SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Water@Michigan October Coffee Talk: Contested Definitions of Environmental Justice in US Federal Policymaking
DESCRIPTION:The concept of environmental justice has become a dominant frame for environmental policy agendas in the US federal government. Administrations from both parties have shifted attention from society-wide benefits and costs of environmental policy to the distribution of benefits and costs\, both for regulation and industrial policy. However\, as concepts of justice rooted in grass-roots advocacy and academia collide with the opportunity structure of federal policymaking and implementation\, environmental justice has gained new meanings\, including definitions rejected by most activists and absent from academic writing. While the adoption of environmental justice discourse is evidence of the movement's impact on policymaking\, the disparate meanings of justice paint a more complex picture of the movement's impact on substantive policy outcomes. This talk addresses how scholars can systematically study the impacts of environmental justice advocacy then the terms of the debate are contested. \n\nCoffee Talks provide a monthly opportunity during the academic year to network\, learn about pressing and emerging water-related issues\, hear about ongoing water-related research\, and meet new partners. In 2024/25\, Water@Michigan Coffee Talks will explore the water-climate nexus.\n\nFor more information about the fall series\, visit the Coffee Talks webpage: https://graham.umich.edu/wateratmichigan/coffee-talks

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Foundations of Community Engagement
DESCRIPTION:Foundations of Community Engagement is an interactive workshop that introduces principles and practices of equitable\, ethical community engagement. Participants will develop a deeper understanding of what the term “community engagement” means\, as well as the many forms it might take - from research and course-based projects to philanthropy\, activism\, policy\, and direct service. Across all these forms of engagement\, participants will learn concepts and actions that promote equitable partnerships\, center community-defined priorities\, and disrupt entrenched power dynamics between universities and community members. Participants will also discuss real-world community engagement scenarios that ask them to apply what they’ve learned in the workshop to various situations.\n\n**This workshop is an updated version of Ginsberg’s long-standing Entering\, Engaging\, and Exiting (E3) session.
