Happening @ Michigan https://events.umich.edu/list/rss RSS Feed for Happening @ Michigan Events at the University of Michigan. The Plastic Bag Store (February 1, 2023 6:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/103461 103461-21807273@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Wednesday, February 1, 2023 6:00pm
Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: The College of Literature, Science, and the Arts

This custom-built public art installation and immersive film experience uses humor, craft, and a critical lens to question our culture of consumption and convenience — specifically, the enduring effects of our single-use plastics.

Shelves are stocked with thousands of original grocery items meticulously sculpted by hand, all made from discarded single-use plastics organically harvested from streets and garbage dumps. Several times a day, the store transforms into an immersive, dynamic stage for a film in which inventive puppetry, shadow play, and intricate handmade sets tell the darkly comedic and sometimes tender story of how the overabundance of plastic waste we leave behind might be misinterpreted by future generations — and how what we value least may become our most lasting cultural legacy.

During the sessions, we will hear from campus partners as they share tools, resources, and knowledge that may support our well-being.

Participants will dig into how plants and nature can affect their environments while exploring the Purple Coneflower’s cultural relevance and purpose. We will spend time learning about U-M alum Doug Jones, painting terra cotta pots and then participants have an opportunity to plant their own Purple Coneflower to take with them!

Sometimes, the solutions to the climate crisis aren’t complex technological innovations. They can be as personal as your auntie’s renegade community kitchen that she built after a natural disaster, or cooking with your dad, who grew up poor, and taught you how to be resourceful in the kitchen. It can be choosing to share moments of laughter with your loved ones in a time of hardship, or sitting on the porch with your elders and learning from their stories of the past. Too often, climate conversations ignore these narratives of community resourcefulness and creativity in times of adversity.

The Future Is With Our People brings together work from 10+ UM students who live, work, play, love, and hope in the face of uncertainties and injustices. Through these pieces, the artists tell stories about the customs, communities, relationships, and experiences that bring them joy and a drive to demand a better future. As the climate crisis intensifies, we must recognize that solutions often lie within us, our communities, and our cultures. This art exhibit attempts to express just how vital our stories can be in building a sustainable and just future for present and future generations to thrive in.

Join the Student Life Sustainabilty Cultural Organizers and the Center for Campus Involvement for an art exhibition on the first floor of the Union from Feb 13-Feb 24.

Amali Tower is the founder and executive director of Climate Refugees. She has extensive global experience in refugee protection, refugee resettlement and in forced migration and displacement contexts, having worked globally for numerous NGOs, the UN Refugee Agency and the US Refugee Admissions Program. Years of interviewing refugees fleeing conflict afforded her the chance to hear their stories of also fleeing climate change. Through this, Climate Refugees was born. She has conducted country and regional case studies and research in climate-induced displacement contexts, including in urban and camp settings. Her research on climate, conflict and displacement in the Lake Chad Basin in Africa’s Sahel was presented as evidence of loss and damage at COP 26 in Glasgow. Amali serves displaced populations as an experienced defender and her clients as a partner and advisor. She developed her work ethic, world views and deep commitment to forcibly displaced populations through a lived experience of instability, and as an immigrant and migrant. She’s born of that education, life in multiple countries, and also those at Columbia University, where she has a Master of International Affairs focused in Human Rights from the School of International and Public Affairs, and a BA in International Development Studies from UCLA. She resides in New York City.

They can be as personal as your auntie’s renegade community kitchen that she built after a natural disaster, or cooking with your dad, who grew up poor, and taught you how to be resourceful in the kitchen. It can be choosing to share moments of laughter with your loved ones in a time of hardship, or sitting on the porch with your elders and learning from their stories of the past. Too often, climate conversations ignore these narratives of community resourcefulness and creativity in times of adversity.

The Future Is With Our People brings together work from 10+ UM students who live, work, play, love, and hope in the face of uncertainties and injustices. Through these pieces, the artists tell stories about the customs, communities, relationships, and experiences that bring them joy and a drive to demand a better future. As the climate crisis intensifies, we must recognize that solutions often lie within us, our communities, and our cultures. This art exhibit attempts to express just how vital our stories can be in building a sustainable and just future for present and future generations to thrive in.

Join the Student Life Sustainabilty Cultural Organizers and the Center for Campus Involvement for an art exhibition on the first floor of the Union from Feb 13-Feb 24.

Housing and transportation together account for 42% of our emissions. To achieve carbon neutrality by 2030 we need to dramatically reduce vehicle miles traveled and make our buildings more efficient. What impact do transportation and housing choices have on carbon emissions, affordability and livability? Ann Arbor Citizens’ Climate Lobby has assembled a panel to discuss considerations for designing low carbon, highly livable cities.

Panelists:
Jan Culbertson, Senior Principal Emeritus, A3C and Leadership Council Chair, Ann Arbor 2030 District

Reid Ewing, Distinguished Professor of City and Metropolitan Planning, University of Utah

Jonathan Levine, Professor of Urban and Regional Planning, University of Michigan’s Taubman College of Architecture and Urban Planning

Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: CEW+

For more info and to apply: https://www.cew.umich.edu/advocacy-initiatives/twink-frey-visiting-social-activist-program

Each year the Twink Frey Visiting Social Activist (TFVSA) Program brings to CEW+ a social justice activist whose work affects women and recognizes gender equity issues. One goal of the program is to build the capacity and effectiveness of social activists by giving the TFVSA time, space, and support to work on a project that would not be possible under the activist’s usual working circumstances.

The TFVSA program gives the selected TFVSA time for reflection, research, planning, and writing related to their area of activism. Each TFVSA is required to work on a project that will advance their future work and potentially benefit other activists.

If selected, the applicant is invited to reside near campus for up to one month or make intermittent visits to Ann Arbor and work remotely. The 2024 residency will take place during the winter semester with a presentation of their project the following fall semester at the CEW+ Annual Advocacy Symposium. The activist receives a $10,000 stipend to cover their expenses while in Ann Arbor. Travel expenses to and from Ann Arbor are separately reimbursed by the endowment fund.

ELIGIBILITY

The TFVSA program supports activists whose work addresses gender equity issues that affect the lives of women and/or girls. The program defines social justice and equity programs broadly to include activism in such areas as housing, employment, income support, food security, education, violence, child care, health care, and employer benefits like paid sick leave and retirement income.

The Battle Over ESG: Profits, Purpose & Politics (March 21, 2023 5:30pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/105430 105430-21811840@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Tuesday, March 21, 2023 5:30pm
Location: Ross School of Business
Organized By: Erb Institute / Ross Business School and School for Environment & Sustainability

We are excited to host a timely discussion about ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) at Ross Business School in March, featuring Elizabeth Doty (Director, Erb Corporate Political Responsibility Taskforce); Bennett Freeman (Associate Fellow of Chatham House and former Senior Vice President of Calvert Investments); Vik Khanna (William W. Cook Professor of Law, University of Michigan Law School); and moderated by Erb Institute Faculty Director, Tom Lyon.

As the ESG agenda has gained traction and momentum over the last decade, it has attracted inevitable criticism and a backlash—and now even a backlash to the backlash. Not only is ESG investing under attack, but the battle also extends to the future of corporate responsibility and sustainability more broadly — and in turn the respective roles of business and government— with high stakes for both action and inaction. Some issues are technical and methodological, related to ESG metrics and funds. Other issues are more ideological and political, challenging the notion of business purpose, pitting shareholder primacy against stakeholder capitalism, and raising questions about the appropriate role of corporations in the policy arena. This timely event will explore the drivers of this battle over ESG and offer solutions for moving forward.

SUSTAINABILITY FROM THE C-SUITE: COMPLEX DECISION MAKING TO CREATE MORE SUSTAINABLE ENTERPRISES

Description: Search practically any large company, as well as many smaller ones, and you will find a sustainability report detailing all the efforts to create a more environmentally friendly enterprise.

While this is certainly a positive development, companies need to solve not only any potential technical problems, but a range of challenges across the supply chain. This includes questions about what goals to set, which aspects of sustainability to prioritize, the impact on customers, and how to pay for it while keeping investors satisfied.

In this interactive discussion, Gemline Executive Chairman Jonathan Isaacson will discuss, from the vantage point of the Chairman and CEO of a business with a global footprint, the difficult and potentially risky decision-making process involved in making a company more sustainable.

Location: Michigan League
Organized By: Environmental Consulting Organization at the University of Michigan

Join us for a panel discussion of waste colonialism and justice in the linear economy.
This panel discussion will engage with the broad idea that our linear economies, in which items are produced, sold, used, and thrown away, are not only harmful to our ecosystems but to the communities (humans and non-humans) who live, work, play, and pray in these very same ecosystems. A key example of such dynamics is that every part of the process of making, consuming and disposing of single-use plastics is harmful to our people and to our planet. From the pipeline fracking needed to produce the raw oil to make plastics, to its transport to oil refineries, in cities like Detroit, and to petrochemical facilities, in cities like Houston, TX and St. James, LA, to its disposal in landfills, incinerators, and in low-income and BIPOC communities’ backyards in the Global North and South, the toxic impacts of our single-use plastic economies cannot be denied.
It is those very same communities, who are at the forefront of our unjust waste producing systems, who are also at the forefront of building equitable and just alternatives to these systems. The alternatives and solutions include anti-incineration struggles; community-based recycling and composting programs, food and secondhand goods redistribution services, sharing economies, and mutual aid networks; human rights campaigns to advocate for the rights of waste pickers and of families to safe working conditions and environments; the passing of progressive policies, like single-use plastic bans, to hold corporate actors accountable; and the list goes on.
The panelists, who will be speaking about their work at this event, emerge from numerous fields, such as community composting and recycling, social services, global policy organizing, and are integral to our waste justice movements. We hope that by the end of the event, attendees will walk away feeling more confident about answering the following questions for themselves:
What does waste justice look like on the ground in Detroit and other parts of the world?
How should zero waste strategies be integral to our climate action strategies?
How can I support these efforts and stay connected to them?

2023 Kelbaugh Lecture: Paola Viganò, "Laboratories of the Transition. Projects in Europe." (March 30, 2023 6:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/105326 105326-21811566@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Thursday, March 30, 2023 6:00pm
Location: Art and Architecture Building
Organized By: A. Alfred Taubman College of Architecture + Urban Planning

Cities and territories face social and environmental challenges (climate change, biodiversity crises, increasing urbanization of the planet). Urban and territorial design defines today an urgent and critical field. Through four episodes – “Prototypes of the transition”, “Utopia for our Time”, “Design a Horizontal Metropolis”, and “Towards an urbanism of the living soil” – the presentation will delve into some of the extraordinary challenges of the future of cities and territories. They embed a long-term designer’s reflection on how we shall live together.

Paola Viganò architect and urbanist is a Full Professor in Urban Theory and Urban Design at the EPFL (CH) (where she directs the Habitat Research Center and the Lab-U) and at IUAV Venice (IT). She received the Grand Prix de l’Urbanisme in 2013, the title of Doctor Honoris Causa by the UCLouvain in 2016 in the frame of “Utopia for our Time”, the Flemish Culture Award for Architecture in 2017, and the Golden medal to the career of Milano Triennale in 2018. Together with Bernardo Secchi, she founded Studio (1990-2014) working on numerous projects and visions in Europe. Since 2015, StudioPaolaViganò works on the ecological and social transition of cities, landscapes, and territories designing urban and territorial projects and realizing public spaces in Europe. In 2019, her work has been exhibited at the Shenzen Biennale, and in 2021 at the Venice Biennale. In 2022, she received the Schelling Prize for Architectural Theory.

The Douglas S. Kelbaugh Lecture is generously funded through an endowed fund given by Douglas Kelbaugh and Kathleen Nolan to support an annual public lecture on the topic of urban design.

Douglas Kelbaugh, FAIA, FCNU, professor emeritus of architecture and urban and regional planning and dean emeritus of Taubman College, died on February 18, 2023, at 78. Kelbaugh’s contributions to the field of sustainable architecture and urban planning, the Taubman College community, cities, and the education of students will continue to create a positive impact in the world for years to come, including through the annual Kelbaugh Lecture.

STS Distinguished Lecture. Vulnerometry: Historical Reflections on the Quest to Measure Climate Vulnerability (April 4, 2023 4:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/103038 103038-21805747@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Tuesday, April 4, 2023 4:00pm
Location: Tisch Hall
Organized By: Science, Technology & Society

This presentation will track a series of discoveries of previously unknown atmospheric forces, made in Vienna between the 1770s and 1850s: animal magnetism, Aereon, and Od. I propose that these belonged to a larger category of atmospheric influences on living things whose workings were obscure yet tantalizing, including ozone, moonlight, and “atmospheric electricity” (the last a new designation to distinguish it from that generated by electrical machines).

The controversies that surrounded the discoveries of these forces need to be recognized as episodes in an overlooked history: the history of investigating the interrelations of life and the atmosphere. I show how this strain of research reflected the Habsburgs’ imperial and industrial ambitions. It is a story with telling parallels in present-day attempts to study the determinants of environmental health and to measure what experts refer to as “degrees of vulnerability” to climate change.

Our students and alumni would like to foster a rich dialogue with everyone in attendance on the issues facing our changing climate. Please consider their questions on the attached agenda.

Emcees Kim Frauhammer and Emily Upton will kick off the event with a panel of alumni followed by former and current students, faculty, and friends in a more open conversation.

This opening event will be followed by a lecture by Professor Rood, “Addressing Our Climate Future: It is what we know best.”

He will be introduced by Professor Rosina Bierbaum of the School of Environment and Sustainability, who has been a leader in addressing climate change in both government and academia.

A reception with an open mic, refreshments and drinks will follow.

Webinar: Digging Deeper into User Engagement to Build Collaborative Science Capacity (April 26, 2023 2:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/105600 105600-21812255@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Wednesday, April 26, 2023 2:00pm
Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Graham Sustainability Institute

Collaborative science is an inclusive approach that creates many different pathways of science to application. While there are several key elements - design within context, dialog between researchers and non-researchers, and tailored processes and products - how these elements come together can look very different from project to project. As the NERRS Science Collaborative continues to learn alongside project teams and refine its approach to support collaborative science across the reserve system, it also seeks to understand the evolution of its own approach and impact.

In collaboration with the NERRS Science Collaborative Team, University of Michigan PhD student Lisa Maillard built upon a previous investigation of how Science Collaborative-supported teams work to document collaborative intents, processes, and outcomes, and what these three concepts can look like in “real world” collaborative science projects. This webinar shares the findings of this work - that the intensification and diversification of engagement processes have resulted in a growing understanding of the value and impact of collaborative science. Lisa will also share how this work is being translated into guidance for the program and resources for collaborative science practitioners and applicants.

Modernizing Regulatory Review (September 19, 2023 12:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/110565 110565-21825098@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Tuesday, September 19, 2023 12:00pm
Location: Jeffries Hall
Organized By: Michigan Law Environmental and Energy Law Program

Please join us for the first Environmental & Energy Law Program lunch talk of the academic year. Richard Revesz, the administrator of the Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs, will deliver a lecture entitled "Modernizing Regulatory Review."

This event is free and open to the public. Lunch will be served.

On April 6, 2023, the Biden Administration took two actions to modernize regulatory review. First, the President signed an executive order that will focus federal agency and Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs (OIRA) time and resources where they can have the greatest positive effect and bring more voices into the regulatory process. And second, OIRA issued proposed revisions to its government-wide guidance on regulatory analysis, Circular A-4, to help agencies better account for the full range of benefits and costs of their regulatory actions. This talk will particularly focus on Circular A-4, including proposed revisions to guidance on discounting, geographic scope of analysis, and distributional analysis.

Richard Revesz, the administrator of the Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs, is one of the nation’s leading voices in the fields of environmental and regulatory law and policy. He is also the AnBryce Professor of Law (on leave) and dean emeritus at the New York University School of Law. Revesz has published ten books and around 80 articles in major law reviews and journals advocating for protective and rational climate change and environmental policies, and examining the institutional contexts in which regulatory policy is made.

In a village in the Niyamgiri mountains of the Eastern Ghats in Odisha, eastern India, a heroic effort is underway: barefoot ecologist Dr. Debal Deb and his team are conserving over 1000 endangered heirloom varieties of rice in-situ, the world’s largest project of its kind. Odisha’s Eastern Ghats region is one of the world’s surviving biodiversity hotspots, with farmers and shifting cultivators, particularly from Indigenous communities like the Kondhs possessing the knowledge of growing multiple crops with their own seeds, evolved over centuries. But the village and the wider region is irreversibly changing with the coming of genetically modified Bt and herbicide-tolerant cotton seeds and associated agrochemicals like glyphosate. ‘Seed Stories’ takes a worm’s eye view of how the swift expansion of a chemical-intensive cotton monoculture is reshaping a geography and a people steeped in agro-ecological knowledge, and altering their attitudes towards farming, food and ecology. It invites audiences to reflect on the question, ‘What is sustainability?’

Chitrangada Choudhury is an alumnus of the Knight-Wallace Journalism Fellowship program at the University of Michigan Ann Arbor, and her reportage on issues of the environment and human rights has been cited for multiple national and international journalism awards. She is currently a PhD candidate at the Department of Geography, University of Zurich.

Aniket Aga is an Assistant Professor of Geography at SUNY Buffalo and the author of ‘Genetically Modified Democracy’ (Yale University Press, 2021). The book won the 2022 Ludwik Fleck Prize from the Society for the Social Studies of Science (4S). His research interests lie in science & technology, democratic politics and agrarian change.

Webinar: Building Capacity for Reserves to be Motus Wildlife Tracking Leaders (October 18, 2023 3:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/112920 112920-21829782@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Wednesday, October 18, 2023 3:00pm
Location: Off Campus Location
Organized By: Graham Sustainability Institute

The Motus Wildlife Tracking System is an open-source, international network of community hosted radio-telemetry receivers and wildlife researchers designed to investigate a wide variety of wildlife movement questions. Volunteer partners host and operate receiving stations across the world that autonomously listen for flying migratory animals equipped with transmitters called nanotags. Researchers rely on the receivers for movement data for a diversity of tagged wildlife, including birds, bats, and insects. Despite widespread interest in wildlife tracking and research within and beyond the Reserve system, this technology has only been used sporadically at a few reserve sites to date.

In 2018, the ACE Basin NERR received private funding to implement a Motus receiver station at partner State Park, which sparked interest from potential collaborators. Since 2020, a multi-reserve project led by the ACE Basin Reserve has held a series of workshops to provide guidance and assistance on siting, construction, installation, and interpretation of Motus sites at participating reserves. In this webinar, project lead Jessica Kinsella will share how this effort has created new partnerships and positioned the Reserve as a regional leader for the Motus initiative, while enabling partners to increase their contribution to coastal bird research and engage their end users in coastal bird conservation and management.
