This book has helped me acknowledge the value of all those other efforts, rather than feel burnt out or paralyzed in the face of the scale of the world\u2019s problems and institutional barriers to our goals.\u00a0 In this presentation, then, I want discuss how this book helped me see the work of the KAN and the work I do in my daily life in radically new ways. From Emergent Strategy, I propose we approach our work in terms of:<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\">\u2013 cultivating community and relations (committing ourselves to span an inch wide and a mile deep rather than the other way around)<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\">\u2013 valuing conversation over deliverables<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\">\u2013 expanding our notion of\u00a0 what counts as \u201caction,\u201d based on Brown\u2019s nonlinear and iterative view of social change<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\">\u2013 shifting toward resilience as a priority over \u201cproblem-solving,\u201d in both pedagogy and curriculum development<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\">\u2013 increasing appreciation for the theory of the fractal for understanding how change happens and for grasping the power we each all hold<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\">\u2013 emphasizing the importance of self-care for ourselves and our students<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\">\u2013 shifting curriculum toward affective resilience and emergent strategy as opposed to just content or \u201cmarketable skills\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\">\u2013 paying attention to what we want to grow, rather than all the things that are wrong (in life, pedagogy, how we spend our time and attention, in committees and other collaborations, etc.)<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\">\u2013 doing work that fuels us.<\/p>\n<p>In what ways might the KAN manifest emergent strategies for the network\u2019s stated goals?\u00a0 How can principles of emergent strategy help us understand our work, both in and outside the KAN?<\/p>\n<div  style='height:65px' class='hr hr-invisible   avia-builder-el-5  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\/XGVE1E8lDUk?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>The Chico 2030 Project: Climate Forecasting for Everyone<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Mark Stemen<\/p>\n<p>For most Californians, the climate issue remains geographically distant, so they can easily dismiss it.\u00a0 Faculty reinforce this distance in our classrooms when we describe potential climate impacts that are hundreds if not thousands of miles away.\u00a0 Cal-Adapt has the potential to change that classroom dynamic.\u00a0 The new climate-modeling tool developed by the California Energy Commission (CEC) now allows anyone to model climate in California by zip code.<\/p>\n<p>My presentation will describe how students in GEOG 506: Community Service in Geography used the Cal-Adapt climate tools to forecast the climate in Chico, CA for the period 2030-2050. Students then met, data in hand, with key staff at the City of Chico to catalog potential impacts to the community and City services. Their findings and all research materials were placed on the web to allow others to continue the project.<\/p>\n<p>The CEC developed Cal-Adapt primarily for use by public planners.\u00a0 In my class, however, we discovered the tool is also useful in the fields of public health, criminology and creative writing.\u00a0 Some students used the tool to explore past connections between heat waves and hospital visits and crime rates, while others wrote fictional accounts of the near future using the forecasts available with Cal-Adapt.\u00a0 This presentation will demonstrate how faculty from across the campus can use Cal-Adapt to improve the teaching of climate change in their classes.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"line-height: 1.5;\"><div  style='height:40px' 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><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 18pt;\"><a id=\"QA\"><\/a>Q &amp; A<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><div  style='height:20px' 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><\/span><br \/>\nHave questions or comments?
