SUMMARY:Colloquium Speaker Series: Abbie Tingstad
DESCRIPTION:Many Arctics: What Does it Look Like and Why Is it Important for the Future of Governance in the Far North?\n\nThe Arctic is transforming in dramatic and complex ways through a myriad of pressures related to changes in climate\, social trends and demographic patterns\, economic opportunities\, geopolitics\, and technology. 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.

SUMMARY:Wallace W. 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/

SUMMARY:First Launch Space Centennial Kickoff
DESCRIPTION:The Wonder Mission is kicking off the First Launch Space Centennial — marking 100 years since Clark University alumnus and professor Robert Goddard\, aka the Father of Modern Rocketry\, launched the first liquid-fuel rocket — where Goddard’s passion for space began. \nOn an early October evening in 1899\, 17-year-old Robert Goddard climbed his family’s cherry tree and looked up into a sky full of stars and the bright planet Mars. At that moment\, having recently read H.G Wells’s “War of the Worlds\,“ he experienced a vision of space travel that occupied him for the rest of his life. Later\, he wrote in his journal\, “I was a different boy when I descended the ladder. Life now had purpose for me.” Every year thereafter\, Goddard celebrated it as his “Anniversary Day.” \nStudents and teachers from the Worcester Public Schools\, Worcester Technical High School\, Worcester Academy\, the Bancroft School\, Clark University\, and WPI have been invited to attend a short ceremony to help plant a new large cherry tree at Robert and Esther Goddard’s multi-generational home in Worcester. Like NASA’s moon tree project\, where seeds that were flown around the moon were distributed and planted at schools around the country\, seeds from the new Goddard tree will similarly be shared so students can grow their own “space trees.”

SUMMARY:The Belonging Talks: Sandra Grudić\, ‘The Messiness of Belonging’
DESCRIPTION:Join us for another installment of the Integration and Belonging Hub Webinar Series. \nSandra Grudić ponders the messiness of belonging\, drawing upon her refugee — and non-refugee — experiences.\n\n\n\nSandra Grudić was born in Bosnia and Hercegovina\, where she lived until she was thirteen years old. Due to the ethnic war and genocide in her home country\, Sandra and her family had to flee their hometown in 1993 and became refugees — first in Germany\, then in the United States. Barely a teen when she became a refugee\, Sandra learned German and English quickly and soon entered higher education. She attained her bachelor’s in secondary social science education from the University of South Florida\, and her master’s in comparative political science from the American Public University. Currently\, Sandra is a doctoral candidate at the Strassler Center for Holocaust and Genocide Studies at Clark University. Her dissertation is a microstudy of neighborliness and neighborhood violence in Bosanski Novi\, a small border town in northwestern Bosnia\, during the Bosnian conflict\, 1992–1995.
