Talk: “Gender and Los Angeles Residential Water: Use, Knowledge, and Justice in Water Conservation”
2025-03-04 12:00 - 13:30 | IoES Conference Room, La Kretz Hall - Suite 300, 619 Charles E. Young Drive East, Los Angeles, AR, 90095, United States

Abstract: This study brings feminist anthropological attention to the important but understudied role of gender—as it intersects with migration, class, and race—in residential water use in the United States. We reveal gender justice concerns about water use, management, and conservation. In the context of international development, research has shown that gender shapes water, especially because women and children are disproportionately responsible for procuring water. A large and separate body of research shows that, in the United States, household divisions of labor and decision-making are often gendered. This study, which is based on interviews, ethnographic observation, and water diary data from diverse households in four Los Angeles neighborhoods, found, first, that women disproportionately are responsible for the household management and use of water. Tellingly, we also find that most research participants deny that gender influences water use. Second, we found that gendered water use is shaped by and co-produced with structures of immigration, race, and class: immigrant households possess untapped knowledge about water and its conservation, and race and class shape people’s relations to water. Third, we found that household water troubles the water management categories of “residential” versus “commercial” water use, which correspond to the gendered categories of private versus public, thereby highlighting the “porosity” of household water use. This research shows why and how inequalities may be exacerbated by gender-evasive water management in the Global North.

La Kretz Center Seminar: What is Wild Animal Welfare? Exploring the science of wild animal welfare: research, challenges and future directions
2025-03-07 14:00 - 16:00 | 5100 Terasaki Life Science Building, 610 Charles E. Young Drive, East, Los Angeles, CA, 90095, United States
This seminar explores Wild Animal Welfare Science, an interdisciplinary field focused on assessing and improving animal welfare in natural environments. Researchers will present case studies and discuss applications.
Agenda

Introduction (10 min): Janire Castellano Bueno provides an overview.
Presentation + Q&A (40 min): Dave Daversa on wild animal responses to environmental stressors.
Presentation + Q&A (40 min): Andrew Sharo on behavioral and physiological welfare indicators.
Discussion & Wrap-Up (30 min): Future research and collaboration opportunities.

Speakers
Janire Castellano Bueno – Outreach Manager, Wild Animal Initiative; Postdoctoral Research Associate, Newcastle University.
Her research focuses on validating welfare indicators and integrating welfare into behavioral research. With a background in laboratory primate welfare, Janire specialized in long-term and cumulative welfare using behavioral and neuroimaging indicators. After completing her PhD, she shifted her focus to wild free-ranging species, continuing to emphasize welfare and welfare indicators.
Dave Daversa – Project Scientist, UCLA IoES; Research Fellow, Wild Animal Initiative.
His research examines the ecological consequences of global change. He studies how wild animals respond behaviorally and physiologically to stressors fueled by global change (e.g. infectious disease, extreme weather, human disturbance) and assesses how those responses lead to demographic change.
Who Should Attend?
Open to students, researchers and professionals in wildlife science, ecology and animal welfare.
To RSVP or send any inquiries, please contact Dave Daversa: ddaversa@ucla.edu.

Stanford Energy Seminar: Karen Scrivener | Realistic Strategies for Decarbonizing Construction
2025-03-14 10:00 - 10:50 | HYBRID: Shriram Center, Room 104, and Online, 443 Via Ortega, Stanford, CA, 94305, United States
The Stanford Energy Seminar has been a mainstay of energy engagement at Stanford for nearly 20 years and is one of the flagship programs of the Precourt Institute for Energy.
Talk abstract: “Construction” contributes around 20% of human related GHGs every year. This is from the embodied emissions of materials, the transportation and construction processes. These embodied emissions occur mainly “upfront” before the building or infrastructure is even in use and is then effectively “locked in”. This means it has become the most important part of emission from buildings and infrastructure in the coming decades, especially in light of the climate emergency we are facing. Furthermore, most new construction (about 80%) in the next 25 years will occur in the global south. In the light of this background, I will talk about strategies which have a realistic prospect to reduce emission fast and at scale. Large scale reduction can be made, even with existing technologies, especially if these are deployed in combination. LC3, limestone calcined clay cement stands out for the scale and comparative ease with which it can be implemented, but even here we have an uphill struggle due to lack of incentives. Nevertheless I feel now the tide is turning and we need to think how we can accelerate this process in the future.
Speaker Bio: Karen Scrivener is Professor of construction materials at EPFL Switzerland. A Materials Scientist by training, she has more than 40 year’s experience of research in the field of cement and concrete. She has more than 250 journal publication and was made a fellow of the UK Royal Society of Engineering in 2014. She is also a member of the UN Council of Engineers for the Energy Transition (CEET) and the “10 Member Group” overseeing the UN STI mechanisms. She is the inventor of LC3 (limestone calcined clay cement) which has the potential to save around 40% of CO2 compared to conventional cement.
Anyone with an interest in energy is welcome to join one seminar or all of them! You can enjoy seminars in the following ways:
