      Yale Alumni Academy and the Yale School of the Environment have assembled a distinguished roster of expert faculty to address the leading climate change issues facing our wonderous planet. Please join us as we discuss Problems of Resource Management Facing Tribes and Indigenous People in an Age of Climate Disruption with Professor Gerald Torres. One of the signal events in Federal resource management has been the active engagement of Tribal Nations in shared resource management. Whether this stems from treaty obligations or from the amount of public land within the ambit of tribal resource use, the new federal position has been to work cooperatively with Tribal Nations. While there are many examples, we will begin by examining the model of Bears Ears and then look back at other examples. Sorting through the various sources of responsibility and authority requires critically evaluating the sovereign powers exercised by both parties and the resulting evolving accommodations. Of course, the legal landscape is only one part of the investigation. The impact of anthropogenic climate disruption raises new issues and challenges ranging from depleted water supplies to impacts on species important to tribal nations. How these conflicts will be resolved is unfolding in current policy initiatives. Resolving resource conflicts implicates our commitment to democratic policy-making and our continued commitment to scientific resource management. Moreover, recognizing indigenous knowledge as a critical component of resource use decision-making requires an appreciation for the depth of knowledge traditional approaches bring.

      Yale Alumni Academy and the Yale School of the Environment have assembled a distinguished roster of expert faculty to address the leading climate change issues facing our wonderous planet. Please join us as we discuss Double Mitigation: Exploring Equitable Climate Change and Health Pathways with Dr. Daniel Carrión. Society is grappling with two fundamental questions: 1) how do we address entrenched social inequality, and 2) how do we mitigate the greenhouse gases that are driving our climate crisis? Studying the immediate health benefits of climate mitigation is often referred to as “co-benefits”; however, this framing makes health benefits ancillary to the decarbonization. In this Climate Change Conversation, we will discuss how simultaneously mitigating greenhouse gases and health disparities can, and should, be prioritized when selecting societal decarbonization pathways.

      Yale Alumni Academy and the Yale School of the Environment have assembled a distinguished roster of expert faculty to address the leading climate change issues facing our wondrous planet. Please join us as we discuss Drought, Flooding, and Adaptation in the Age of Climate Change with Dr. Shimon Anisfeld. What happens when a society built around a certain level of water availability finds itself facing a climate-change-induced megadrought? What happens when stormwater infrastructure designed to handle the 100-year storm is faced with sea-level rise and more intense flood events? This talk will discuss the ways that climate change is affecting the hydrologic cycle, and the ways that planners and water managers are adapting to those changes. Two themes will be central to our conversation: 
      Variability: Floods and droughts (sometimes in close succession) are manifestations of the inherent variability of the hydrologic cycle, a variability that is being amplified by climate change. Our tools for understanding variability are rooted in using the past as a guide to the future; what do we do when we expect the future to be different from the past?

      Resilience: The damage done by a flood or drought is a function not just of the physical event, but also of where and how we live and work. Climate change is uncovering long-standing vulnerabilities in our water-management systems – indeed, in our patterns of development; can we adapt in ways that increase our resilience both to climate change and to other stressors?

It also examines how successive generations of historians have written and re-written the story of slavery in relation to the nation and its origins. This includes debates over enslavement as lived experience, as migration, as a massive political and economic problem, and as a question of memory and redress, among other topics. Speakers will address the many questions at the heart of the problem of how universities are attempting to face their past, especially in relation to race and slavery. The program will be moderated by David Blight, who has led the Yale and Slavery Research Project and is the principal author of Yale and Slavery: A History (Yale University Press, February 2024). Sponsored by the Gilder Lehrman Center for the Study of Slavery, Resistance, and Abolition at the MacMillan Center at Yale. Co-sponsored by the Office of the President, Yale University; and the Yale and Slavery Research Project. Moderator: David W.

Brophy, of Slavery and the University: History and Legacies (University of Georgia Press, 2019); and co-founder and co-leader (from 2003 to 2012) of Emory University’s Transforming Community Project, which addressed the question of how predominantly white institutions of higher learner can and should re-think their missions in light of long legacies of racial inequality. · Scott Spillman, Gilder Lehrman Center Postdoctoral Associate, Fall 2023; and author of the forthcoming book: “Making Sense of Slavery: An American History,” which argues that justifications for and critiques of slavery are central to the development of U.S. intellectual history. · Rachel L. Swarns, Professor of journalism at New York University; contributing writer for The New York Times; and author of The 272: The Families Who Were Enslaved and Sold to Build the American Catholic Church (Random House, 2023), which tells the story of Georgetown University, its early history in relation to slavery and its struggle to reckon with discoveries of its past. · Craig Wilder, Barton L. Weller Professor of History at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology; and author of numerous books, essays, and articles, including Ebony and Ivy: Race, Slavery, and the Troubled History of America’s Universities (Bloomsbury, 2013), the most influential book on the history of how universities evolved in relation to slavery.
