SUMMARY:Biology Fall 2025 Seminar Series Speaker-Dominik Kulakowski\, Clark University
DESCRIPTION:His research focuses on the effects of climate\, disturbances\, and land use on mountain forest ecosystems in the U.S. and in Europe. Important recent research themes include: 1) the causes and consequences of forest disturbances such as fires and insect outbreaks\, 2) the effects of climate on tree mortality and forest dieback\, 3) interactions and feedbacks among forest disturbances under climatic variability\, and 4) resilience and management of ecological systems in the Anthropocene.

SUMMARY:GSG Colloquium Series: Dr. Lise Nelson
DESCRIPTION:Associate Professor and Interim Director in the School of Geography\, Development and Environment at the University of Arizona \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nIllegality and the transformation of low-wage labor regimes in the context of rural gentrification\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nOver the last three decades\, domestic amenity or “lifestyle” migration has stimulated a process of rural gentrification across the United States\, shifting landscapes of production to landscapes of consumption—from Jackson Hole\, Wyoming to Highlands\, North Carolina. This talk draws on her recently published book\, Illegality and the Production of Affluence: Undocumented Labor and Gentrification in Rural America. In that project Dr. Nelson investigates an under-appreciated dimension of rural gentrification: the recruitment of low-wage\, mostly undocumented Latine immigrant workers essential to building and maintaining gentrifying landscapes and lifestyles. Dr. Nelson’s presentation focuses on the emergence and consolidation of immigrant-based labor regimes in two case study communities between the late 1990s and late 2000s\, Steamboat Springs\, CO and Rabun County\, GA\, drilling down into qualitative data that illustrate how and why employers in gentrification-linked sectors recruited what was an unfamiliar labor force in both places. Dr. Nelson traces how\, over time\, employers transformed their fundamental business model to reach new levels of profitability predicated on access to racially marked\, “illegal” workers. Finally\, Dr. Nelson discusses how these labor regimes shaped life and work for immigrant newcomers navigating rural landscapes of affluence. \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nZoom information: \n\n\n\n──────────Marjorie Miller is inviting you to a scheduled Zoom meeting.Join Zoom Meetinghttps://clarku.zoom.us/j/91560508472Meeting ID: 915 6050 8472—One tap mobile+16468769923\,\,91560508472# US (New York)+16469313860\,\,91560508472# USJoin instructionshttps://clarku.zoom.us/meetings/91560508472/invitations?signature=9iaxC7t2Ys44va_XLiJl8zVcfx11naHQCbLZvGrk-rY

SUMMARY:Economics Society Social Exchange
DESCRIPTION:The Economics Society\, a student-led organization that fosters a community for students interested in the study and application of economics\, will host the first social event for the academic year 2025-2026. This time\, we invite all introductory class students to meet and connect with older economics students: ask questions about pursuing a major in economics at Clark\, get course recommendations from other students\, and meet fellow students in economics classes! We provide free pizza and drinks!  \n\n\n\nYou do NOT need to be a declared economics major to participate. Any and all students in economics are welcome!

SUMMARY:Economics Department Seminar: Balázs Zélity (Wesleyan University)
DESCRIPTION:Date: October 16\, 2025\, 12 – 1:30 pm \n\n\n\nRoom: JC118 \n\n\n\nSpeaker: Balázs Zélity (Wesleyan University) \n\n\n\nTitle: Demographics and International Capital Flows: An Empirical Assessment \n\n\n\nAbstract: This paper empirically investigates whether shifts in demographic structure have an impact on cross-border capital flows. Country-level panel data with global coverage is utilised in fixed effects regressions. Demographic variables are instrumented by their predicted values\, which are calculated using a shift-share methodology. Local projections estimates complement the results with a dynamic perspective. The main finding is that there is a persistent positive relationship between a country’s mean age and its current and financial account balance — suggesting that population ageing increases net capital outflows. The mechanisms for this result are investigated by decomposing the current and financial accounts into their components as well as exploring what dimension of a country’s population age structure matter the most. \n\n\n\nContact: Kensuke Suzuki\, Assistant Professor of Economics\, KSuzuki@clarku.edu

SUMMARY:GSG Colloquium Series: Julianne Baroody
DESCRIPTION:Senior Director\, Certification at Verra \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nREDD+ and the Voluntary Carbon Market\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nDeforestation currently contributes 12 to 20% of global greenhouse gas emissions\, and addressing it is critical to mitigating climate change. Julie will address the carbon crediting paradigm for reducing emissions from deforestation and degradation (REDD). Her organization\, Verra\, is a mission-driven nonprofit organization that uses standards\, among them the Verified Carbon Standard\, to drive finance to projects that credibly and transparently advance environmental change across the globe. Over the past few years\, Verra has worked with the Clark Center for Geospatial Analytics on developing jurisdictional risk maps and the allocation model for our pioneering REDD methodology.

SUMMARY:From Ranch to Runway: A Brown Bag Lunch on Sustainable Sheep Ranching with Ben Carver\, M.A. ’19
DESCRIPTION:Dive into the story of sheep ranching in the American West — how land management works with the textile industry to reduce emissions\, preserve healthy ecosystems\, and create the clothes we wear. \n\n\n\nBen Carver\, M.A. ’19\, will be back on campus for this brown bag lunch session. Ben is vice president of Shaniko Wool Company\, which was founded in 2018 and built on the legacy of his parents\, Dan and Jeanne Carver\, at the Imperial Stock Ranch (originally established in 1871) in north central Oregon. In 1999\, the Carvers pioneered a new model\, selling their wool directly to textile brands that valued transparency and land stewardship. In 2017\, the Imperial Stock Ranch became the first ranch in the world certified under the Responsible Wool Standard (RWS)\, setting a precedent for responsible wool production. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nToday\, Shaniko brings together a group of family ranches across the American West and is the leading U.S. source of RWS-certified American Merino. By supplying wool at scale with verified standards for animal welfare\, land management\, and chain of custody\, Shaniko connects global textile partners to fiber grown with integrity.  \n\n\n\nAt Shaniko\, one of Ben’s primary roles is to implement the Carbon Initiative\, which measures the positive carbon impact of the regenerative farming methods on all of their partner ranches throughout the West. Ben meets with ranchers\, collects field samples\, coordinates with the laboratory team\, and provides feedback\, which helps guide management decisions.  \n\n\n\nBen also runs all certification programs\, including the Responsible Wool Standard (RWS) and NATIVA Regen\, helping ranchers create management plans that meet stringent guidelines. Ben’s passion for the environment\, community\, and sustainable practices guides his work with Shaniko Wool.  \n\n\n\nBen Carver joined the family business in 2022 after a successful career in the humanitarian sector as a national director of programs. He led projects in conservation\, education\, and public health\, from Yemen and Haiti to Lebanon and Pakistan.
