“Racial Justice, Social Equity, and Climate Change Gentrification”
The Urban GISc Lab of the Earth, Environmental, and Geospatial Sciences Department, in partnership with the CUNY College of Staten Island’s Tech Incubator, is co-hosting a 2-day “GIS Day,” a celebration of the Geographic Information Science profession and its practitioners.
In the midst of a pandemic and racial injustices, the world is more digitally interconnected than ever. Geographic Information Systems (GIS) enables us to have a better understanding of climate change and its socio-economic effects on global sustainability and vulnerable populations who are coping with systemic racism.
Join us on November 17th and 18th as speakers from across the country share how GIS is being used to analyze climate change and racial and socioeconomic disparities when it comes to climate gentrification.
It is free to attend, but you must register in advance.

"Epistemic Significance of Africana Women’s Responses to COVID-19"
Bertrade Ngo-Ngijol Banoum, Associate Professor & Chair, Department of Africana Studies
The coronavirus pandemic has disproportionally impacted Black, Indigenous, and People of Color (BIPOC) and laid bare underlying gender, race, and socio-economic inequities. In the face of this existential threat, women in these demographics have led through individual and collective responses. Through the prism of intersectionality and African indigenous frameworks of Ubuntu and Badenya, I will examine women’s mechanisms, strategies, and tactics to fight the pandemic. What lessons can we learn from these intrepid women leaders’ epistemic models to enrich women and gender studies? How do we mainstream them in our academic agendas, discourses, knowledge production and policy to drive social justice?
