Decarbonization, or efforts to remake a built environment with lower carbon emissions, can have profoundly unequal effects. To understand these effects, and, conversely, to understand the possibilities of just and equitable decarbonization, we need to investigate both the distributional outcomes of decarbonization policies and the processes by which decarbonization is planned and implemented. This talk considers the “equity turn” in environmental and climate planning: the increasing recognition by policy-makers that climate policies can impact people unevenly and disproportionately. In this talk, I ask how cities arrive at equity aspirations and how municipal climate governance constructs ideas about equity, focusing specifically on the climate intervention of residential electrification in the cities of Oakland and San Jose, California. The talk concludes with a discussion of future research directions for just decarbonization.
This online seminar aims to increase the faculty’s understanding of the relationship between their role and decolonization at the institution and to acquire more knowledge of decolonial practices, tools, and resources available at Concordia.

This talk will be an introduction to the field of Borel equivalence relations (also called invariant descriptive set theory). No background will be assumed. We will motivate the main object of study: a Borel reduction between equivalence relations on Polish spaces.

Classrooms reflect the world in which we live and represent the diversity within. By implementing inclusive teaching practices, instructors can create learning environments in which all students feel like they belong, can learn at high levels, and reach their true potential. To support instructors in creating inclusive learning environments, this presentation will introduce several inclusive teaching practices that can be immediately used to benefit all students.
Negative feedback may be hard to hear. Positive feedback leaves little room to grow. What is the delicate balance to provide effective feedback for improvement while being sensitive to the listener and how they receive the information?
