Building Eco-Futures

Emerging from discussions of the Rutgers-Newark Climate Action Group, The Clement A. Price Institute invites you to join us in-person or online for a working session exploring ways to better understand and develop good collaborations between community-based research and campus-based research.

The panel will be exploring:

What are immediate community research needs and how might university resources support them?

What are shared understandings and working principles we can create to guide campus-to-community research partnerships ahead?

This session will consider ways of bridging approaches to academic and community research for climate action and toward ecological justice in our region.

Presenters

Anthony Diaz, Co-founder of the Newark Water Coalition

Natasha Dyer, Executive Director of the Greater Newark Conservancy

Kevin Lyons, Co-Director of the Office of Climate Action

Moderated by Jack Tchen, Director of the Price Institute

About the Series

The Clement A. Price Institute continues the Fall 2022 Series of Urgent Conversations Toward Just Ecological Futures with the recognition that multidisciplinary scholarship and cross-community exploration of the regional crises of land, water, place, food, and climate. This series strives to break down silos of knowledge and practice. We gather engaged, creative, and thoughtful people who learn by doing. We seek to acknowledge Indigenous knowledges, of islands, the Americas, African, Asia and our planet, with the rigorous relational explorations of ecosystems.

The Price Institute is committed to cultivating deep historical understanding of and working toward just ecological futures in our region and beyond. The series will hold regular in-person and live stream public gatherings.

All are welcome. For more information about the event, email priceinstitute@newark.rutgers.edu
