SUMMARY:Lemon Creek Walking Tour
DESCRIPTION:Lemon Creek is one of the longest aboveground creeks in New York City\, and its route cuts deeply into the history of Staten Island. Once famous for its oysters and oystermen\, it was a favorite haunt of author Joseph Mitchell in the 1950s\, and is now a Staten Island Bluebelt\, harboring eagles\, peacocks\, and deer. Join writer and photographer Nathan Kensinger on a walk tracing out the lower portions of this fascinating waterway\, as it flows through historic neighborhoods and protected parklands\, and out to Prince’s Bay. \nSturdy\, closed-toed shoes are recommended for this walk\, which will involve following footpaths over streams and through wooded environments. We will start at Amboy Road and Penton Street and end the walk at Bayview Ave. and Johnston Terrace. \nThis walking tour is sponsored by Council Member Joseph Borelli. \nRain date: June 23rd.

SUMMARY:Landmark Bushwick Breuckelen Beer Tour
DESCRIPTION:Back once again by popular demand! \nJoin beer aficionado Chris Heuberger on a guided walking tour of Brewers Row dating from when Bushwick\, Brooklyn was the brewing center of America.

Come walk that history and see the 19th-century historic brewery buildings built when Bushwick was a lively hub for the beer culture of German-speaking immigrants. And of course\, we’ll end at one of the area’s newest breweries\, Interboro\, to enjoy a pint and celebrate the triumphant return of brewing to Brooklyn. \nLight rain\, we walk. Heavy rain postpones until Sunday June 3rd\, 2018.

SUMMARY:The Sociology of Horseshoe Crabs and the Humans Who Use Them
DESCRIPTION:Dr. Lisa Jean Moore of SUNY Purchase\, author of Catch & Release\, explores the interspecies relationships between humans and horseshoe crabs – our multiple sites of entanglement and enmeshment. Humans have literally harvested the life out of horseshoe crabs for multiple purposes; we interpret them for understanding geologic time; we bleed them for biomedical applications; we eat them as delicacies; we rescue them for conservation; we capture them as bait; and we categorize them as endangered after having once collected them for agricultural fertilizer. On the other hand\, the crabs make humans matter by revealing our species vulnerability to endotoxins\, offering career opportunities\, profiting off of crab bodies\, and fertilizing the soil of agricultural harvest for human food. \nDr. Moore’s lecture will be introduced by Dr. Elizabeth Albert of St. John’s University and author of Silent Beaches: Untold Stories of New York City’s Forgotten Waterfront; and by Matt Malina\, Founder and Director of NYC H2O\, our frequent collaborator for events and lectures. \nThis lecture is free and open to the public\, but we ask that you RSVP at the Eventbrite page for the lecture.

SUMMARY:New York City's Streams: A retrospective from the Welikia Project
DESCRIPTION:Dr. Eric W. Sanderson of the Wildlife Conservation Society’s Welikia Project and author of Mannahatta: A Natural History of New York City\, looks back at the more than 700 miles of streams that once coursed through the 5 boroughs. As beautiful as New York can be at times\, the big buildings are nothing compared to the humble artistry of a free-flowing stream running down to the sea. \n \nAfter seven years of effort\, he will share for the first time the digital elevation model of the pre-development topography his team has built\, discuss why the climate and geology of the city together make our landscape conducive to streams and springs\, give a borough by borough tour of ancient watersheds\, and suggest how we can bring living water back to the stony city again.\n \nArtist\, Eve Mosher\, will introduce Dr. Anderson. Ms. Mosher’s “High Water Line” installations engage the public in cities worldwide to envision how climate change will directly affect them as sea level rises.\n \nThis event is being co-sponsored by NYC H2O and CUNY Institute of Sustainability at Hunter College.\n \nDoors open at 6:30. Please RSVP at link\n

SUMMARY:Gowanus: The Past and Future of Brooklyn's Curious Canal
DESCRIPTION:Lying at the epicenter of one of Brooklyn’s most rapidly gentrifying (and expensive) neighborhoods is a toxic waste site and open sewer: That’s right\, it’s the Gowanus Canal. \nThis waterway is mostly famous for its stench and as a repository for dead bodies\, but did you know that the Gowanus’s story begins before Brooklyn was its own city\, or colonization itself? \nWhile raw sewage still flows into it today (thank the limited foresight of 19th-century urban planning!)\, did you know that Gowanus hosted beds of delicious and locally-sourced foot-long oysters? Or even though toxic coal tar now lines its floor\, much of the building materials that made brownstone Brooklyn passed through its waters? \nThis class is for anyone who’s read about the Gowanus but wants to know more about how it got there\, how it got so polluted\, and what is next for this post-industrial neighborhood poised at the brink of yet another evolution.

SUMMARY:The Great Subway Race of 1967
DESCRIPTION:THE GREAT SUBWAY RACE OF 1967 \nSee a 5-minute preview video here: https://vimeo.com/212423979 \nFifty years ago this month an M.I.T. computer whiz kid named Peter Samson and a group of his schoolmates attempted one of the most audacious stunts in the history of the New York City subway system – but almost no one knows about it. \nUntil now. \nOn Friday\, April 21\, Michael Miscione\, the Manhattan Borough Historian\, will interview Peter and one of his schoolmates\, George Mitchell\, as they recount the Great Subway Race of 1967. \nThat year Peter used M.I.T.’s most advanced computer — a mainframe about the size of a passenger elevator — to calculate the most efficient route to ride the entire subway system in the least amount of time. In their wild attempt to break the existing riding record the team employed payphones\, runners\, and a teletype hook-up between a makeshift “data center” in midtown Manhattan and the mainframe in Cambridge\, Mass. \nCome to the event and find out how it all played out.

SUMMARY:Joanne Witty in conversation with William Solecki – Brooklyn Bridge Park: A Dying Waterfront Transformed
DESCRIPTION:Please join us at Roosevelt House for a special evening exploring the creation of Brooklyn Bridge Park\, one of the largest and most significant public projects to be built in New York in a generation. Joanne Witty\, an environmental activist who also served as president of the park’s local development corporation and as director of the Brooklyn Bridge Park Development Corporation\, and William Solecki\, Professor of Geography\, Hunter College\, and Director of CUNY Institute for Sustainable Cities\, will discuss the ways in which the park has transformed a decrepit industrial waterfront into a public space that is both a reflection and an engine of Brooklyn’s resurgence in the twenty-first century. \nIn their talk\, Ms. Witty and Professor Solecki will examine the social and political phenomenon of how a community overcame overwhelming opposition and obstacles to build the park – and also the ways in which the solutions developed during the prolonged battle can be applied to important economic and planning issues around the world. They will discuss how grassroots movement and community planning united around a common vision\, and reveal the human dynamics that unfolded in the course of building the park\, including attitudes and opinions that arose about class\, race\, gentrification\, commercialization\, development\, and the role of government. \nWe hope you will be able to attend this important conversation

SUMMARY:Black Jacks: African American Sailors in the 19th Century at Brooklyn Borough Hall
DESCRIPTION:The critical historic role played by black mariners in the Port of New York and Brooklyn although poorly understood is deeply relevant today. Over 25% of New York’s pre-Civil War maritime workers were black. Their story deserves to be told\, especially in the port cities like New York\, where their work was vital. These sailors helped to smuggle slaves to freedom and often served as a conduit for news and information. Their skills were critical to the social\, educational and communications networks and mobility of black seaboard communities. \nBlack seafaring in the age of sail was not limited to the Middle Passage. Tens of thousands of Black seamen connected the far-flung members of the African Diaspora through their work on lofty clippers and modest coasters. Others sailed in fishing vessels\, whalers\, warships\, and privateers. Some were enslaved\, but by 1800 most were free men\, seeking liberty and economic opportunity aboard ship. \nDrawing on rich historical sources\, and long-forgotten images\, Dr. Bolster (also a professional mariner) traces the story to the period after the Civil War. Blacks actively contributed to the Atlantic maritime culture shared by all seamen in the age of sail\, but were often outsiders within it. Capturing that tension\, this stirring presentation examines how common experiences drew black and white sailors together\, even as deeply internalized prejudices drove them apart.

SUMMARY:Environmental Justice: What's Race Got to Do With It?
DESCRIPTION:The Columbia Journal of Race and Law (“CJRL”) was founded in 2010 with the purpose of deepening the legal community’s discourse on historic and contemporary notions of socio-political and legal challenges facing racial and ethnic minorities. Each year\, we host a symposium to bring together experts to shed greater light on legal issues that impact communities of color. Past symposia have covered topics related to immigration\, the legacy of the Civil Rights Act\, and cutting-edge thinking about fair housing barriers to the creation of affordable housing. \nThe Columbia Journal of Environmental Law (“CJEL”) was founded in 1972 with a grant from the Ford Foundation. The Journal is one of the oldest environmental law journals in the nation and is widely regarded as one of the preeminent environmental journals in the country. \nThis year\, CJRL and our colleagues in CJEL are collaborating to present a symposium on environmental justice. The symposium\, which will be held on Wednesday\, October 19\, 2016 at 6:30PM at 435 West 116th Street\, New York\, New York 10027 (Columbia Law School) in room 103. The symposium is titled “Environmental Justice: What’s Race Got to Do With It?”. \nKendall Thomas\, Nash Professor of Law\, Columbia Law School and Director\, Center for the Study of Law and Culture\, will give opening remarks. \nThe first panel of the symposium\, “Planting the Roots of (In)Justice: Past Practices and Laws\,” will focus on an array of past policies including the use of lead paint in public housing buildings\, placement of landfills and certain industries near communities of color\, and lack of access to recycling in certain neighborhoods. This panel will be moderated by Michael Gerrard\, Andrew Sabin Professor of Professional Practice\, Columbia Law School; Director\, Sabin Center for Climate Change Law. \n\nThe panelists are:\n\nChristine Appah-Gyamfi — Senior Staff Attorney\, New York Lawyers for the Public Interest;\nSusan Kraham — Senior Staff Attorney and Lecturer-in-Law\, Columbia Law School;\nPeggy Shepard — Executive Director and Co-Founder\, WE ACT for Environmental Justice; and\nKellie Terry — Program Officer for Sustainable Environments\, Surdna Foundation.\n\n\n\n“Wade in the Water: From Flint to NYCHA\,” the second panel of the symposium\, will focus on the current water crisis occurring in communities of color across the United States\, including a discussion around the lead-filled water in the City of Flint and how the Dakota Pipeline may affect clean water access for American Indians. This panel will be moderated by Olatunde Johnson\, Jerome B. Sherman Professor of Law and Vice Dean for Intellectual Life\, Columbia Law School. \n\nThe panelists are:\n\nChristine Ernst — Associate Attorney\, Earthjustice;\nEdward Lloyd — Evan M. Frankel Clinical Professor in Environmental Law\, Columbia Law School;\nAl Huang — Director of Environmental Justice\, Natural Resources Defense Council; and\nSteven McSloy — Partner\, Carter Ledyard & Milburn LLP; Lecturer-in-Law\, Columbia Law School\n\n\n\nCJRL and CJEL hopes that this year’s symposium will spark discourse on a range of issues related to water accessibility and the disproportionate siting of environmental hazards in communities of color across the nation. \nPlease register here.

SUMMARY:Ensuring Urban Resilience\, Come Hell Or High Water
DESCRIPTION:New York City must become a climate-resilient city\, whether or not nations meet the Paris COP 21 goal of keeping global temperature increases well below 2 degrees C.\, and now there is rising scientific sentiment for a 1.5 degree cap if the world is to avoid irreversible and destabilizing damage. The capacity of cities to deal with uncertainty is paramount and demands high-performing urban resilience measures. As such\, creating an enduringly resilient city means innovations etched in steel\, bricks and mortar as well as through ‘softscape’ innovations now emerging. \nUrban resilience also means changes in land use along with better and more equitable ways to protect a city’s people. Realizing these innovations requires that New York and other great cities must give high priority to advancing the emerging capacities to foster and make the most of new approaches to climate risk management. \nWelcome\nNancy Anderson\, The Sallan Foundation \nKeynote Speakers\nHon. Dawn Zimmer\, Mayor\, Hoboken New Jersey \nChris Ward\, AECOM; former Executive Director\, Port Authority of NY and NJ; former Commissioner\, NYC Department of Environmental Protection \nModerator\nMichael Gerrard\, Professor and Director\, Sabin Center for Climate Change Law\, Columbia Law School \nPanelists \nJoyce Rosenthal\, The Earth Institute\, Columbia University\nKate Orff\, Columbia Graduate School of Architecture\, Planning & Preservation\nNico Kienzl\, Atelier Ten\nJuan Camilo Osorio\, NY Environmental Justice Alliance\nMegan Linkin\, SwissRe

SUMMARY:Bronx River Bike Tour
DESCRIPTION:Did you know that the Bronx River is NYC’s only true fresh water river?  It was considered as a source for NYC’s drinking water in the 1830’s but was labelled “an open sewer” by the end of that century.  The river has made a comeback since the days of reckless dumping and now supports many forms of aquatic life like Alewife Herring and even a beaver named “Jose.” \nThe ride is 17 miles long and will take 3 hours. 7 miles of the tour will be on the Bronx River Parkway which is open to bikes for Bicycle Sundays. \nThe tour starts at the Williamsbridge Oval and finishes at the Kensico Dam in Valhalla.  The ride is 17 miles long and will take 3 hours (12 mph pace). 7 miles of the ride will be on the Bronx River Parkway as it is opened to bikes for Bicycle Sundays. \nMetro North train service is available from Valhalla for the return trip. \nRain date: None\, Sunday Sept 25 \nPlease RSVP here.

SUMMARY:Our Capitalogenic World: Humanity\, Nature\, and the Making of a Planetary Crisis
DESCRIPTION:On the occasion of Less Light Warm Words\, please join us as Jason W. Moore talks about the making of planetary crisis. While the language of “anthropogenic” change is now common in discussions of global warming\, mass extinction\, and other biospheric shifts\, it may be more plausible to speak of “capitalogenic” change — made not by all humans\, but by capitalism. Charting the development of capitalism as a “world-ecology\,”  understood as a system of power\, capital\, and nature\,  Moore shows how the planetary crisis today cannot be adequately understood as a conflict of “humans” and “nature.” Rather\, the making of planetary crisis is rooted in capitalism’s peculiar way of organizing nature\, one committed to “putting nature to work” for free or low cost. The long era of Cheap Nature\, inaugurated in 1492\, is now coming to an end. Thinking and acting in radically emancipatory ways in the decades ahead will require new ways of thinking life\, power\, and justice. \nPlease RSVP to rsvp@swissinstitute.net \nJason W. Moore is a historical geographer and world historian at Binghamton University\, where he is Associate Professor of Sociology and Research Fellow at the Fernand Braudel Center. He is author of Capitalism in the Web of Life (Verso\, 2015)\, Transformations of the Earth: Nature in the Making and Unmaking of the Modern World (in Chinese\, Commercial\, 2015); Ecologia-mondo e crisi del capitalismo: La fine della natura a buon mercato (Ombre Corte\, 2015); and editor of Anthropocene or Capitalocene? Nature\, History\, and the Crisis of Capitalism (PM Press\, 2016). He writes frequently on the history of capitalism\, environmental history\, and social theory. Moore is presently completing Ecology and the Rise of Capitalism\, an environmental history of the rise of capitalism\, and with Raj Patel\, Seven Cheap Things: A World-Ecological Manifesto – both with the University of California Press. He is coordinator of the World-Ecology Research Network.
