Will the most damaging wildfire occur in the East?

In 2024 and 2025, thousands of wildfires burned in novel settings across the East, including unprecedented fires in populated regions like Long Island, New York, Massachusetts, and the Carolinas. While fires in the East have been considered rare, intensifying drought combined with limited preparedness could portend significant vulnerabilities in the future. Comparing wildfires in the West to wildland fire management in the East, this talk will explore the environmental, social, and governance frontiers in understanding this region’s potential risk.

Beyond Establishing Guilt: The Uses of Microhistory to Rethink the Yugoslav Wars
2026-02-19 12:00 - 14:00 | Strassler Center, 950 Main Street, Worcester, Massachusetts, 016010, United States
Speakers:

Max Bergholz (Professor of History at Concordia University)

Fedja Buric (Associate Professor of History at Bellarmine University)

Sandra Grudic (Program Administrator, Educator Outreach, Davis Center, Harvard University)

Discussant: Markp Kljajic (Posdoctoral Fellow, Weatherhead Research Cluster on Identity Politics)

This event explores how a micro historical approach can deepen our understanding of the Yugoslav Wars of the 1990s. Moving beyond and interpreting ICTY records and elite political accounts differently, it foregrounds local voices and everyday experiences to illuminate the complex dynamics of conflict at the community level. By engaging with sources such as oral histories, local archives, and court records, the discussion will focus on how ordinary people understood and experienced the war in ways that complicate nationalist narratives of fixed victimhood and perpetration. The workshop emphasizes the value of looking at the war “from the ground up” to reveal how communities navigated violence, solidarity, and survival. In doing so, it highlights the potential of microhistory not only to challenge linear, top-down interpretations but also to complicate the historiography of the Yugoslav Wars by centering human experiences that nationalist discourses often erase. Thomas Kuhne will moderate the discussion.

Geography Colloquium Series: Dr. Richard Harper & Jay Dampier
2026-02-26 12:00 - 13:00 | Lurie Conference Room, Higgins University Center
Title TBD

Richard (Rick) Harper-

“As a first-generation college graduate, I understand the challenges associated with socio-economic barriers. I and the members of the UMass Urban Forest Ecology Lab (UFEL) are committed to each other’s success and to increasing, retaining, and supporting others – including underrepresented students among the UMass student body. We are also wholeheartedly dedicated to doing our part to create a campus environment that applauds shared values like kindness and understanding, while celebrating difference and diversity among individuals. We are excited to be part of a community that strives to foster dignity and respect for all.

As Extension Faculty, my position involves initiating and expanding a broad-based integrated research & extension program in support of the management of municipal forests & urban landscapes. I administer the award-winning ‘Urban Forestry Today‘ monthly webcasts designed to meet real-time educational needs of practitioners, and I closely align outreach-programming efforts with cooperating associations & agencies. In addition to publishing in the scientific literature, I and the members of UFEL also contribute to professional journals and newsletters (Arborist News, ISA New England Chapter Newsletter, MA DCR Citizen Forester) read widely by practitioners & tree enthusiasts, alike.”

Jay Dampier-

Jay Dampier joined the Urban Forestry Team on June 3 as the new Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) grant coordinator. This is a federally funded project position that will be overseeing $4 million of federally funded grants awarded to Wisconsin communities, tribes and nonprofits. These IRA funds were allocated to the urban forestry program by the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) Forest Service in 2023. As part of the Justice 40 Initiative, 100% of the funds will be used to improve the urban forest resources and lives of those living in disadvantaged communities throughout the state.

Jay holds degrees in forest science and forestry from Lakehead University and a degree in environmental education from Southern Connecticut State University. He also earned a Certificate in Project Management from the University of Wisconsin-Madison and a professional certificate in program planning and evaluation from the University of Florida. Jay’s work has been published in Arboriculture & Urban Forestry, HortTechnology and the Journal of Rural & Community Development. As an ISA Certified Arborist, he is a proud member of the Wisconsin Arborist Association (WAA), where he was awarded the Mug Award for his contributions to the 2021 WAA/DNR Annual Conference when it was required to go entirely online.

For the past decade, Jay has been an integral part of UW-Madison Extension, spending the last five and a half years as a Horticulture Outreach Program Manager. He has also gained valuable experience beyond Wisconsin, serving as a Horticulture Educator with Cornell University Cooperative Extension and as a Business Development Officer for Lakehead University’s Center for Analytical Services. Throughout his career, Jay has effectively managed substantial grants and contracts and is enthusiastic about joining the DNR. “In this role, I am excited to apply my knowledge in tree care, project management and grant administration to help urban forestry thrive in Wisconsin’s disadvantaged communities.”

Jay will focus on implementing the DNR urban forestry IRA grant program and assisting partners in managing their IRA grant projects. He is based in Wautoma but will work with partners statewide.
