SUMMARY:Making Climate History Anya Zilberstein Lecture
DESCRIPTION:Naturalists at the time observed rising ocean temperatures\, sinking glaciers\, and a disintegrating coastal ice shelf. Politicians\, in turn\, acted quickly on this information to reinvigorate Arctic exploration and the hunt for a Northwest Passage from the Atlantic to the Pacific Oceans. Since then\, modern scientists determined these were just fleeting phenomena\, very different from the human-caused climate change we are witnessing today. \nIn this lecture\, Anya Zilberstein will discuss the relationships between past and present climate science. Newer\, more precise science is vital. But\, she will argue\, it cannot help us interpret the politics of climate science in the past or understand the significance of climate history for the highly charged debates of the present. By recognizing that the uses and misuses of climate science are hardly new\, historians can help work against the presumption that the political problems of climate change are completely unique to our own time. \n  \nAnya Zilberstein is Associate Professor of History at Concordia University in Montreal. Her book\, A Temperate Empire: Making Climate Change in Early America (Oxford University Press\, 2016)\, won the Berkshire Conference Book Prize and she is co-editor of the new Routledge book series New/Old Natures: Histories of the Environment. Her research and publications encompass the history of environmental sciences and empire\, the early British Atlantic world\, environmental history\, climate history\, food history\, and the history of race\, migration\, and slavery. She is currently working on the history of animal migration (focused on theories of long distance bird migration) and on a second book\, Fodder for Empire: Feeding People Like Other Animals Since the Eighteenth Century\, which explores early forms of nutritional expertise and prescription diets for feeding people and domesticated animals alike.

SUMMARY:Social Justice in STEM
DESCRIPTION:What are some harmful yet pervasive ideas that uphold oppression through false notions of nonpartisanship in the sciences/STEM? Can scientists be activists?

What does it mean as scientists to show up for and empower underrepresented groups in STEM? What are we doing now? What can we do better?\nJoin us for a talk by scientist Nora Jameson from Women in Science PDX and the Free Radicals

SUMMARY:Bridging the Generational Gap on Climate Change
DESCRIPTION:Join us for an intergenerational conversation on climate choices: how we should meet the challenges of a warming planet? \nTogether\, guests will share how climate change affects them\, their families and friends. We will then consider various options to address this challenge\, using actions and drawbacks as examples to illustrate what each option entails. Next\, we’ll aim to identify areas of common ground and issues that still must be worked through. Our goal is to assist people in deliberating and weighing options for action against the things people hold valuable. As an outcome\, guests will have an opportunity to share specific actions that they can personally take to address this challenge. SAGE is also interested in identifying specific project ideas for our Legacy Fellows\, including projects well-suited for intergenerational action.

SUMMARY:Webinar: Welcome and Unwelcome Surprises on the Path to Carbon-Neutrality
DESCRIPTION:For many colleges and universities\, the commitment to carbon-neutrality was initially a pledge based upon a leap of faith that was judged too important to delay until a clear path was understood. Now we have more than a decade of effort behind us\, which includes some pleasant surprises and some setbacks\, and many lessons learned along the way. This presentation will take a candid look at what we have learned that will enable us to make course corrections and attain our commitment to carbon-neutrality. \n\n\n\n\nWendell Brase\, Associate Chancellor – Sustainability\, University of California\, Irvine \nWendell Brase is the University of California\, Irvine’s first Associate Chancellor for Sustainability. In this role\, he leads efforts by UC Irvine and assists other campuses throughout the UC system to implement UC’s Carbon Neutrality Initiative. Brase co-chairs the University of California’s Global Climate Leadership Council. \nFor 25 years\, he provided leadership for an award-winning sustainability program in his role as Vice Chancellor for Administrative and Business Services. UC Irvine received California’s highest environmental award\, the Governor’s Environmental and Economic Leadership Award\, in 2008 and again in 2013; has earned numerous accolades for sustainability\, including a 2009 Environmental Protection Agency Environmental Leadership Achievement Award and their 2014 Climate Leadership Award; has been on Sierra magazine’s Top 10 list of greenest campuses for the past ten years\, coming in at No. 1 in 2014\, 2015\, 2018\, and first in the U.S. in 2019; and in 2018\, UCI was recognized by the Association for the Advancement of Sustainability in Higher Education with a STARS Platinum rating for its sustainability operations\, academics\, and research. The campus currently has 18 LEED Platinum and 10 LEED Gold buildings\, among the most of any campus in the U.S.

SUMMARY:SAGE Panel on our Current Political Climate and Political Discourse
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a panel featuring Jack Miller\, a political science professor at Portland State University\, and Rebecca Tweed\, a top political strategist with over a decade of experience on state and local campaigns. Together they will examine the current political climate and discuss ways of promoting a healthy political discourse. They will seek to explain how political polarization breeds distrust\, disengagement\, and a retreat into opposing political echo chambers\, and they will explore ideas for changing the way we practice and talk about politics from across the political divide. \nFrom their different vantage points\, Miller and Tweed will elaborate on their ideas about reducing polarization and moving our communities in a direction of a healthy interaction and engagement. They share a commitment to helping Americans with different ideologies learn to work together on common concerns and shared goals\, even as they may disagree about what solutions to employ. The event concludes with audience questions and a brief discussion about how political divisiveness affects us personally\, how we may have more in common than we think\, and what each of us can do to promote a healthier political discourse.

SUMMARY:Climate Change\, Culture Exchange
DESCRIPTION:Ever since the Industrial Revolution in 1760\, the carbon dioxide level has increased dramatically in an unprecedented fashion. From global temperature rise and warming oceans to shrinking ice sheets and sea level rising\, we see how Earth is changing itself to accommodate for the increasing destruction of the environment (cite). However\, from the beginning of time\, our ancestors have been very kind to Earth resulting in a variety of indigenous sustainability practices. Join us for an open discussion about climate change and how it affects our home and people as well as share ways in which your communities have sustained Earth. \nWe strive to make our events inclusive and accessible. In order to ensure that reasonable accommodations are provided in time\, please make your requests as soon as possible to piaaa@pdx.edu or (503) 725-9390. \nLocation: Pacific Islander\, Asian and Asian American Student Center (SMSU 235)
