia by the Japanese military\, and investigate the destruction\, preservation\, and study of Gaihozu in the post-World War II era\, drawing upon his research in collections held in various locations in Japan and the United States.\n\nShigeru Kobayashi is a Professor at Osaka University of Tourism and Professor Emeritus at Osaka University\, Japan. He received his M.A. and Ph.D. in literature from Kyoto University. He has extensive teaching experience in Liberal Arts\, Literature\, and Human Geography\, and has taught at Kyushu University\, National Museum of Ethnology\, and Osaka University. His research interests lie in cultural geography and cultural ecology. His main goal is to understand long-term transition of the relationship between human and environment.  He especially focuses on use of resources in agriculture and livestock farming and examines the impact of natural disaster and epidemics.

SUMMARY:Presentation:P&SC Brown Bag: Understanding the development of callous unemotional traits and antisocial behavior
DESCRIPTION:Youth antisocial behavior\, which includes violence\, rule-breaking\, and substance use\, represents a major public health concern because of the negative economic\, social\, and health effects it has on perpetrators\, victims\, and families. To better understand its developmental origins\, we need to improve our characterization of the heterogeneity within antisocial behavior. My talk will focus on a dimension within antisocial behavior defined by high levels of callous unemotional (CU) traits\, which comprises low empathy and guilt and a lack of caring about others\, and predicts particularly severe and chronic aggression and rule-breaking across development. I will present research examining the origins of CU traits\, focusing on early childhood given that this developmental period heralds the emergence of individual differences in empathy\, guilt\, and conscience. My work evaluates the meaning and measurement of CU behaviors in early childhood and their role as a developmental precursor to CU traits and severe behavior problems later in childhood. I will also present findings from my work examining the importance of context and the environment to the development of CU behaviors\, with a particular focus on parenting practices. The talk will conclude with a summary of my recent research modeling the interaction of context and biology over time and how specific environmental\, neural\, and genetic risk factors interact to increase the risk that children develop CU behaviors and more severe antisocial behavior.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Access to Law for Reporters: How PACER Impedes (and Enables) Journalism
DESCRIPTION:Sarah Jeong\, a journalist trained as a lawyer\, covers how access to law affects reporters\, and why open access is important for better journalism. The PACER system (Public Access to Court Electronic Records) is the source of many reported stories in the media\, from true crime to science features to cute items about monkeys taking selfies. But its gated interface and clunky architecture throw a lot of hurdles in the way. \n\nThis event is in celebration of Open Access Week (October 24-30\, 2016)\, a global event to increase awareness about the importance of access to information.\n\nJeong is a contributing editor at Vice Motherboard who writes about technology\, policy\, and law. She is the author of The Internet of Garbage\, and has bylines at the Atlantic\, the Verge\, Forbes\, the Guardian\, Slate\, WIRED\,Vice Magazine\, and Bitch Magazine. She graduated from Harvard Law School in 2014. As a law student\, she edited the Harvard Journal of Law & Gender\, and worked at the Electronic Frontier Foundation and at the Berkman Center for Internet & Society. She is a Poynter Fellow in Journalism at Yale for 2016\, and also currently a fellow at the Internet Law & Policy Foundry.
