SUMMARY:Constructing Representation: Approaches to Migration and Race
DESCRIPTION:Andrea Mitchell Center graduate student workshop\, featuring Ezekiel Vergara and Maryam Nahhal.\n\n\nThe Andrea Mitchell Center invites you to its second graduate student workshop of 2024-25\, featuring Maryam Nahhal of Johns Hopkins University and Ezekiel Vergara from the University of Pennsylvania. \nThis is a hybrid event  —  the Zoom links will be sent to all participants. \nPapers will also be sent to all registered guests. \nMaryam Nahhal is a fourth year PhD candidate in Political Science at Johns Hopkins University. She completed my BA in International Relations at Queen Mary\, University of London\, and my MLitt in International Security Studies at the University of St. Andrews. Her research interests include the political development of racial classifications and racialised precarity. Her current work focuses on the U.S. census and the racial classification of Arab Americans. \nEzekiel Vergara is a third-year Ph.D. student in the University of Pennsylvania’s Department of Philosophy. He completed his undergraduate degree at Dartmouth College\, where he studied Philosophy and Government. Prior to starting his Ph.D.\, Vergara worked at the Yale Program on Financial Stability\, where he studied governments’ responses to financial crises. Vergara’s research interests primarily lie in political philosophy\, ethics\, and metaethics. In political philosophy\, he is interested in global justice\, liberal political thought\, and debates about ideal/non-ideal theory. In ethics\, he is interested in the ethics of self-defense\, the ethics of economic foreign policy\, and our duties to future people. He also likes to think about relational accounts of morality and consequentialism. In metaethics\, he is interested in non-naturalism and moral disagreement. \nDoes Political Equality Demand That You Move?By Ezekiel Vergara \nSome representative schemes are population-sensitive. How much representation a group gets depends on the size of the represented population. Other representative schemes are population-insensitive. In these schemes\, how much representation a group gets does not turn on the size of the represented population.In this paper\, I am interested in population-insensitive schemes. I maintain that population-insensitive schemes lead to an unjustifiable inequality in political influence. Those who live in less populous areas are afforded more political influence than those in more populous areas. Like other causes of unequal political influence\, I think that we have an obligation to mitigate it. \nWhile there are different ways to mitigate this inequality\, I focus on Rearrangement. Such a policy encourages the redistribution of population\, such that each representative subunit has roughly the same population. To argue for Rearrangement\, I proceed as follows. In Section I\, I clarify my focus on political influence. In Section II\, I discuss cases in which we think that we ought to intervene to address unequal political influence. In Section III\, I suggest that we have the same reasons to address the unequal political influence that results from population-insensitive schemes. In Section IV\, I provide a sketch of what Rearrangement would require. Such a policy encourages the redistribution of population\, such that each representative subunit has roughly the same population. I maintain that such a program is not only practically plausible\, but also that it holds philosophical merits. In Sections V and VI\, I argue that it is not too demanding\, and it respects the value that liberals accord to culture. It also promotes the independent value of diversity. \nHomeland (In)Security and the racialisation of the Arab in AmericaBy Maryam Nahhal \nThe study of racial formation in the United States has generally ignored the role of Islam and Islamophobia in the construction of racial categories. This became exponentially more apparent after 9/11 with the substantial increase in surveillance\, unlawful detentions\, hate crimes\, and media rhetoric targeting Muslims and those perceived to be so\, as well as military interventions in sovereign countries in the Middle East. This paper seeks to understand the racialisation of a category of people that had hitherto been mostly absent from racial politics literature. I argue that predominantly Christian Arab immigrants enjoyed a relatively benign position within the US racial system in the first half of the twentieth century. While this position was not uncontested\, both by the courts and by the nativist backlash of the early 20th century\, the Christian Arab was granted legal status as white on the basis of a shared Christian heritage. It was not until the 1960s that the Arab\, while still officially white in legal instruments such as the Census\, lost the invisibility and protections that such whiteness had granted them. This shift is linked to the increased immigration of Muslim Arabs following the 1965 Immigration Act\, as well as the US’s increased interests and involvement in the Middle East during the Cold War\, which shaped its relationship with its own Arab population. I will show how the coincidence of a series of international conjunctures\, from the establishment of the state of Israel\, Johnson’s 1965’s Immigration Act\, the 1967 Arab-Israeli War\, the Iranian Revolution\, the 1970 oil embargo and other international crises drastically changed American perceptions about Arabs\, highlighting the impact of American foreign policy on Arab diasporas in the U.S. While significant\, 9/11 intensified and systematised existing patterns but it by no means instigated them.

SUMMARY:Global Water Alliance 17th Annual Conference
DESCRIPTION:Hey there! Get ready for the 17th Annual Global Water Alliance Conference where experts will discuss the latest water solutions worldwide.\n\n\n17th Annual GWA Conference\nNature-based Solutions for WaSH: Resilience for Humans and Nature\n \nCo-hosted by Temple University College of Engineering\nThe Global Water Alliance’s (GWA) annual 1-day conference will address the power of nature as a promising and cost-effective strategy to strengthen climate resilience while pursuing sustainable development goals. What does “nature-based” mean when seeking access to safe water\, high-quality sanitation\, and opportunities to practice safe hygiene? \nNature-based solutions are intended to benefit the ecosystem while mitigating climate impacts\, improving water quality\, access to freshwater\, and quality of life. What once were strong water\, sanitation\, and hygiene (WaSH) practices need to be reevaluated and updated so that the ecosystem is not an externality. This is a paradigm shift in the way we define these problems and develop solutions. Our conference will explore how to create inclusive policies\, practices\, and technologies. Leaders in the field will discuss access to safe water for nature and humans\, as well as strategies for the integration of sanitation systems within their respective environments. \nWe welcome practitioners\, educators\, students\, and organizations to attend this interdisciplinary conference. Continuing education credits can be earned and there will be opportunities to network and participate in discussions. \nOur conference is conveniently scheduled the day before the annual Careers in the Water Industry organized by the Water Center at the University of Pennsylvania\, making it easy to attend both events. \nContinetental Breakfast and Boxed Lunch are included in ticket prices. \nGWA members receive a discounted conference rate. If you are interested in membership\, please visit our Membership Page before purchasing your tickets. \nVisit the Conference Website for more information including the Conference Agenda. \n——— \n \nNot able to join us in Philadelphia? You can attend virtually!\nThis is a hybrid conference with in-person and virtual attendees. As a virtual attendee\, you can watch the conference in real time and participate in Q&A through chat. Virtual attendees do not pay a registration fee. \nREGISTER HERE to attend virtually through Zoom.

DESCRIPTION:Join us for a conversation about climate finance ahead of COP29.\n\n\nAs global temperatures continue to rise\, so does the urgency for transformative climate finance to mitigate greenhouse gas emissions and adapt to climate impacts globally. But how the world will raise and wield the finance needed – some US$3 trillion a year globally by 2030 – remains fraught. \nPolicymakers are negotiating mileposts like the NCQG (New Collective Quantified Goal)\, an agreed amount developed countries will provide to developing countries for climate action. But the reality is that no matter what they agree\, it won’t be enough. The debate on how to reorient the global financial architecture to support climate-resilient development continues\, with the private sector expected to raise 70% of the trillions needed. \nCan the right regulatory and policy changes be woven into the world’s financial fabric to incentivize corporate action? Can private sector finance pave the way for a quick\, efficient\, and fair energy transition? What roles should civil society and multilateral institutions play? \nJoin Perry World House for this important conversation in the lead up to COP29\, “the finance COP” to learn how to think about these critical questions. \n\n\nSPEAKERS\n \nPaul Bodnar is the director of sustainable finance\, industry\, and diplomacy at the Bezos Earth Fund. He most recently served as global head of sustainable investing at BlackRock\, where he helped build the firm’s $500 billion sustainable funds business\, and also served as head of sustainability policy and engagement. \nPrior to joining BlackRock\, Bodnar held a variety of leadership positions in finance\, government\, and civil society. He was chief strategy officer and Executive Council member at RMI (formerly Rocky Mountain Institute)\, where he founded the Center for Climate-Aligned Finance. Paul served in the Obama White House as special assistant to the president and senior director for energy and climate change at the National Security Council. Prior to that\, Paul served at the State Department as U.S. lead negotiator for climate finance. \nEarlier in his career\, Bodnar was director for carbon finance at Climate Change Capital’s $1.2 billion carbon fund\, where he structured the fund’s largest investments. He was also co-founder and partner at Vertis Environmental Finance\, a leading European environmental commodity brokerage. Bodnar holds a BA from Stanford and an MA from Harvard. \n \nThilmeeza Hussain is the director of the United Nations Regional Commissions New York Office. She formerly served as ambassador and permanent representative of the Maldives to the United Nations and non-resident high commissioner to Canada since 2019. Alongside these roles\, she was co-chair of the Circle of Women Ambassadors to the UN\, led the preparatory committee for the Fourth International Conference on Small Island Developing States\, and was coordinator of the Gender Advisory Board of the president of the 77th UN General Assembly. From 2019 to 2022\, Hussain served as ambassador of the Maldives to the United States.  \nPrior to these diplomatic appointments\, she was an adjunct professor of sustainability at Ramapo College’s School of Social Sciences and Human Services. From 2009 to 2012\, Hussain was the deputy permanent representative of the Maldives to the UN\, working on issues including gender\, climate change\, and sustainable development\, but resigned after a coup d’état that overthrew her country’s first democratically elected government. Hussain holds a master’s degree in business management from Colorado Technical University and a bachelor’s degree from Murdoch University.

SUMMARY:Real Reliability: The Value of Virtual Power
DESCRIPTION:Learn more about Virtual Power Plants (VPPs) and their potential for facilitating affordable decarbonization of the power sector.\n\n\nBoxed lunches will be available to go following the talk!\n\n\nConsumers are adopting clean\, flexible technologies such as smart thermostats\, electric vehicles\, and batteries at a rapid rate. Virtual power plants (VPPs) combine these technologies across participating customers to create a resource that can reduce\, shift\, or generate electricity when needed. By providing these services to the power system\, VPPs can make significant contributions to grid reliability while directly compensating those consumers who participate. This presentation will introduce the concept of VPPs\, describe their potential for facilitating affordable decarbonization of the power sector\, and address barriers to deploying VPPs at scale. \n \nSpeaker\nRyan Hledik is a Principal of The Brattle Group. His consulting practice focuses on regulatory\, planning\, and strategy matters related to emerging energy technologies and policies. Mr. Hledik’s work on the grid edge has been cited in federal and state regulatory decisions\, as well as by Forbes\, National Geographic\, The New York Times\, Vox\, and The Washington Post. He has published more than 30 articles on electricity matters\, presented at industry events in 10 countries\, and assisted clients in matters related to energy storage\, load flexibility\, distributed generation\, electrification\, retail rate design\, energy efficiency\, and grid modernization. Ryan received his M.S. in Management Science and Engineering from Stanford University\, where he concentrated in Energy Economics and Policy. He received his B.S. in Applied Science from the University of Pennsylvania\, with minors in Economics and Mathematics. \nModerator\nSanya Carley is the faculty director of the Kleinman Center and Presidential Distinguished Professor of Energy Policy and City Planning at the Stuart Weitzman School of Design. She holds secondary appointments at the Wharton School and the School of Social Policy and Practice. She also co-directs the Energy Justice Lab and is a Resources for the Future (RFF) university fellow. \nCarley’s research focuses on energy justice and just transitions\, energy insecurity\, electricity and transportation markets\, and public perceptions of energy infrastructure and technologies. With the Energy Justice Lab team\, she built and maintains the Utility Disconnection Dashboard. Carley is an author of the Fifth National Climate Assessment report and a member of the Innovation Policy Forum and the Roundtable on Macroeconomics and Climate-related Risks and Opportunities\, respectively\, for the National Academies. \n\n\nWe look forward to welcoming guests to the Kleinman Center’s Energy Forum. In accordance with the University of Pennsylvania’s COVID-19 guidelines\, masks are optional for all visitors. Boxed lunches will be available to go following the event!

SUMMARY:AAMP Family Fun Day: History is Alive! Sojourner Truth Storytime
DESCRIPTION:On October 13\, 2024\, from 1 to 3 PM\, get ready for an unforgettable adventure as we step into history with the legendary Sojourner Truth! Start your visit off by meeting Sojourner in the Conversations Gallery 2 at 1 PM for a Black History pop quiz game. Stop by the front desk and grab your materials for the scavenger hunt to uncover clues hidden throughout the museum’s galleries. \nAt 2 PM\, we invite our youngest guests and their families to gather in the Jack T. Franklin Auditorium for an electrifying storytime. Listen and learn as Sojourner delivers a dramatic reading about life on the Underground Railroad with her brave companions. \nDon’t miss this chance to relive history in a way you’ve never experienced! \nAbout Dr. Daisy Century\, Sojourner Truth Re-Enactor: \nDaisy Century 2 \nDr. Daisy Century and Ms. Sojourner Truth are both powerful singers and very intelligent women\, whether self-taught or academically trained. Almost as impressively tall as the woman she portrays\, Century gives a commanding performance of Ms. Truth\, bringing to life a woman undeterred by incredible obstacles\, a woman who mixed with the leading figures of her day\, including Susan B. Anthony\, Abraham Lincoln\, and Ulysses S. Grant. Audience members are urged to \nconsider the twin goals of racial and gender parity of equal importance. We are inspired by Ms. Truth’s fiery wit\, as exemplified by her rejoinder to a Screenshot 2024-09-20 163037comment that since she smoked a pipe (at one time)\, her conduct did not reflect cleanliness being next to godliness. Said Sojourner\, “When I die\, I expect to leave my breath behind.” The audience has the opportunity to sign Sojourner Truth’s Book of Life\, signifying their connection to Ms. Truth’s legacy. \nInformation pulled from Characters | Dr. Daisy Century.

SUMMARY:Death & Life at Mt. Moriah Cemetery
DESCRIPTION:Mount Moriah is the largest cemetery in Pennsylvania\, and home to some of our city’s finest grave architecture.\n\n\nMount Moriah is the largest cemetery in Pennsylvania\, and home to some of our city’s finest grave architecture. Trees and vines have engulfed the gravestones in some areas\, giving the place the atmosphere of a lost city in the jungle. Almost every style of tomb can be found here\, from Egyptian Revival to Art Nouveau. Guests will learn about the role of cemeteries as a place for leisure in the Victorian era\, as well as the influence of the Freemasons. Part wilderness and part sculpture-garden\, this city of the dead is by turns eerie and poignant. Join Hidden City as we peel back the canopy and reveal the wonders below. \n \nIMPORTANT DETAILS \nWe’ll meet at the main gate\, where Kingsessing dead-ends at 62nd Street.***If you’re using Google Maps type in 6191 Kingsessing Avenue*** \nThis tour requires significant walking\, so practical shoes and water are a must. There are plenty of ticks\, especially as the weather warms\, so we recommend long pants\, socks\, and most of all a careful check of oneself after the tour is over. \nTour guide John Vidumsky has been exploring abandoned spaces for as long as he can remember. He has an MA in history from Temple University\, where he studied 20th-century Russian history. John was Hidden City’s first intern! \nHidden City Members\, remember to use your promo codes for discounts! \nQuestions\, concerns\, conundrums?

SUMMARY:A Family Day inspired by Unhoused and Unseen: Our "Invisible" Neighbors
DESCRIPTION:“Unhoused and Unseen” inspired Crafting Open House for all! Come craft and converse with us .\n\n\nWhat will we be doing? \nDVAA invites families to join us for an inspirational afternoon of crafting and casual conversation about those who are experiencing housing challenges. The open house is on Sunday October 13th from 12-2pm at Da Vinci Art Alliance located at 704 Catherine Street.  \nActivities for children and adults include drawing exercises and making origami hearts. Families are encouraged to bring new hats or gloves to donate to Broad Street Love\, an organization focused on helping those experiencing deep poverty in Philadelphia. \nWe’re holding a Donation Drive! \nAs the colder months approach\, hats and gloves are essential items for those experiencing scarcity. Da Vinci Art Alliance will have a new hat and glove donation drive in conjunction with the October exhibition titled\, Unhoused and Unseen: Our “Invisitble” Neighbors. Donations can be dropped off at Da Vinci from October 3-20th in the Gallery 2 donation box. The items will be given to Broad Street Love\, an organization focused on helping those experiencing deep poverty in Philadelphia. \nThis event is a part of 2024 Kathryn Pannepacker Fellow Exhibition “Unhoused & Unseen: Our “Invisible” Neighbors” by Lisa Hendrickson i n partnership with Broad Street Love (BSL). A community space for those experiencing deep poverty\, Lisa Hendrickson created a series of mixed media paintings that capture the humanity of an often overlooked population; those who are unhoused. Through thoughtful portraits and interviews with guests that BSL serves\, Hendrickson invites viewers to examine their compassion and connection to those experiencing scarcity. Unhoused & Unseen: Our “Invisible Neighbors” challenges the greater Philadelphia community to advocate for critical support in areas such as affordable housing\, successful reintegration of formerly incarcerated individuals\, substance abuse counseling\, mental health support\, and immigration assistance. \nLearn more at: davinciartalliance.org \n \nThis event and free and open to all.

Vibrational healing is the ancient art of healing with sound; it traces back to ancient Egypt & Tibet. Sound vibrations can heal the physical body at a cellular level by adjusting blockages and imbalances. These imbalances can cause the body to have a slower frequency vibration which may lead to dis-ease or illnesses. Natural healing sound frequencies can be transferred or introduced externally or directly into the body to create a more harmonious state. \nAt Black Lotus\, we combine the use of crystal chakra singing bowls\, gongs\, tuning forks\, and more to give a relaxing & transformative experience. We can balance chakras\, repair auras\, uplift the mood or help with grounding. Vibrational healing is a great tool for meditation\, alleviating stress\, and relaxing stiff or sore muscles. \nFor more visit: www.diasporaeducationalservices.org/black-lotus \nhttps://linktr.ee/blacklotushhc \n\n\n\nDIRECTIONS: \n \nBlack Lotus is not on Lincoln Drive despite the address…it is actually on Rittenhousetown Lane.
