SUMMARY:After Wildfire: Migration and Neighborhood Change Post Disaster
DESCRIPTION:Join us for an engaging talk by Kathryn McConnell on how communities transform in the aftermath of wildfire events. Professor McConnell will share insights from her work on how communities adapt and transform in the aftermath of wildfire events\, offering valuable perspectives on resilience\, displacement\, and urban change. Her findings have relevance and implications to inform more equitable rebuilding in Los Angeles. \nThis event is a unique opportunity to learn from one of the leading voices in environmental sociology and disaster studies. Whether you’re interested in climate adaptation\, urban planning\, or social dynamics\, this talk will provide thought-provoking analysis and foster meaningful discussion. \nRegister\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout Kathryn: \nKathryn McConnell is an Assistant Professor of Sociology at the University of British Columbia. Her research examines the intersection of environmental hazards\, the built environment\, and population mobility\, with a focus on understanding the long-term impacts of highly destructive wildfires. Kathryn previously worked as a Postdoctoral Research Associate at Brown University’s Population Studies and Training Center. She holds a PhD and an MESc from Yale School of the Environment.

SUMMARY:Luskin Sacramento Briefing
DESCRIPTION:The UCLA Luskin School of Public Affairs takes pride in helping to improve society through undergraduate and graduate education in the fields of public policy\, social welfare and urban planning. We hope that our research can also light the way toward policy action that produces real solutions for California. \nTo further this effort\, the School will present its second annual UCLA Luskin Briefing at UC Student and Policy Center in Sacramento the morning of Tuesday\, Feb. 25\, 2025. \nThe gathering will feature two panel discussions coordinated by esteemed UCLA Luskin faculty members and their affiliated research centers in collaboration with elected officials\, government agencies and other policy experts: \nRegister Here\nHow Can California Maximize Investment Benefits for Heat-Resilient Communities?\nPresented by the UCLA Luskin Center for Innovation \nCalifornia is making significant investments and targeted interventions to build resilience to extreme heat\, particularly for its most vulnerable communities. In support\, the UCLA Luskin Center for Innovation conducts research to inform state policies and investments that address extreme heat. LCI researchers and other expert panelists will shed light on why state legislators should care about extreme heat mitigation and management\, what the state is doing\, and how upcoming investments and additional policies could benefit Californians in direst need of intervention in settings such as schools\, homes and public spaces. \nPanelists \n\nModerator: Alissa Ko\, Health Net\nFaculty Presenter: V. Kelly Turner\, UCLA Luskin\nLegislator: State Sen. Caroline Menjivar\nAgency Representative: Braden Kay\, Governor’s Office of Planning and Research\nCommunity Representative: Christian Rodriguez Ceja\, Kounkuey Design Initiative\n\nCan California Reduce Vehicle Miles Traveled? Should It?\nPresented by the UCLA Institute of Transportation Studies \nCalifornia has declared that it wants to reduce the total number of vehicle miles traveled (VMT) across the state. In this session\, presenters will discuss strategies and best practices for achieving this complex goal. VMT is accompanied by undeniable costs but also by real benefits — and the benefits may be largest\, paradoxically\, in places where driving is most common. Thus\, the broader goal of making VMT less necessary involves both reducing the amount of space given over to automobiles while also recognizing that\, for the immediate future\, some increases in driving will be socially desirable. \nPanelists \n\nModerator: Catharine Baker\, UC Student and Policy Center\nFaculty Presenters: Adam Millard-Ball and Michael Manville\, UCLA Luskin\nLegislator: State Sen. Catherine Blakespear\nAgency Representative: Chanell Fletcher\, California Air Resources Board\n\n
