SUMMARY:Shigeru Ban at The Hammer - Talk and Book Signing
DESCRIPTION:Shigeru Ban stands as one of contemporary architecture’s most radical humanists\, fusing structural innovation with profound social commitment. A 2014 Pritzker Prize laureate\, Ban pioneered the structural use of recycled cardboard tubes\, beginning in the mid-1980s with exhibition designs and evolving into disaster relief architecture deployed across five continents. His Paper Log Houses\, first realized for Vietnamese refugees after the 1995 Kobe earthquake\, exemplify architecture’s capacity for urgent social response. The 2013 Cardboard Cathedral in Christchurch—at 79 feet tall—demonstrates how “temporary” materials can achieve civic monumentality and community permanence. Ban’s philosophy\, “I don’t like waste\,” encapsulates his practice—transforming material economy into architectural poetry while maintaining unwavering commitment to humanitarian crises from Rwanda to Ukraine. \nShigeru Ban will be available for a book signing after the talk. Copies of Shigeru Ban: Timber in Architecture (Rizzoli) and Shigeru Ban. Complete Works 1985–Today (Taschen) will be available to purchase at the Hammer Store between 11am – 8pm and\, supply depending\, outside the theater after the talk. Book purchase does not guarantee entry. \nTicketing: Admission is free. Your seat will be assigned to you when you pick up your ticket at the box office. Seats are assigned on a first come\, first served basis\, limit one per visitor. Box office opens one hour before the event. \nMORE EVENT INFO HERE

SUMMARY:Fire Tender: Documentary Screening and Discussion
DESCRIPTION:An exploration and discussion on Indigenous fire stewardship \nJoin the UCLA Center for the Study of Women | Streisand Center for a screening of the short film Fire Tender\, directed by Roni Jo Draper (Yurok) and Marissa Lila\, followed by a discussion. \nFire Tender tells the story of Yurok tribal members returning to traditional fire practices as an essential form of land stewardship. The film centers on Margo Robbins—grandmother\, cultural educator\, healer\, and Indigenous fire practitioner—who is leading efforts to restore Yurok fire sovereignty: the right to use fire for tribal land care\, a practice outlawed under settler colonial policies. Through her work\, Robbins challenges more than a century of environmentally destructive anti-fire policies that have endangered Yurok lands and restricted access to the natural resources necessary for clean water\, food\, and traditional lifeways. \nThe screening highlights Indigenous-led efforts to reintroduce prescribed fire as an essential land management tool\, connecting environmental health\, cultural continuance and climate resilience in fire-adapted landscapes. \nSeating is first come\, first served. No registration required. \nAttendees are welcome to bring their lunch for the 30-minute screening and discussion to follow. \nLearn more about the film. This event is part of programming for Thinking Gender 2026: “Feminist & Queer Ecologies.” Register for the conference.

SUMMARY:Botany Brown Bag with Dr. Andy Kleinhesselink
DESCRIPTION:Join for another installment of Botany Brown Bag. Dr. Andy Kleinhesselink will give a talk titled “A Scrap of Nature: Rediscovering UCLA’s Native Plants on Sage Hill.” \nOne-hundred years ago\, UCLA began constructing the Westwood campus on 419 of acres of open pasture\, riparian\, and coastal scrub habitat. Within 40 years\, nearly all of that open space and most of the native species were gone\, replaced by lawns\, buildings\, and parking lots. Nevertheless\, a few small patches of natural habitat and about 50 native plant species survived. But which native species were lost? And which species should we attempt to bring back? Dr. Andy Kleinhesselink\, the Managing Director of Sage Hill\, will describe how he uses herbaria collections\, historical photos and other data to piece together a more complete picture of campus’ past biodiversity. He will discuss how this history guides our plans for restoring Sage Hill\, and how we can use the story of biodiversity on campus to bring lessons about conservation and restoration to life for UCLA undergraduates. \nMake sure to bring your lunch! \nThis event is free and open to the public\, no RSVP required!

SUMMARY:The Road to Repair: Transforming Infrastructure to Advance Environmental Justice
DESCRIPTION:A mini-symposium from the UCLA Institute of Transportation Studies \nREGISTER HERE \nThe automobile-dominated transportation system has historically and disproportionately harmed low-income communities and communities of color\, dividing neighborhoods\, increasing exposure to traffic and noise pollution\, and contributing to long-term health and economic disparities. This virtual mini-symposium explores how innovative\, justice-focused approaches to freeway removal can repair these harms\, reconnect communities\, and create more equitable and sustainable urban environments\, issues highly relevant to transportation planning\, policy\, and engineering. The mini-symposium features two panels: \nPanel 1: Impacts and Inequities of Freeway Construction\nThis panel examines the social\, environmental\, and health impacts of freeway construction\, with a focus on racial-ethnic disparities in exposure to traffic-related air pollution\, displacement\, and community severance. Panelists will discuss how transportation planning and infrastructure policies have marginalized communities of color and created persistent inequities. \n\nAdam Paul Susaneck\, AECOM/Segregation By Design\nDemetria Murphy\, Estolano Advisors\nAmy Castaneda\, Environmental Health Coalition\nDilia Ortega\, Communities for a Better Environment\n\nPanel 2: Solutions and Opportunities in Freeway Removal\nThe second panel explores innovative strategies to reimagine urban transportation. Panelists will discuss freeway removal\, boulevard replacement\, and investments in public transit and active transportation as tools to reconnect communities\, reduce environmental harm\, and promote transportation equity. Case studies\, including California examples\, will highlight planning\, policy\, and design strategies to advance environmental justice. \n\nDr. Ben Crowther\, America Walks\nRandolph Belle\, Outreach Lead for Vision 980\nYesenia Perez\, Senior Program Manager for Climate Equity\, The Greenlining Institute\n\nWhy Attend\nAttendees will gain insights into both the systemic challenges posed by freeway construction and the transformative potential of equity-driven transportation planning that prioritizes equity\, environmental justice\, and community well-being. The mini-symposium is designed to foster dialogue between researchers\, students\, and policymakers on practical and innovative solutions for more just and sustainable transportation systems.

SUMMARY:Chinese Global Environmentalism: A Book Talk with Alex Wang
DESCRIPTION:We find ourselves in a remarkable moment in global environmental governance. China actively supports green development on the global stage\, while the US has rejected the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change and actively opposes the development of renewable energy and electric vehicles. \nProf. Alex Wang will discuss his new book Chinese Global Environmentalism\, in conversation with Mary Nichols. which examines how China came to embrace green development and the ways in which China promotes a developmental form of environmentalism through green ideology\, diplomacy\, economic statecraft\, and international development cooperation. \nThe talk will touch on a number of case studies that shed light on China’s approach\, including cases of Chinese green investment in Chile\, environmental conflicts in Kenya\, hydropower development in Southeast Asia\, global climate negotiations\, and Chinese dominance in clean technology development. \nThe book can be purchased here and at the following link: https://cup.org/49B6z56. A reception will follow the book talk. \nProf. Alex Wang is a Professor of Law and the Walter and Shirley Wang Chair in US-China Relations and Communications at UCLA Law School. He is also the Faculty Co-Director of UCLA’s Emmett Institute on Climate Change and the Environment. \nREGISTER HERE \n
