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:20260403T143153 CREATED:20230227T190155Z LAST-MODIFIED:20230404T234004Z UID:17115-1677686400-1677690000@sustain.ucla.edu SUMMARY:Electric Vehicles: Can They Deliver on Their Promise?

REGISTER HERE. \nToday\, the solid waste landfills sector accounts for 20% of global methane emissions\, and is the third largest source of anthropogenic methane emissions in the United States. Additionally\, it is anticipated that the total generation of municipal solid waste (MSW) will increase by 70% by 2050 as a result of a growing population. This increase in waste generation has the potential to drive a proportionate increase in landfill gas (LFG)\, which is primarily methane and carbon dioxide (CO2) — the two greatest contributors to global warming. \nAs two large economies\, China and California are now taking actions to reduce methane emissions from the solid waste sector. Since different policies and technologies are adopted in the two jurisdictions\, both sides can share lessons-learned and experiences with one another. Join us to hear from issue-experts on these topics\, including about the launch of a new California-China Climate Institute report which focuses on lessons-learned from California. \nAgenda \n5:00 PT Discussion is Opened by Moderator\, Ken Alex\, Director\, Project Climate\, Center for Law\, Energy\, and Environment\, UC Berkeley \n5:00 PT Opening remarks \n\nJiang Lin\, Nat Simons Presidential Chair in China Energy Policy\, Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory\n\n5:05 PT Introduction of Waste Methane Report \n\nRixin Zhu\, Methane Policy Fellow\, California-China Climate Institute\n\n5:25 PT Commentary and Reactions on Addressing Waste Methane \n\nMatthew Harrison\, Manager of the Short-Lived Climate Pollutant Policy Section\, California Air Resources Board\nDr. Xiao Liu\, Project Director\, Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) GmbH\n\n6:00 PT Open Discussion and Audience Q & A \n6:20 PT Closing Remarks \n\nDr. Meian Chen\, Innovative Green Development Program (iGDP)\n\nThis webinar series is organized by the California-China Climate Institute\, in partnership with the Innovative Green Development Program (iGDP).
