This talk will describe a 5-year NSF-funded project which brought American Indian high school students to UC Irvine for a 2-week Earth System Science summer camp (AISIESS). Students spend the first week camping at the La Jolla Band of Luise\u00f1o Indians reservation where they participate in hands-on scientific activities with academic staff and the tribal environmental professionals. The second week is spent at UC Irvine where students complete Native Studies classes and work on individual projects related to environmental issues specific to their tribal community. I will describe the aspects of the camp that we felt had the most impact on students, and our ideas for continuing to increase the participation of American Indian students in geoscience and other STEM fields.<\/p>\n<div  style='height:100px' class='hr hr-invisible   avia-builder-el-4  el_after_av_hr  el_before_av_hr '><span class='hr-inner ' ><span class='hr-inner-style'><\/span><\/span><\/div>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/4XTnOyt9C9k?list?&amp;rel=0&amp;theme=light&amp;showinfo=0&amp;disablekb=1&amp;hd=1&amp;autohide=1&amp;color=white\" width=\"1130\" height=\"563\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><em>Latina Environmentalist Activism in Los Angeles: the Ovarian Psycos Bicycle Brigade<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Gabriela Nu\u00f1ez\u00a0(CSU) CSUF<\/p>\n<p>I build on the work of scholars of the humanities who argue that \u201cthe humanities provide an imaginative space and set of critical tools for grappling with issues of power, representation, and materiality.

What role can Chicanx cultural production have in the teaching of climate change and sustainability? My presentation speaks to this question to consider how we can use Chicanx cultural texts in the classroom to teach the vital connections between social justice, feminism, climate change and sustainable ways of living.

The Resilience Commitment is a comprehensive 3-year campus planning and community engagement process that aims to reduce vulnerability and enhance resilience to future climate impacts. The concept of resilience has been troubled in the academic scholarship, receiving critique from multiple disciplines for its lack of attention to power relations, politics, and social\/environmental justice. However, the process of operationalizing the Resilience Commitment at CSULB has sought to thoughtfully engage these critiques and move forward with issues of diversity, power imbalances, and climate justice as core organizing themes. Thus, I will attempt to tackle the question of whether the Resilience Commitment can function as an effective step in transforming our curriculums, campuses, and communities to achieve climate justice goals. I will share our experience with the process, including opportunities and obstacles, and discuss how we are working to infuse resilience into a broad range of campus and community activities.<\/p>\n<div  style='height:100px' class='hr hr-invisible   avia-builder-el-6  el_after_av_hr  el_before_av_hr '><span class='hr-inner ' ><span class='hr-inner-style'><\/span><\/span><\/div>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/_oOuTEOFC4A?list?&amp;rel=0&amp;theme=light&amp;showinfo=0&amp;disablekb=1&amp;hd=1&amp;autohide=1&amp;color=white\" width=\"1130\" height=\"563\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><em>Teaching professional and leadership skills, sustainability awareness, and self-efficacy through collaborations between university and high school classes<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Jessica Pratt<\/p>\n<p>Communication and collaboration across disciplinary boundaries and between communities of learning and practice are essential to addressing the myriad conservation and sustainability issues facing our society. One step in achieving this is to foster mutually beneficial relationships between the university and the community to promote positive social and environmental change. A learning objective that educators often have for students is effective communication of course content to broad audiences. Assignments relating to this learning objective typically only require students to interact directly with other students in their classes; where students conduct and present research projects on relevant issues this often means they are \u201cpreaching to the choir.\u201d Integrating student-public interactions into courses through community-engaged scholarship and presentation of course projects to audiences outside of the university setting provides students with a more empowering experience that teaches essential professional and leadership skills. In particular, collaborations between university and high school classes on such projects can increase\u00a0sustainability\u00a0awareness and self-efficacy for all students. Interaction in such settings allows students to increase the impact of their research, network with important community groups, form mentoring relationships, and contribute to a shared vision for sustainability locally.<\/p>\n<div  style='height:100px' class='hr hr-invisible   avia-builder-el-7  el_after_av_hr  el_before_av_hr '><span class='hr-inner ' ><span class='hr-inner-style'><\/span><\/span><\/div>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/eIOpKahB2v4?list?&amp;rel=0&amp;theme=light&amp;showinfo=0&amp;disablekb=1&amp;hd=1&amp;autohide=1&amp;color=white\" width=\"1130\" height=\"563\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><em><br \/>\n<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Student Experts and Partners: Engaging Student Strengths in the Climate Justice Classroom<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Jade Sasser<\/p>\n<p>Students today have access to a broad range of digital platforms, many of which they engage with daily.
