SUMMARY:History Pub: Trees\, Landscapes\, Climate\, and What Comes Next
DESCRIPTION:As we endure another season of heat waves and catastrophic wildfires\, Vivek Shandas and Joshua Howe will discuss the historic and contemporary relationships among Oregon’s trees\, rural and urban forests\, and climate change. \nTickets are available here for purchase ($5) or at the door ($6).\nOregon’s landscapes have been shaped by forces including evolution\, climate\, human behavior\, and intersections among all three. The evolution of trees shaped ancient landscapes\, which then were shaped anew through millennia relationships with Indigenous people. During the past two centuries\, many of our relationships with trees and forests have been shaped by the social\, economic\, and environmental structures that drastically remade landscapes across the state. Today\, those regional histories are intersecting with the global phenomenon of climate change\, forcing all of us to contend not only with what has led to the current reality but also how our actions will shape the future. \nPresented by Oregon Historical Society and World Forestry Center\, this program is hosted at McMenamin's Kennedy School. It is the first in a two-part series about forests\, climate\, and history; the second program will feature Indigenous knowledge holders and their relationship to cultural burning on Monday\, November 25. \nAbout the speakers: \n \nVivek Shandas is Professor of Geography at Portland State University. As an interdisciplinary scholar\, Vivek studies the past and emergent characteristics that generate vulnerability and produce resilience in communities and landscapes. He has contributed to over 100 publications\, five books\, and his research has been featured in the NYTimes\, The New Yorker\, National Geographic\, Scientific American\, The Atlantic\, Times of India\, Le Monde\, and many other media outlets. In 2023\, he was appointed by the US Secretary of Agriculture to serve on the National Urban and Community Forestry Advisory Council\, and otherwise serves as a consultant to several public\, private\, and non-profit organizations. Vivek received his PhD in urban ecology from the University of Washington\, and holds degrees in biology\, economics\, and environmental policy. During his spare time\, he revels in the Earth's deep history\, cosmology\, and pines for wood-fired pizza and picnic tables. \n \nJoshua Howe is Associate Professor of History and Environmental Studies and Chair of the Environmental Studies Program at Reed College. His recent books\, Behind the Curve: Science and the Politics of Global Warming (University of Washington Press\, 2014) and Making Climate Change History: Documents from Global Warming’s Past (University of Washington Press\, 2017)\, explore the political history of climate change since the 1950s\, and his work on climate change and the Anthropocene has also appeared in Environmental History\, Historical Studies in the Natural Sciences\, Climatic Change\, Diplomatic History\, and a number of edited volumes. In his current work\, Josh investigates the environmental legacies of American foreign policy decisions from the early 1950s through the second American war in Iraq\, and his forthcoming co-authored book with Alexander Lemons\, Warbody: A Marine Sniper and the Hidden Violence of Modern Warfare (W.W.
