ES&P Lunchbag: Statistical modeling for forest ecology
September 30, 2020
with Albert Kim, Assistant Professor in Statistical and Data Sciences. Many people associate “statistics” only with dense mathematical formulas and numbers. While superficially this is the case, at a much deeper level statistics is about creating models of real-world phenomena. In particular, these data-driven models must navigate uncertainty. In this data visualization driven talk, Kim will address three questions relating to the growth of trees (1) “How can we model growth?” (2) “How can we model the effect of interspecies competition on growth?” and (3) “How does climate change affect annual growth?” The talk will center on forestry data from the ForestGEO network’s Smithsonian Conservation Biology Institute in Front Royal, VA, USA.

Farm to College in New England: Past, Present, and Post-Pandemic
October 1, 2020
"Farm to institution" represents an important lever for change in the effort to build resilient and sustainable regional food systems. Institutions, including colleges and universities, make important daily choices about food including: what food to buy, where to buy it from, if they should grow it, how much to pay for it, how much to charge for it, and how to serve it. These choices provide opportunities to promote sustainable growing practices, provide transparency in the food system, support regional economies, and increase food access & food justice. These connections have become ever more relevant due to Covid-19’s food system disruptions. What roles can (or should) institutions play in support of the regional food movement at the intersections of sustainability, resiliency, student food access, and food justice?

Grandma Taught Me Best / Centering our voices and ancestors in the environmental movement
October 8, 2020
Have you ever opened your freezer to a big tub of ice cream, only to open it and find dinner leftovers from a week before? Fish heads, jollof rice, curries - sound familiar? BIPOC families have always practiced “sustainability”, yet are left out of the mainstream narratives of what it means to be an “environmentalist” and live “sustainably”. While big green organizations (the Sierra Club, National Park Service, Audubon Society, etc.)—led and made up of predominantly White employees and members—have been trying to take action to redress their racist and colonialist origins, how can we, as BIPOC, hold space to claim, center, and celebrate our familial practices? In this conversation, we will come together to discuss how the environmental movement has centered the western world and Whiteness, how we can identify and center our voices in the movement, and how we can connect to BIPOC-led environmental justice efforts—at Smith, in our communities, and beyond. This discussion has been designed for BIPOC students.

Using an intersectional framework Black Women Build-Baltimore offers its holistic training program to capable women who are ready for change, and would not otherwise have the opportunity.
