The 34th Graham Hovey Lecture

“Seeing Green: The Business and Inequity of Climate Change” with McKenzie Funk

While the issue of climate change rises in importance to the U.S. electorate, players in energy, banking and business are cashing in on the environmental crisis. McKenzie Funk, 2012 Knight-Wallace Fellow, is the author of “Windfall: The Booming Business of Global Warming.” Join him for a critical discussion of drought, rising seas, profiteering, and the hardest truth about climate change: It’s not equally bad for everyone.

Funk writes for Harper’s, National Geographic, Rolling Stone, Outside, The New York Times Magazine and the London Review of Books. His 2014 book “Windfall” won a PEN Literary Award and was named a book of the year by The New Yorker, Mother Jones, Salon and Amazon.com. A National Magazine Award and Livingston Award finalist, Funk won the Oakes Prize for Environmental Journalism for his reporting on the melting Arctic and has received fellowships at the Open Society Foundations and MacDowell Colony for his forthcoming work on data and privacy.

Funk studied philosophy and comparative literature at Swarthmore College and capitalism and the paradigm of endless growth as a 2012 Knight-Wallace Journalism Fellow at the University of Michigan. He speaks five languages and is a native of the Pacific Northwest, where he lives with his wife and sons.

The annual Graham Hovey Lecture recognizes a Knight-Wallace journalist whose career exemplifies the benefits of a fellowship at the University of Michigan and whose ensuing work is at the forefront of national conversation. The event is named for the late Graham Hovey, director of the fellowship program from 1980 to 1986 and a distinguished journalist for The New York Times.

The Community of Food, Society, and Justice Conference (October 18, 2019 8:00am) https://events.umich.edu/event/63979 63979-16051362@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Friday, October 18, 2019 8:00am
Location: East Quadrangle
Organized By: Residential College

The ways that we meet the nutritional needs of our communities, while also protecting the planet, promoting healthy lives, and ensuring food justice are among the greatest challenges facing our Nation and the world today. Centuries of unsustainable agricultural practices and inequitable food distribution place our food systems in peril. How to address these challenges and feed a hungry population raise transformative issues for our communities and academics committed to sustainability and food justice throughout the world.

The Community of Food, Society & Justice Conference will engage students, faculty, staff, farmers, and the community in rigorous dialogue around these challenges. The conference will be structured around a foundation of interdisciplinary scholarship that agrees that recognizing structural relations of power are necessary in order to confront race, class, and gender privileges on issues such as food justice.

Our keynote speaker is investigative reporter, Tracie McMillan, traciemcmillan.com, author of The American Way of Eating: Undercover at Walmart, Applebee’s, Farm Fields and the Dinner Table, and “The New Face of Hunger”.

Location: Dana Natural Resources Building
Organized By: President's Commission on Carbon Neutrality

The President's Commission on Carbon Neutrality Commuting Analysis team is holding a town hall to discuss their key findings on where the University of Michigan faculty, staff, and students commute from, how they do it, and how the University improve upon it.

Key topics of interest include housing, promoting alternatives to driving, improvements to the carpool and vanpool programs, parking, lowering the carbon intensity of the commute, and campus land-use planning.

The team plans to give a 10-20 minute presentation covering their key findings and methodology followed by an hour of breakout sessions.

The team has 2 goals: 1) to inform the campus community about our progress and remain accountable, and 2) to find any overlooked angles in our research.

We look forward to hearing what the campus community has to say about their commute! All current University of Michigan faculty, staff, and students are encouraged to attend.

Light refreshments provided.

Location: Rackham Graduate School (Horace H.)
Organized By: School for Environment and Sustainability

The School for Environment and Sustainability honors the 30th Anniversary of the “Incidence of Environmental Hazards Conference,” which helped put environmental justice (EJ) on the national radar for the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). Building on the momentum of the 1990 conference, the University of Michigan soon became the first university to establish environmental justice as an academic field of study.

Looking forward, the Michigan Environmental Justice Summit 2020 will take lessons from the past and look towards the future. The event will highlight the challenges and opportunities now—and for the future—of environmental justice, and how YOU can make an impact and create a more equitable, inclusive future.

As part of U-M’s year-long series “Earth Day at 50,” the university is working with local and regional partners to catalyze a mass movement for climate and environmental justice.

Getting to Net-Zero: Climate Challenges and Solutions

Karl Hausker Senior Fellow, Energy and Climate Program, World Resources Institute

Gerald R. Ford School of Public Policy, Betty Ford Classroom (1110)
735 S. State Street, Ann Arbor 48109-3091
11:45am-12:50pm (Pizza lunch available at 11:30am, talk begins at 11:45am)

Free and open to the public.
Pizza Lunch served at 11:30am.
Talk starts at 11:45am.

Description: Climate change is back on the national agenda with hearings, bills introduced, candidates’ plans, and discussion of a Green New Deal. Many policymakers are embracing the goal of net-zero emissions by 2050. Vigorous debates are occurring over questions including:
• Can renewables supply 100% of US electricity? 100% of all energy?
• What role should existing nuclear plants play in a clean energy economy? New nuclear plants?
• What role should carbon capture and storage play?
• How fast should the US aim to transition to 100% clean energy? What are the key policy levers that could achieve this?
• What roles should states, cities, and companies play in the clean energy transition?

Analysis and modeling of clean energy pathways can throw light on these questions. Everyone in the climate/energy policy community should understand how assumptions regarding the availability, performance, and integration of various technologies drive the energy, environmental and economic implications of pathways to deep reductions in emissions. Implications for energy policy and R&D portfolios are also critical.


Dr. Karl Hausker leads analysis and modeling of climate mitigation, electricity market design, and the social cost of carbon. He led the Risky Business study of clean energy scenarios for the U.S., and lectures widely on deep decarbonization. He has led climate policy analysis and modeling projects for USAID, USEPA, the Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative, the Western Climate Initiative, and the California Air Resources Board. Much of his work has focused on the energy and transportation sectors, and on low carbon, climate resilient development strategies. From 2007-2013, Karl was a Vice President at ICF International. His experience also includes: serving President Clinton as Deputy Assistant Administrator in EPA’s Policy Office where he represented EPA in interagency climate policy development and at COP-1; and serving as the Chief Economist for the U.S. Senate Committee on Energy and Natural Resources, where he worked on a diverse set of issues including electricity restructuring, CAFE standards, alternative fuels, western water policy, nuclear power, and energy security. Karl holds an M.P.P and Ph.D. in Public Policy from University of California, Berkeley, and received his Bachelor’s degree in Economics from Cornell University.

Freshwater Stories: Optics, Governance, and Adaptation around the Great Lakes (March 9, 2020 4:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/70301 70301-17564375@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Monday, March 9, 2020 4:00pm
Location: Rackham Graduate School (Horace H.)
Organized By: Institute for the Humanities

There is a plausible bright future for communities in the Great Lakes basin. Holding over 20% of the world’s fresh water, the much-maligned Rust Belt could transform into the Water Belt marked by innovation in agriculture and production and welcoming to waves of climate migrants. Yet no framework of regulation, governance, or funding currently exists to ensure such outcomes. Instead public subsidy of extractive and polluting corporations persists. Along with lax enforcement of regulation, there are no mechanisms to deal with agricultural runoff, plastics, and pharmaceuticals. How to get from here to the Water Belt?

Rachel Havrelock’s work shows how the necessary knowledge about water systems resides at the local level where community members struggle with particular forms of privatization, extraction, and pollution. Not only do stories about these contests over water illuminate global processes, but they also chart a course forward. Reflecting on stories she has collected across the Great Lakes basin, Havrelock will share prominent ideas about life around the remarkable freshwater seas.
