Fall 2010 Lecture Series
Give Me Shelter: Second Skin for Extreme Environments?
Climate Changes in Science Fashion
As future technologies of the modern augmented self and its
geopolitical extensions, proactive clothing was first anticipated at
the turn of the century in popular culture, science fiction and art.
Since the 1960s, this question has become a fixed part of the cyborg
discourse while “science fashions” were shifting from astronautics and
military research to wearable computing and smart clothes. The
political climate also changed since the Cold War. Artists, architects
and fashion designers started to create climate capsules, green
wearables and interactive research and communication tools for climate
activists. Gaugele will reflect upon these climate changes in “science
fashion” and discusses different points of departure for its
contemporary artistic research.

and Styles at the Academy of Fine Arts in Vienna, Austria.

The Just City
Speaker: Susan Fainstein, Professor, Urban Planning & Design, Harvard
University
Time: 3:00p–5:00p
Location: 32-124
Urban Studies and Planning Departmental Speaker Series
Weekly Lecture Series of the Department of Urban Studies and Planning.
For much of the twentieth century improvement in the situation of
disadvantaged communities was a focus for urban planning and policy.
Yet over the past three decades the ideological triumph of
neoliberalism has caused the allocation of spatial, political,
economic, and financial resources to favor economic growth at the
expense of wider social benefits. Susan Fainstein's concept of the
"just city" encourages planners and policymakers to embrace a
different approach to urban development. Her objective is to combine
progressive city planners' earlier focus on equity and material well-
being with considerations of diversity and participation so as to
foster a better quality of urban life within the context of a global
capitalist political economy. Fainstein applies theoretical concepts
about justice developed by contemporary philosophers to the concrete
problems faced by urban planners and policymakers and argues that,
despite structural obstacles, meaningful reform can be achieved at the
local level.

Sustainable Energy and National Security: The U.S. Navy Perspective
Speaker: Rear Admiral Philip Hart Cullom
Time: 12:00p–1:00p
Location: E62-276
Sustainability @ Sloan Speaker Series
Energy security is a critical component of national security. Trends
in energy markets, warfare, and global climate have put the United
States and our global partners at a critical crossroads for action.
How the Navy and the nation at large manage limited resources will
impact economic growth and international relations over the next
century. Identifying and understanding global energy trends has led
the Navy to institute a cultural change to increasing energy
efficiency, improve technology, and expand its use of alternative
fuels and renewable energy. This discussion on global trends impacting
energy policy will highlight the impact on the Navy and national
energy security, as well as tie these factors to Navy investments
which will enhance combat capability, reduce costs, and improve energy
security. Recent efforts include the commissioning of the first Navy
ship with a hybrid electric drive; the supersonic flight of an F/A-18
Super Hornet on a biofuel blend; and partnerships across industry,
academia, and federal agencies to advance energy initiatives.
Addressing key challenges will require innovations in technology,
policy, and business models as the Navy and the nation take action.

Many Bills (http://manybills.researchlabs.ibm.com)
Government transparency is a critical issue in today's environment.
The recent controversy in the US over health care reform is just one
example of how hard it can be to see the realities behind the
rhetoric. As researchers, we believe we can help by giving people the
right tools to understand, explore, and communicate about government
data. Many Bills is a web-based visualization that enables members of
the public to see the high-level topic structure of US Congressional
Bills, then drill down and read the actual content. The dataset
currently includes all bills considered by both houses in 2009, plus
some select content from 2010, courtesy of GovTrack.

7pm panel
6 pm reception
When a crisis occurs, local, state, regional, national and sometimes
international organizations (on both the public and the private side)
spring into action to coordinate efforts. In many regards, social
media makes this easier and easier to manage. But concerns exist: for
example, how do you manage the spread of misinformation?
A panel of practitioners will talk through what happens -- and what
should happen -- when a crisis strikes. Our moderator will be Ellen
Rossano, principal of Crisis Media Consultants.
Stay tuned for program details. Food and drink will be provided at the
reception.
THIS FREE EVENT IS HOSTED AND SPONSORED BY THE BOSTON BAR ASSOCIATION.

"Renewable Energy's Future in New England"
Raab Associates presents: The 118th New England Restructuring
Roundtable
Foley Hoag LLP
155 Seaport Boulevard, 13th Floor
Boston, MA 02210
September: Renewable Energy's Future in New England
Our first Fall Roundtable of 2010 focuses on renewable energy's future
in New England. Renewable energy installations of all types (wind,
biomass, solar, landfill gas) have been proliferating in New England,
while Renewable Portfolio Standards continue to ratchet-up. At the
same time, recent developments have introduced significant uncertainty
into the renewable energy markets in New England. These include the
failure to enact federal legislation to price carbon, the uncertain
status of future federal renewable tax credits, the TransCanada law
suit, the EIPC transmission and renewable planning process, and the
biomass study for MA DOER by Manomet.
Our two panels at the September Roundtable will examine the net effect
of these and other factors impacting renewable energy development in
New England. The first will be a high level, cross-cutting panel whose
speakers will share their expectations about the future of renewables
in New England. This panel is comprised of:
Commissioner Phil Giudice, MA Department of Energy Resources
Bob Grace, President, Sustainable Energy Advantage
Ellen Angley, VP Energy Supply/Supply Chain Management, NSTAR
Michael Hachey, VP/Director, Eastern Commercial, TransCanada
Alan Nogee, Dir. of Climate & Energy Strategy & Policy, UCS
A second panel will dive into the complex world of biomass carbon
accounting and sustainable biomass issues. Tom Walker, the lead
author of the Manomet biomass study for MA DOER, will start us off.
Marco Albani, Expert Associate Principal at McKinsey & Co., will
discuss the recent study led by a consortium of major European
industry and environmental organizations. The European biomass study
employs a different methodology than the Manomet study, and reaches
different conclusions. Coincidentally, both studies were released on
the same day in the U.S. and Europe, respectively. (You can access
both studies through the Roundablewebsite.) We will round this panel
off with two leading academics, Professors William Moomaw of Tufts
University andCameron Wake of the University of New Hampshire, who
will offer their reflections on both studies and discuss the
complexities of biomass and carbon accounting.

PLENITUDE: The Path to a Small Scale, Ecologically Light Economy
Presented by Author and Economist Juliet B. Schor
TUESDAY SEPTEMBER 21 at 7pm
Livable Streets Office
100 Sidney Street, Cambridge
At a moment of ecological and financial crisis, bestselling author and
economist Juliet B. Schor presents a revolutionary strategy for
transitioning toward a richer, more balanced life. The economic
downturn that has accompanied the ecological crisis has led to another
type of scarcity: incomes, jobs, and credit are also in short supply.
Our usual way back to growth-a debt-financed consumer boom- is no
longer an option our households, or planet, can afford.
Plenitude is a road map for the next two decades. In encouraging us to
value our gifts - nature, community, intelligence, and time - Schor
offers the opportunity to participate in creating a world of wealth
and well-being.
Juliet B. Schor is the author of Plenitude, Born to Buy, The
Overworked American, and The Overspent American. Schor is a professor
of sociology at Boston College, a former member of the Harvard
economics department, and a Guggenheim Fellowship recipient. She is
also a cofounder of the Center for a New American Dream.

The Cambridge Arts Council invites you to visit and participate in the
Park Spark Project - a scientific-art intervention that transforms dog
waste into energy. Artist Matthew Mazzotta has installed the first Dog
Park Methane Digester in the United States at Pacific Street Park in
Cambridge. As dog owners dispose of their pet's waste in the Park
Spark Digester, it creates a steady stream of burnable methane gas
that powers an old-fashioned gas-burning lamppost in the park.
