SUMMARY:What's so great about Amsterdam?
DESCRIPTION:Tuesday\, September 19\, 2023\n\n\n1-2 p.m. | Zoom Webinar | Cost: FREE \n\nRich Stein and Maria Diecidue had heard a lot of good things about Amsterdam from their younger cousins living in Germany. The ease of train travel to different parts of Europe made this an appealing starting point for Rich and Maria’s 2022 travels\, but Amsterdam on its own has a lot to offer – famous canals that enabled the Dutch to master land use; rich history as an early empire and commercial juggernaut; welcoming citizens who sheltered the Frank family and others during WWII; progressive reputation regarding drugs and sex… there is so much to talk about.\n\n\n(Photo supplied by Rich Stein)\n\n\nREGISTER

SUMMARY:Women in Geography Webinar Series: Linda C. Samuels
DESCRIPTION:Wednesday\, September 27\, 2023\n\n\n7 p.m. | Zoom Webinar | Cost: FREE \n\nInfrastructural Optimism: Design Strategies for Next Generation Systems\n\nWith a multitrillion-dollar infrastructure bill recently passed by Congress and threats of climate change more evident with every superlative weather event\, flood\, and forest fire\, the urgency for geospatial thinkers\, designers\, and planners to be proactive participants in climate and equity solutions is stronger than ever. Infrastructural Optimism\, Samuels’s recent book and the basis for this lecture\, is based broadly on the concept that everyone deserves to believe in a better future – for themselves\, our society\, and the planet – and that the design and production of infrastructure\, our largest public space\, should be contributing to that better future rather than detracting from it. To shift the paradigm away from last generation infrastructure\, designers must work collaboratively across disciplines\, recognize the value of environmental interdependencies\, and prioritize equitable investments to improve quality of life for all. \n\nREGISTER
