ESE-faculty-list Upcoming FNR Seminar

[Ledman, Amy L]

Good evening,

Dr. Hardiman's lab will be hosting a FNR seminar next week that may be of interested to some.

"Who has access to nature in the city? Urban social inequities and biodiversity often converge but not always."

Dr. Paige Warren
Professor and Dept Head
Department of Environmental Conservation
UMass-Amherst

12:00 PM - 1:00 PM Friday, December 9th
Zoom<https://purdue-edu.zoom.us/j/98641216210?pwd=NEJvamFVZk4xMkM1OVN0cFFTN3Fpdz09> / PFEN 241

Access to nature is important for the well-being of urban residents. A growing body of work has documented disparate access to urban nature by race and socioeconomic status, which may in turn beget inequitable outcomes in terms of residents' health, happiness, and satisfaction. However, the story is not the same in every city - research in some cities reveals a positive association between wealth, privilege, and biodiversity. Yet, other studies show that areas with lower incomes or high proportions of minoritized racial identities have greater access to biodiversity. In still other studies socioeconomic factors and biodiversity appear unrelated. The presentation will discuss why this might be, as well as some ideas on achieving greater access for all.

There's also information in the attached flyer.
