This fall at the Sheila Johnson Design Center’s Kellen Gallery, the editors of the new book Climate Change and Cities (Cambridge University Press) gathered to discuss their findings, part of the first ongoing state-of-the-knowledge assessment report on climate change and cities.  The panel included Cynthia Rosenzweig, William D. Solecki, Stephen A. Hammer, and Shagun Mehrotra.

The report includes the contributions of 106 scholars from 50 cities around the world who are members of the Urban Climate Change Research Network, a coalition of international researchers formed at the time of the C40 Large Cities Climate Summit in New York in 2007.

This talk presented in partnership with the Tishman Environment and Design Center, was moderated by John Clinton, director of Environmental Policy and Sustainability Management at The New School. Opening remarks were presented by Joel Towers, executive dean of Parsons The New School for Design.

This program is presented in conjunction with the exhibition U-n-f-o-l-d: A Cultural Response to Climate Change. For more information, visit http://www.newschool.edu/parsons/sjdc

Lilly Ledbetter “struck a nerve” when she sued Goodyear Tire & Rubber Co. in a landmark case that would reach the U.S. Supreme Court.  For decades, Ledbetter made less money than her male counterparts, even though she performed the same exact duties. Instead of remaining silent, Ledbetter sued the mega company, and while she did not receive the back pay she deserved, she publicly took a stand for equal rights.  Ever since the signing of the Ledbetter Fair Pay Act of 2009 by President Barack Obama, Ledbetter has become a champion for equal rights for men and women in the workforce.

PGRF is the twilight zone of translation between medium and the mode. Here are the ways human language technology has evolved to reflect the mind-body problem, as seen through the architecture of the Crystal Palace of the Inter-Net.

Volume 1 interviews Charlie Morrow, and features the work of Cache and Corey Bauer. Charlie creates large scale sound oriented events and happenings for the public. He also produces sound objects and installations that invite listeners to consider the relationship between sound and the physical world.  Cache’s work , ‘Glowing Moon,’ was written and recorded for and from one night upon a rooftop in the Boston darkness. Crisp and fleeting, steeping and steaming, it documents a direct relationship with their environment. With nothing but the moon in sight, sonic visuals came alive in the night. Corey Bauer’s work is entitled ‘LED Video Glitch 1.’ Corey had this say about his work.
