SUMMARY:Spirituality and the Ethics of Conservation: The Collapse of Marine Fisheries in West Africa
DESCRIPTION:Presented byEmmanuel Akyeampong\, PhDEllen Gurney Professor of History and of African and African American Studies\, Harvard UniversityMinister for Worship and Formation\, Harvard University Memorial Church \n\n\n\nIn the 1960s\, economist and anthropologist Polly Hill dubbed Ghanaians “Pan-African fisherman.” Ghanaian fishermen could be found all along the West African coast from the Gambia to the Niger Delta. Today\, Ghana accounts for about 70 to 80 percent of all pelagic fish catches (sardines\, anchovies\, herring\, mackerel) in the Gulf of Guinea. Yet in the past two to three decades\, annual catches of small pelagic fish there have declined precipitously\, plummeting from 270\,000 metric tons in 1990s to 16\,000 metric tons in 2016. The factors accounting for the decline are complex: overfishing\, ocean warming\, the menace of foreign industrial trawlers\, and illegal\, unreported\, and unregulated (IUU) fishing practices. The collapse of marine fisheries has generated a debate about customary practices rooted in indigenous religion that treated the sea as sacred space and regulated fishing practices. Has social change and religious pluralism undermined the ethics of conservation? How can the ethics of conservation be rehabilitated as part of the multi-pronged effort to revive marine fisheries along the West African coast? \n\n\n\nAdmission to the talk is free and open to the public\, and lunch will be provided. Guests are encouraged to arrive at 11:45am for refreshments. \n\n\n\nSponsored as part of the Leir Lecture Series by the School of Climate\, Environment\, and Society; the Alice Coonley Higgins Institute for Arts and Humanities; the Marsh Institute; the Center for Gender\, Race\, and Area Studies; and the Departments of English: of History; of Language\, Literature\, and Culture; and of Sustainability and Social Justice at Clark University \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout the SpeakerEmmanuel Akyeampong is the Ellen Gurney Professor of History and of African and African American Studies at Harvard University\, and the Minister for Worship and Formation at Harvard University Memorial Church. He served as the Oppenheimer Faculty Director of the Harvard Center for African Studies from July 2016 to June 2023. Akyeampong is a Fellow of the Ghana Academy of Arts and Sciences\, and a Corresponding Fellow of the Royal Historical Society (UK). He obtained his PhD in History from the University of Virginia in 1993\, and his MDiv from Andover Newton Theological School in 2014. He received an honorary Doctor of Laws from the University of Ghana in 2018\, and an honorary Doctor of Letters from the University of Cape Coast in 2023. Akyeampong is the author and editor of several books and articles including Independent Africa: The First Generation of Nation Builders (2023); Between the Sea and the Lagoon: An Eco-Social History of the Anlo of Southeastern Ghana (2001); and Drink\, Power\, and Cultural Change: A Social History of Alcohol in Ghana\, c.1800 to Recent Times (1996). He served as co-chief editor with Henry Louis Gates\, Jr.\, for the Dictionary of African Biography\, 6 vols. (2012). Akyeampong is a principal investigator for one of the inaugural grants from the Harvard Salata Institute for Climate and Sustainability\, “Examining the Impact of Sea-Level Rise\, Urban Flooding\, and Coastal Erosion on Settlement and Livelihoods in Côte d’Ivoire\, Ghana\, and Nigeria.”

SUMMARY:Wallace W. Atwood Lecture: Mishuana Goeman\, University at Buffalo
DESCRIPTION:Mishuana Goeman\, Professor and Chair of Indigenous Studies at the University at Buffalo and President of the American Studies Association\, will deliver the annual Wallace W. Atwood Lecture \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTreaty Art: The Visual Geographies of Expressive Citizenship\n\n\n\nThis talk explores the iconography of treaties in contemporary art practices in the context of one hundred years of the Indian Citizenship Act. The Act itself centers on the human and the closing of the co-constitutive power of the US and Canadian territorial sovereignty. The act attempts to domesticates Indians—and our lands– as citizens under the shroud of American Legal territorial sovereignty\, moving Indigenous lands to the purview of the secretary of the Interior in the US and under the patriarchy of the Indian Act in Canada. In contrast to this moment\, artists have long depicted an alternative vision of the relationship between belonging and land that exceeds settler borders and their colonial premises. I will examine examples of the reconfiguration of forms of territorial sovereignty through art practices that rethink land and relationships not only between landed points but also in relation to other humans and more-than-humans. How do contemporary art practices create not only a sense of belonging but also a sense of reciprocity and responsibility? How is a “sea to shining sea” affective regime of belonging disrupted by the visual impact of Indigenous artists who address colonization and forms of settler structures of belonging that are often gendered practices? What might we gain from examining public art and other built environments where the subtlety of assertion of treaty rights\, existing before the 1924 act\, is not so apparent to a North American public but is the iconography that creates a sense of belonging from those in reciprocal relationships with Indigenous Nations? How does expressive citizenship creatively refuse a hundred years of settler citizenship and disrupt colonial geographies based on patriarchal property logics? \n\n\n\nDr. Mishuana Goeman\, daughter through the patrilineal line of enrolled Tonawanda Band of Seneca\, Hawk Clan\, is a Professor and Chair of Indigenous Studies at the University at Buffalo and President of the American Studies Association. Her monographs include Mark My Words: Native Women Mapping Our Nations (2013) and Settler Aesthetics: The Spectacle of Originary Moments in the New World (2023). She is also part of the feminist editorial collective for Keywords in Gender and Sexuality Studies (2021)\, which won the Choice Award in 2021\, and now is part of a Podcast series of the same name. Digital Projects where she is a co-pi include Carrying Our Ancestors Home (COAH\, 2019)\, Mukurtu California Native Hub (2020)\, and the Haudenosaunee Archival Research and Knowledge (Hark\, 2023)\, Mapping Indigenous L.A (2015-2024).

SUMMARY:Geography Colloquium Series: Dr. Richard Harper
DESCRIPTION:Wood banks & Urban Forestry: Exploring the Relationship \n\n\n\nDr. Richard (Rick) Harper\n\n\n\nIn recent years\, wood banks have arisen to provide free firewood to fuel-poor households as means of offsetting winter heating costs. Wood banks also offer a number of community-based benefits including the potential to derive utility from excess urban wood generated through routine arboricultural practices\, like pruning & tree removals. Join Dr. Rick Harper (Univ. of Massachusetts\, Amherst) as he outlines the existence of known wood banks and explore the potential for continuing collaboration and research.

SUMMARY:GSG Colloquium Series: Dr. Gillian Galford
DESCRIPTION:Shifting Frontiers: Land-Use Transitions and Agricultural Intensification in Brazil’s Cerrado\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nGillian Galford\n\n\n\nResearch Associate Professor\, Rubenstein School of Environment and Natural Resources; Fellow of the Gund Institute for the Environment at the University of Vermont \n\n\n\nBrazil’s Cerrado\, the world’s most biodiverse savanna\, is being rapidly transformed by agriculture and global markets. In this talk\, Dr. Gillian Galford draws on geospatial and remote sensing analyses combined with geopolitical and socioeconomic perspectives to show how deforestation—primarily for pasture—often precedes cropland development. Shifts in crop rotations reveal both intensifying land use and expanding agricultural frontiers\, while global trade demand accelerates these changes. Together\, these dynamics illuminate the powerful forces reshaping one of Earth’s most critical ecosystems.

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.

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: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: 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:Geography Colloquium Series: Dr. Timur Hammond
DESCRIPTION:The Transmitted Past: Toward a Rethinking of Geography\, Temporality\, and Community\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nHow do we make a common world? This talk answers that question by focusing on the role that temporality plays in the making of both places and communities. Articulating a concept of the ‘transmitted past\,’ Timur Hammond\, associate professor in the Geography and Environment Department at Syracuse University\, argues that geographers ought to think of the past as what Annemarie Mol would term the ‘multiple.’ Such an approach helps us better understand the instruments through which we both know and construct the past; the possibility for different pasts to be spatially co-present and yet socially distinct; and the moments of friction and encounter when different places and their pasts breach one into the other. These insights\, Dr. Hammond suggests\, have broader implications for how geographers and others understand the politics and possibilities of the present moment.

SUMMARY:Biology Seminar Series: Alex Bradshaw\, Clark University
DESCRIPTION:Alexander Bradshaw is a mycologist with experience in microbiology\, including work with bacterial and fungal specimens. He values biodiversity in all forms but has a strong passion for Fungi. His past and current research has primarily focused on systematics and evolution of the genus of “Magic mushrooms” Psilocybe\, which produce psychoactive compounds with high therapeutic potential for the treatment of myriad mental health issues. However\, more broadly\, Alex is interested in exploring the complexity and evolution of fungal secondary metabolites\, which have been utilized by humans throughout history for food\, medicine\, and in reclaiming polluted environments. Embracing the breadth of biological and chemical diversity that Fungi exhibit is paramount to understanding their role in nature\, how they shape the environment around them\, and how they influence the organisms they interact with. \n\n\n\nAnother unexplored realm of mycology is the functional development of morphology\, such as how a mushroom is produced. For his post-doctoral research\, Alex is working in the lab of Dr. David Hibbett and Dr. Javier Tabima\, where he is studying the systematics\, functional genetics\, and population structures of the gilled\, and sometimes secotioid\, polypore mushroom\, Lentinus tigrinus.
