The second part of my talk will discuss the translational side of my research program\, in which we study the habitat needs and conservation status of wild bee species\, and work with government agencies and conservation organizations to conserve and restore pollinators. \nMore information here.  URL:https://rcei.rutgers.edu/event/biodiversity-ecosystem-services-and-the-conservation-of-wild-bees/ LOCATION:ENR-223\, 14 College Farm Rd\, New Brunswick\, NJ\, 08901\, United States END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20240316T090000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20240316T150000 DTSTAMP:20260501T084907 CREATED:20240304T232857Z LAST-MODIFIED:20240304T233103Z UID:1933-1710579600-1710601200@rcei.rutgers.edu SUMMARY:Navigating Our Watershed in a Changing Climate – A Teacher Workshop on Watershed Awareness DESCRIPTION:Abstract: Join us for an interactive teacher workshop\, Navigating Our Watershed in a Changing Climate\, designed to empower educators with the knowledge and tools to integrate watershed education into their classrooms.

This talk takes us to the southern border of Lebanon where resistant ecologies thrive amid perennial gusts of war. In frontline villages\, armed invasions\, indiscriminate bombings\, and scattered landmines have become the conditions within which everyday life is waged. Here\, multi-species partnerships such as tobacco-farming and goat-herding carry life through seasons of destruction. Neither green-tinged utopia nor total devastation\, these survival collectives make life possible within an insistently deadly region. Sourcing an anthropology of war from where it is lived decolonizes distant theories of war and brings to light creative practices forged in the midst of ongoing devastation. Like other unlivable worlds of the Anthropocene\, war is a place where life must go on.  \nMore information here.  URL:https://rcei.rutgers.edu/event/resistant-ecologies-in-a-landscape-of-war-lessons-from-south-lebanon/ LOCATION:TIL–264\, 50 Joyce Kilmer Ave\, Piscataway\, NJ\, 08854\, United States END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20240323T100000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20240323T153000 DTSTAMP:20260501T084907 CREATED:20240319T183008Z LAST-MODIFIED:20240319T183008Z UID:2029-1711188000-1711207800@rcei.rutgers.edu SUMMARY:HackRU – Best University Sustainability Hack DESCRIPTION:The Office of Climate Action is sponsoring the “Best University Sustainability Hack” at HackRU 2024!
