As an artist\, designer\, and educator\, Prof. Méndez delves into projects around the social and ecological impacts of the anthropocene. She has created artworks through fieldwork practice and collaborations that bridge across design\, science\, and humanities envisioning a just response to the entrenched causes of ecological crises for humans and the more-than-human world we share. Dr. DeLoughrey examines climate change and the anthropocene through environmental humanities. Her expansive work has bridged decoloniality\, Indigenous perspectives\, militarization\, and globalization\, with a focus on the Caribbean and Pacific Islands. \nTheir conversation will focus on how artistic\, scientific\, Indigenous\, feminist\, and environmental disciplinary lenses are employed to examine the diverse opportunities for interspecies friending beneath the sea surface. Dr. Méndez will be discussing her immersive 360º video art installation\, The Sea Around Us which portrays the Eastern Pacific Ocean as a place of rich interspecies connection and interaction. The art installation intimately explores the long-lasting effects of DDT pollution on oceanic life\, while forming an interdisciplinary bridge between science\, art\, and Indigenous cultures\, in order to encourage viewers to face environmental wrongings\, take restorative action\, and establish relationships with other species based on equality and reciprocity. Dr. DeLoughrey will be discussing an Oceanic worldview across art and science called “tidalectics” – which she defines as a methodological tool which investigates the entanglement between sea and land\, diaspora and indigeneity\, and routes and roots – and the dynamics of our more-than-human watery planet. She stresses the important contribution of “tidalectics” in forming complex and dynamic stories about the relationship between land and sea in order to challenge dominant narratives about Indigenous and inter-species exploitation. Ultimately\, Dr. Méndez and Dr. DeLoughrey will engage in a thoughtful conversation about humans’ relationships to watery environments in order to encourage relationships of reciprocity and respect with the ecologies\, species\, and cultures that are not only around us\, but a part of us. \nLinks:\nDr. Elizabeth DeLoughrey: https://english.ucla.edu/people-faculty/elizabeth-deloughrey/\nProfessor Rebeca Méndez: https://rebecamendez.com/\nhttps://Counterforcelab.org \nEyes in the Sky\, Birds in the Heart and Mind is Counterforce Lab’s 2023 lecture series exploring interspecies friendships and entering into conversations across disciplines. we ask how technology\, in combination with different knowledge systems and design\, can provide an avenue to connect with and learn from the more-than-human.

A central pillar of the environmental justice agenda is the Justice40 Initiative\, the first-ever federal environmental justice commitment attached to the goal of directing at least 40% of benefits to communities that have been disadvantaged\, marginalized\, underserved\, and overburdened by pollution. \nThe Justice40 initiative put a new spotlight on the historic inequities faced by frontline communities\, the impact the climate crisis has on their future\, and the opportunity to create a transformational clean energy economy that is inclusive of all Americans. The Initiative is being implemented using a “whole-of-government” approach that directs agencies to restructure how they operate\, redesign their strategies\, and be accountable for delivering on the administration’s goal. Currently\, 16 agencies have announced hundreds of programs now covered under the Justice40 Initiative. The policy promises to address environmental justice through major legislation\, including the Inflation Reduction Act\, the CHIPS and Science Act\, and the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law. \nWith billions of dollars in climate investment flowing to states and local communities\, how well has the Initiative delivered on its environmental justice goals? What is the public understanding of and engagement with Justice40? How are federal agencies collaborating with state and local policymakers to ensure alignment with Justice40 goals in implementation? What are the benefits being delivered to communities and how are agencies calculating those benefits? And what role can local leaders\, businesses and households play in advancing Justice40? \nJoin World Resources Institute on February 28\, for a conversation with Matthew Tejada\, Deputy Assistant Administrator for Environmental Justice at the Office of Environmental Justice and External Civil Rights\, and Carla Walker\, Director\, Environmental Justice and Equity at WRI United States. We’ll explore the above questions\, discuss how the Justice40 Initiative is transforming the climate landscape and the environmental justice movement\, discuss how benefits are reaching disadvantaged and historically marginalized communities\, and explore what more can be done to fully realize an equitable clean energy economy for all. The conversation will be followed by a panel of experts working to ensure environmental justice at state and local levels and the non-profit sector. \nREGISTER HERE \nFeatured Speaker:\nMatthew Tejada\, Deputy Assistant Administrator for Environmental Justice\, Office of Environmental Justice and External Civil Rights \nSpeakers\nJulia Jeanty\, Senior Policy Manager\, Data for Progress \nColleen Callahan\, Co-Executive Director\, Luskin Center for Innovation at UCLA \nNaadiya Hutchinson\, Government Affairs Manager\, WE ACT for Environmental Justice \nDan Lashof\, Director\, United States\, World Resources Institute \nCarla Walker\, Director of Environmental Justice and Equity\, United States\, World Resources Institute (Moderator) URL:https://sustain.ucla.edu/event/two-years-of-justice40-how-the-initiative-is-delivering-solutions-to-the-climate-crisis/ LOCATION:Online END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20230228T120000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20230228T123000 DTSTAMP:20260403T134043 CREATED:20230201T022429Z LAST-MODIFIED:20230201T022429Z UID:16861-1677585600-1677587400@sustain.ucla.edu SUMMARY:Vital Matters: Jainism and Ecology DESCRIPTION:Drawing inspiration from the sacred landscapes depicted on devotional textiles presented in Visualizing Devotion: Jain Embroidered Shrine Hangings\, Venu Mehta will discuss intersections of ascetic principles\, spirituality and sociocentric environmentalism in the twenty-five-hundred-year-old tradition of Jainism.

Kim\, Associate Professor at Loyola Marymount\, for a conversation about her book that examines race\, class\, gender\, and citizenship with respect to the growing social phenomenon of marginalized and unauthorized immigrants – especially women and youth. The hybrid event will be held on March 1\, 2023\, from 3:30-5 PM with a reception held after the event from 5-6 PM. \n“Refusing Death” examines race\, class\, gender and citizenship with respect to the growing social phenomenon of marginalized and unauthorized immigrants – especially women and youth – making political inroads by way of grassroots activism\, at times\, sidestepping the need for formal political channels. By way of nearly four years of ethnographic observation\, in-depth interviews\, and documents analysis of Asian American and Latin@ environmental justice activism in the industrial-port belt of Los Angeles\, she finds that these mostly female immigrant activists view their work as much more than an effort to spare their children’s lungs from the gray plumes of cargo ships and oil refineries; they are also redefining notions of politics\, community\, and citizenship in the face of America’s nativist racism and its system of class injustice\, defined by disproportionate pollution and neglected schools\, surveillance/deportation\, and political marginalization. \nBy inventively dovetailing all of these dimensions\, the women show that they are highly conscious of how environmental and educational harms are an assault on their bodies and emotions; hence\, they center embodied and affective strategies to uniquely challenge the neoliberal state’s neglect and betrayal and\, ultimately\, to refuse death. \nRegister for Zoom webinar HERE \nRSVP for reception HERE URL:https://sustain.ucla.edu/event/winter-2023-labor-speaker-series-reception-refusing-death-immigrant-women-and-the-fight-for-environmental-justice-in-la-book-talk/ LOCATION:Online and 10383 Bunche Hall\, 11282 Portola Plaza\, Los Angeles\, CA\, 90095\, United States ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://sustain.ucla.edu/wp-content/uploads/2023/02/labor-nadia-kim.png END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20230301T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20230301T170000 DTSTAMP:20260403T134043 CREATED:20230227T190155Z LAST-MODIFIED:20230404T234004Z UID:17115-1677686400-1677690000@sustain.ucla.edu SUMMARY:Electric Vehicles: Can They Deliver on Their Promise?
