April 2023: Earth Month

3/26/2023

0 Comments

 
Join the SEAONC SE3 Racial Equity Book Club for our April meeting
 
Date: Thursday, April 13th
Time: 6:30pm-8:00pm

Please join the Racial Equity Book Club’s next meeting! In honor of Earth Month this April, our community will be discussing climate justice as a civil rights issue and contextualizing these issues within the AEC industry. Victims of climate change are typically low income and minority groups who have disproportionately low responsibility for causing emissions in the first place. We hope to have healthy conversations addressing our responsibility as professionals to understand the social context of our design work and how we can push for climate justice in the built environment.

We are still developing resources (be on the lookout for a marketing blast with more reading suggestions) but here are some recommended materials to get you started:

Episode 70: Chandra Robinson (start at 7 minutes, ~50 minute podcast) 
  • Equity in Architecture: It's Part of Sustainability 
  • DEI Best Practices: Sustainability | ASCE (~10 minute video) 
  • The Imperative to Make Equity More of Sustainability Strategy - BWBR 
  • If You Are Serious About Sustainability, Social Equity Can't Be Just Another Add-On - Metropolis 

Additional suggested readings:
  • Indigenous Peoples and Climate Justice (15 min. video)
  • Biden OKs Alaska oil project, draws ire of environmentalists (5 min. Article read)
  • The First Two Years of SE 2050 (First Annual Report!)
