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.

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 URL:https://www.clarku.edu/events/event/economics-department-seminar-balazs-zelity-wesleyan-university/ LOCATION:JC 118 CATEGORIES:Education/Social Sciences,Environment/Sustainability END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20251016T120000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20251016T133000 DTSTAMP:20260425T144320 CREATED:20251012T142607Z LAST-MODIFIED:20251012T144924Z UID:10001233-1760616000-1760621400@www.clarku.edu 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 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 URL:https://www.clarku.edu/events/event/gsg-colloquium-series-dr-lise-nelson/ LOCATION:VIA ZOOM CATEGORIES:Education/Social Sciences,Environment/Sustainability,Humanities ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.clarku.edu/events/wp-content/uploads/sites/7/2025/09/Lise-Nelson-headshot-2025-cropped-1-scaled.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20251002T120000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20251002T130000 DTSTAMP:20260425T144320 CREATED:20250822T171101Z LAST-MODIFIED:20250822T171103Z UID:10001004-1759406400-1759410000@www.clarku.edu 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.

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.

But after one chance encounter with the sounds of the wilderness\, he chose to change his career path\, setting out to gather wild field recordings to help battle the climate crisis using acoustic information. More than half a century later\, his vast archive of captured soundscapes reflects dire habitat devastation in the world and yields urgent stories about the need for immediate change. \nThe Last of the Nightingales\, directed by Masha Karpoukhina\, invites audiences to experience the rich acoustic beauty of the living world through Bernie’s ears\, exceptionally attuned over decades. More than half of the ecosystems recorded in his immense archive are now completely silent or will never be heard in their original voice again due to the profound effects of climate change on the stability\, biodiversity\, and resilience of virtually all ecosystems on Earth. As more and more soundscapes fall silent\, Bernie reminds us that it’s not too late to begin listening. \nAdmission to the screening is free and open to the public. Refreshments will be offered. \nSponsored by the Alice Coonley Higgins Institute for Arts and Humanities and the Environmental Humanities Research Collaborative at Clark University URL:https://www.clarku.edu/events/event/the-last-of-the-nightingales-film-screening-and-discussion/ LOCATION:Clark University\, Higgins Lounge\, Dana Commons – 2nd Floor\, 36 Maywood Street\, Worcester\, MA\, 01603\, United States CATEGORIES:Academic,Arts/Music/Film,Environment/Sustainability,Humanities ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.clarku.edu/events/wp-content/uploads/sites/7/2025/03/16-9-TLOTN-scaled-1.jpg ORGANIZER;CN="Alice Coonley Higgins Institute for Arts and Humanities":MAILTO:higginsinstitute@clarku.edu END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20250409T133000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20250409T150000 DTSTAMP:20260425T144320 CREATED:20250217T231751Z LAST-MODIFIED:20250408T170207Z UID:10000769-1744205400-1744210800@www.clarku.edu SUMMARY:Introducing Disaster Nation: An Ecocritical Study of Puerto Rican Culture DESCRIPTION:  \nJoin us as Clark University faculty member María Acosta Cruz (Language\, Literature\, and Culture) discusses her new book\, Disaster Nation: An Ecocritical Study of Puerto Rican Culture. In it\, she examines Puerto Rico’s national culture through a complex web of references to the disasters that the nation has suffered and to how the environment has been portrayed. Sometimes Puerto Rican history\, literature and arts highlight the drama of hurricanes and earthquakes. But often\, the classics read in universities and gazed at in museums depict an Edenic garden of eternal spring. Since cultural depictions of the environment are never innocent and always have socio-political motivations\, Acosta Cruz’s ecocritical project explores Puerto Rico through its unique convergences of calamities: cyclonic location and ecological instability\, as well as continuous colonialism. \nAdmission is free and open to the public\, and lunch will be provided. Guests are encouraged to arrive at 1:15pm for refreshments. \nSponsored by the Alice Coonley Higgins Institute for Arts and Humanities and the Department of Language\, Literature\, and Culture at Clark University \nAbout the Speaker \nBorn and raised in Cabo Rojo\, Puerto Rico\, María Acosta Cruz received her degrees in Comparative Literature from the University of Puerto Rico at Mayagüez and the State University of New York at Binghamton. She is a Full Professor of Spanish at Clark University. She explores language and culture issues concerning ecocriticism\, nationhood\, gender constructions\, and Caribbean political and cultural history. Among her published works is Dream Nation: Puerto Rican Culture & the Fictions of Independence and the upcoming book Disaster Nation: An Ecocritical Study of Puerto Rican Culture.

This talk situates fisheries and foraging as a point of entry to South Africa’s Western Cape\, where bustling culinary and environmental tourism coincide with hunger and stratification. Connecting Zakes Mda’s 2005 novel The Whale Caller to contemporary cookbooks and restaurants\, the talk follows the changing meanings of endangered mollusks such as abalone: from their role in indigenous foodways\, to the 1990s “abalone wars\,” and to the appropriation of “indigenous foods” in eco-gastronomic cuisine. \nAdmission is free and open to the public\, and lunch will be provided. Guests are encouraged to arrive at 11:45 am for refreshments. \n\nBen Jamieson Stanley (they/them) is Assistant Professor of English at the University of Delaware\, where they are directing the launch of a new Center for Environmental Humanities. Ben’s research focuses on how we narrate and understand relationships among globalization\, empire\, and environmental precarity. Professor Stanley has also published on topics such as climate fiction\, veganism\, botanical gardens as tools of both empire and resistance\, and energy systems in Afrofuturist film. Their work can be found in journals such as ISLE: Interdisciplinary Studies in Literature and the Environment\, The Global South\, and Matatu: Journal for African Culture and Society. Professor Stanley is working on a second book tentatively titled Mobilities: Movement and Energy in a Changing South Africa\, which brings together questions of energy transition\, gender and sexuality\, and transit justice. \n  URL:https://www.clarku.edu/events/event/fishers-foragers-and-fine-diners/ LOCATION:Clark University\, Higgins Lounge\, Dana Commons – 2nd Floor CATEGORIES:Academic,Environment/Sustainability,Humanities ORGANIZER;CN="Alice Coonley Higgins Institute for Arts and Humanities":MAILTO:higginsinstitute@clarku.edu END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20250227T120000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20250227T130000 DTSTAMP:20260425T144320 CREATED:20241217T014145Z LAST-MODIFIED:20250218T205634Z UID:10000656-1740657600-1740661200@www.clarku.edu SUMMARY:Colloquium Speaker Series: Darla Munroe DESCRIPTION:Please stay tuned for more details!\nDarla Monroe URL:https://www.clarku.edu/events/event/colloquium-speaker-series-darla-munroe/ LOCATION:Lurie Conference Room\, Higgins University Center CATEGORIES:Education/Social Sciences,Environment/Sustainability,Science/Technology ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://www.clarku.edu/events/wp-content/uploads/sites/7/2025/01/Darla-Munroe.png END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20250220T120000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20250220T130000 DTSTAMP:20260425T144320 CREATED:20241213T220533Z LAST-MODIFIED:20250119T042903Z UID:10000653-1740052800-1740056400@www.clarku.edu SUMMARY:Colloquium Speaker Series: Jenny Goldstein DESCRIPTION:Starting with solutions: A Global Political Ecology of Algae Innovation\n \nNature–society scholars have taken on the green energy transition — but what about green materials? Despite the fossil fuel extraction and high emissions profiles associated with cement\, fertilizers\, and plastics\, there is little critical research on possible alternatives or on how a transition to a green materials future might take shape. Seaweed\, however\, is increasingly touted by scientists\, policymakers\, and investors for its potential as a climate-responsive replacement for fossil fuels in industrial applications such as plastics\, fertilizers\, fuels\, and animal feed. \nThis talk presents preliminary research from the North Atlantic and Southeast Asia on the political–ecological dimensions of technological innovation in the global seaweed industry. Dr. Goldstein first outlines the current barriers to and consequences of scaling up seaweed cultivation for a low-carbon future. She then argues that the bio-technical innovation of turning seaweed into a climate-responsive technology is a crucial locus of power through which to understand how the green materials transition may reproduce\, or reconfigure\, global development dynamics. \nJenny Goldstein is an assistant professor of global development at Cornell University\, an Atkinson Center for Sustainability faculty fellow\, and a core faculty member of Cornell’s Southeast Asian Studies Program. Jenny\, who is also the Director of Cornell’s Center for Social Sciences Qualitative and Interpretive Research Institute (QuIRI)\, is a political ecologist and human geographer who studies how data infrastructures\, digital technologies\, and artificial intelligence mediate nature-society relations. Her current research investigates the role of seaweed in shaping the future of green industrial materials within the global bioeconomy. \n  URL:https://www.clarku.edu/events/event/colloquium-speaker-series-jenny-goldstein/ LOCATION:Jefferson 218 CATEGORIES:Diversity/Equity/Inclusion,Environment/Sustainability,Science/Technology ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.clarku.edu/events/wp-content/uploads/sites/7/2025/01/Jenny-Goldstein.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20250206T120000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20250206T130000 DTSTAMP:20260425T144320 CREATED:20241213T214653Z LAST-MODIFIED:20250119T042847Z UID:10000651-1738843200-1738846800@www.clarku.edu SUMMARY:Colloquium Speaker Series: Amy Frazier DESCRIPTION:A Geographic Approach for Co-designing and Implementing ‘30×30’ Conservation Goals\n\nThe world is at a tipping point for biodiversity\, with over a million species threatened with extinction and climate change driving a redistribution of life on Earth. The recent Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework addresses some of these grand challenges by recommending that at least 30% of land and water be protected by 2030 (colloquially called “30×30”). However\, while agreements like these are a good start\, they are rarely successful in practice\, in part because there is often a disconnect between the geographic data and models being produced by scientists and the information that is needed for conservation decision-making on the ground. \nIn this talk\, Dr. Frazier will discuss how her team is working with various partners around the world to implement conservation projects to protect the planet and how an effective co-design approach can overcome some of the challenges of using geographic methods for conservation decision-making. Woven throughout are examples of how a geographic approach\, and particularly an understanding of the impacts of scale on analyses\, can enhance this decision-making. \nAmy Frazier is the Jack and Laura Dangermond Endowed Chair of Conservation Science at the University of California\, Santa Barbara. She previously held faculty appointments at Arizona State University and Oklahoma State University. Dr. Frazier holds an A.B. in environmental earth science from Dartmouth College\, an M.A. in geography from West Chester University\, and a Ph.D. in geography from the University at Buffalo. Dr. Frazier’s research focuses on integrating remote sensing\, GIS\, and landscape ecology to study global environmental change\, specifically to prevent the loss of biodiversity and ecosystem services.

Although many discussions surrounding the Arctic’s future rightly focus on climate change\, the concept of “many Arctics” – or the inherent diversity within the Arctic region – reminds us that multiple factors and drivers of change shape different areas in the north in different ways. This diversity is something to be celebrated in cultural and other contexts\, but it can also create challenges for local communities and policymakers alike in navigating intense changes and resolving the many visions of the region’s future that exist among rights- and stake-holders. \nThis lecture will focus on aspects of ongoing research titled “Converging Pressures on Arctic Development” that is funded by the National Science Foundation’s Navigating the New Arctic program. It will highlight geographical and geospatial research focused on characterizing the current and potential future human footprints in the region as a basis for exploring alternative scenarios for how today’s many Arctics might look by 2050. It will also present the results of a recently published paper examining diverging scenarios of socio-economic change. Despite the fact that the Arctic has been highlighted as an important area of dialogue and cooperation for decades\, this research suggests that finding common priorities – despite being more important than ever – may become even more difficult in the future.

Atwood Lecture: Mercedes Bustamante\, University of Brasilia DESCRIPTION:Mercedes Bustamante\, ecologist and professor at the University of Brasilia\, Brazil\,  will deliver the annual Wallace W. Atwood Lecture. \nBeyond forests: non-forested ecosystems and global change\n \nNon-forested ecosystems dominate more than a quarter of the world’s land area. They are widespread in the tropics\, making up grasslands and savannas\, presenting significant carbon stocks and biodiversity. While important initiatives are concerned with the conservation of forest ecosystems\, non-forest ecosystems (NFE)\, in contrast\, have not received equal attention. The Brazilian Cerrado\, the second largest biome in South America and a global hotspot for biodiversity conservation due to its biological richness and rapid loss of habitats\, represents some of the most fundamental challenges of current global crises. Despite the successful reversal of deforestation trends in the Amazon\, Cerrado deforestation continues to increase\, imperiling a biome that has already lost more than 50% of its original cover. Environmental changes may exacerbate land-use competition due to complex feedback processes between human and biophysical components in the land system\, with more severe impacts seen in the tropics due to their more significant land-based mitigation potential. Such complexity highlights how careful spatial planning\, robust scientific evidence\, and a better understanding of the political context are essential for sustainable climate policies. The achievement of the Paris Agreement requires more robust and more ambitious climate action with emphasis on the integrity of all ecosystems and the protection of biodiversity\, as climate change\, biodiversity\, and ecosystems are inextricably linked. \nhttps://bustamantelab.com.br/en/mercedes-bustamante-2/ URL:https://www.clarku.edu/events/event/wallace-w-atwood-lecture-mercedes-bustamante-university-of-brasilia/ LOCATION:Clark University – Tilton Hall\, 950 Main Street\, Worcester\, MA\, 01610\, United States CATEGORIES:Campus/Community,Diversity/Equity/Inclusion,Education/Social Sciences,Environment/Sustainability,Humanities,Science/Technology ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://www.clarku.edu/events/wp-content/uploads/sites/7/2025/01/mercedes-bustamante-featured.png END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20241120T120000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20241120T133000 DTSTAMP:20260425T144320 CREATED:20241115T002915Z LAST-MODIFIED:20250119T042322Z UID:10000600-1732104000-1732109400@www.clarku.edu SUMMARY:Lecture on Carbon Pricing and International Trade DESCRIPTION:As a part of  ECON307 “International Trade\,” Robin Sogalla (DIW Berlin/Harvard) will deliver a guest lecture on “Unilateral Carbon Pricing and Heterogeneous Firms.” He will discuss carbon emissions and economic welfare implications of the EU climate policy using a general equilibrium model of international trade with heterogeneous firms. \nDate and Time: November 20\, 2024\, 12:00 – 1:15 pm\nRoom: Jonas Clark Hall Rm218 \nContact: Kensuke Suzuki (Department of Economics; KSuzuki@clarku.edu) \n \n  \n  \n  URL:https://www.clarku.edu/events/event/lecture-on-carbon-pricing-and-international-trade/ LOCATION:Jonas Clark 218 CATEGORIES:Academic,Environment/Sustainability ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://www.clarku.edu/events/wp-content/uploads/sites/7/2025/01/2024-11-14.png END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20241114T121500 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20241114T131500 DTSTAMP:20260425T144320 CREATED:20240806T203153Z LAST-MODIFIED:20240806T203153Z UID:10000096-1731586500-1731590100@www.clarku.edu SUMMARY:Climate Narratives of Hope: Coral Refuge in the Red Sea – Eman Lasheen DESCRIPTION:Join Professor Lasheen for an engaging talk on Climate Narratives of Hope\, where she delves into the powerful intersection of climate action and storytelling\, focusing on the health and resilience of coral reefs in the Red Sea.
