Community Events
Environmental Health Sciences Community Events
In the 2024-25 academic year, the College of Health and Human Development environmental health sciences program area will be supporting two events.
Fall 2024
On Wednesday, October 9, 2024 from 12 noon–1 p.m. in 110 Henderson Building, in partnership with Penn State's Population Research Institute, the environmental health sciences program area co-sponsored an invited talk by Sera Young, professor of anthropology and Morton O. Schapiro Faculty Fellow at Northwestern University.
Young presented “Water Insecurity Experiences: Bridging climate and health for better research and policy.”
Spring 2025
On January 30 and 31, 2025, the environmental health sciences program area will be hosting a 1.5 day climate/environment and health workshop. Further specific details about this event will be announced.
The Population Research Institute has an NIH supplement to develop a new research area in climate change and health led by Brian Thiede, associate professor of rural sociology, sociology, and demography. As one of the activities under that initiative—and in partnership with the College of Health and Human Development environmental health sciences program area, led by Asher Rosinger—will be a climate/environment and health workshop that will bring in 4-5 external experts to variously talk about the state of the field, data/methods, and policy issues, and then provide time for engagement (with a primary goal of stimulating collaborations among our faculty and potentially with some of the external experts). Speakers include:
- Kristie Ebi, professor global health and professor of environmental and occupational health sciences, University of Washington
- Kathryn Grace, professor of geography, environment, and society, University of Minnesota
- Mathew Hauer, associate professor of sociology and associate director of the Center for Demography and Population Health, Florida State University
- Gregory Pierce, faculty member in the Department of Urban Planning and Co-Director, Luskin Center for Innovation, Water and Transportation Initiatives and director, Water Resources Group, University of California, Los Angeles
The first day will largely be comprised of those 4-5 talks (plus times for Q+A and interaction during breaks), and the remaining half-day involving more breakout-group-type interactions for members of the college and across the University for participants to share their own work and facilitate collaboration.
