SUMMARY:JUST SUSTAINABILITIES IN URBAN PLANNING AND PRACTICE
DESCRIPTION:EcoDistricts is proud to announce that our next Webinar Wednesday will be hosted by Dr. Julian Agyeman of Tufts University\, a key thought leader of the movement to center racial equity and justice in the urban planning and design profession. \nIn this provocative and engaging conversation\, Julian will outline the concept of just sustainabilities as a response to the ‘equity deficit’ of current sustainability thinking and practice. He believes that what our cities can become (sustainable\, smart\, sharing\, and resilient) and who is allowed to belong in them (recognition of difference\, diversity\, and a right to the city) are fundamentally and inextricably interlinked. He will highlight his scholarship and writing with examples from urban planning and design\, urban agriculture and food justice\, and the concept of sharing cities. \nRegister for this Free Event Here

SUMMARY:Washington Center Summer Institute for  Improving Undergraduate Education
DESCRIPTION:This year we have partnered with dynamic organizations to offer you in-depth pre-institute sessions. Included in your team registration is the opportunity to attend one of three partner sessions to kick-off your experience at the institute. We begin our spotlight of these partner sessions with…\n\nTurning Evidence into More Equitable Outcomes for Students: Lessons from the National Institute for Learning Outcomes (NILOA) and the National Survey of Student Engagement (NSSE)\nFacilitated by Pat Hutchings (NILOA) and Jillian Kinzie (NSSE) \nThis pre-conference session is an opportunity to explore a central theme of the Institute and an important component in campus action plans: how to use student learning outcomes assessment to create a culture of ongoing improvement.  We’ll begin with your questions and experiences about assessment—both challenges and successes—building toward a set of principles for effective practice based on and supported by resources from NILOA and NSSE.  The goal is to help you build assessment into your campus action plan in a way that will support your most important goals—for more and better student learning\, more equitable outcomes\, stronger curricular and co-curricular connections\, and more effective teaching.

SUMMARY:Urban Forestry Carbon Offset Protocol: Developing Projects through the Offset Network
DESCRIPTION:The Offset Network\, now hosted by Second Nature\, presents a new pathway for colleges and universities to develop carbon offset methodologies. New methodologies can undergo a technical expert review process to obtain approval for use through the Offset Network. Learn about this new pathway\, and the first protocol to complete the technical review process- Duke University’s Urban Forestry Protocol. Presenters will introduce in detail the Urban Forestry Protocol\, including examples of how campuses can use the protocol to develop tree-planting projects in their own communities. The webinar will also discuss the technical review process\, and share how colleges and universities may work with the Offset Network to create their own new types of carbon offset methodologies. Join this webinar whether you are just starting to think about carbon offsets for your institution\, or have already developed offset projects and are interested in learning about new updates from the Offset Network. \nRegister for this free event HERE!

SUMMARY:American Experience: The Vote
DESCRIPTION:Celebrate the centennial of women’s suffrage with NEH-supported films and online resources \nWASHINGTON\, D.C. (July 2\, 2020) — The ratification of the Nineteenth Amendment in August of 1920 was the culmination of a lengthy and hard-won struggle fought by legions of American women who organized\, campaigned\, marched\, and engaged in civil disobedience to achieve the goal of women’s suffrage. \nPremiering on PBS American Experience on July 6\, The Vote\, a two-part documentary funded by a $350\,000 grant to City Lore from the National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH)\, tells the story of the final decade of the transformative cultural and political movement that resulted in the largest expansion of voting rights in U.S. history. Directed and produced by Michelle Ferrari\, the film examines the major turning points within the women’s suffrage movement between 1909 to 1920\, the debates among its leaders about the best tactics for effecting social and political change\, the unsung leaders of the movement\, and the controversies over gender roles and race that divided the nation. \nThe Vote is one of several NEH-supported projects focused on women’s history and 100 years of women’s suffrage. \nOn July 10\, PBS American Masters will also premiere the documentary Unladylike2020\, on female trailblazers in politics and civil rights. Directed and produced by Charlotte Mangin\, this special one-hour broadcast is part of an NEH-funded multimedia series that illuminates the inspiring stories of little-known American heroines. Unladylike2020 spotlights 26 American changemakers through 26 short online documentaries and includes biographies of women such as Bessie Coleman\, the first African American to earn an international pilot’s license; Susan La Flesche Picotte\, the first Native American physician who also founded a hospital on the Omaha Reservation; Jeanette Rankin\, the first woman elected to the U.S. Congress; and Gertrude Ederle\, the first woman to swim across the English Channel.

SUMMARY:WorldOregon presents Nicholas Kristof
DESCRIPTION:Kristof\, an Oregon native\, reflects on the risks ahead for the U.S. and its standing as global leader. Should we aim to have countries fear us or admire us? Do we maximize our competitiveness through trade policy abroad or through educational investments at home? Is U.S. leadership passing to China\, India and Europe\, and if so how can we recover the mantle? What lessons are there from the rest of the world that America can learn from?

SUMMARY:Are We Still Fighting Slavery in 2020?
DESCRIPTION:The national discourse surrounding police brutality and the criminal justice system is bringing more attention to the United State’s system of mass incarceration. The U.S. makes up about 4.25% of the total world population\, yet 1 out of 5 prisoners in the world are incarcerated in the United States. \nWhy is that? \nOn April 8th\, 1964\, The 13th Constitutional Amendment was passed which stated\, “Neither slavery nor involuntary servitude\, except as a punishment for crime whereof the party shall have been duly convicted\, shall exist within the United States\, or any place subject to their jurisdiction.” This meant that slavery was abolished with an exception; the exception of those who have been deemed criminals. \nIn 2020\, as we try to understand police brutality and how it supports mass incarceration\, it is essential that we dissect if these systems are feeding into an institution of slavery with a precedent set by the 13th amendment. \nOur films Restorative Justice\, Justice in Crisis and Immigrant Prisons were produced to ignite and fuel these necessary conversations. \nClick Here to use one of our films\, bringing our social justice documentaries and curriculum to your classroom.

SUMMARY:Solar-Plus-Storage: A Winning Combination for Your Campus to Achieve Climate Action Goals
DESCRIPTION:Hear how the West Valley-Mission Community College District and SunPower worked together to install an integrated solar and storage project in the heart of California’s Silicon Valley. The renewable electricity is needed to power the campus’s 1MM sq.ft of buildings on 228 acres. \nThe 5.4 MWdc solar carport and 3MW/6MWh energy storage project is forecast to be completed in 2021. An existing 2.2 MW system\, installed in 2011\, has generated an estimated $860\,000 in electricity savings per year for the District. Overall\, the systems will allow the District to offset approximately 75% of its grid electricity use with clean energy and boost its annual savings to over $2 million. Located about 45 minutes south of San Francisco\, the District enrolls about 15\,000 students. The District will own its solar power system\, with SunPower providing operations and maintenance\, as well as a performance guarantee for 25 years. \nThis is a free webinar\, open to the public. If you are unavailable during the live event\, you can still register and a link will be sent to you. \nRegister Here! \n
