SUMMARY:Disability on the Frontline of Climate Change
DESCRIPTION:People with disabilities face new threats from climate change driven disasters. They are more likely to lose assistive devices or medication\, become disconnected from support networks and be left behind during an emergency. Coastal South Asia’s disability community is at particular risk as global warming contributes to sea level rise\, more intense storms\, heat waves and floods. \nJoin us on October 17 for a screening of INVISIBLE IMPACT; DISABILITY ON CLIMATE CHANGE’S FRONTLINE\, a new short film by New Jersey-based journalist Jason Strother. The film explores the above concerns throughout the region. \nThe screening will be followed by a panel discussion with experts Javier Robles\, JD and Christine Schell\, MPA\, moderated by Jennifer Senick\, Ph.D. They will discuss the implications of the film for the NJ metro area in terms of climate policy\, disaster preparedness\, and emergency operations & how the urban planning and public health professions can facilitate life-saving improvements in these areas. \nVIew Panelist Bios \nLearn more about Invisible Impact at www.lens15.com/impact. \nGuest with accessibility questions please contact giulianna.rivera@rutgers.edu

SUMMARY:Bildner Center: Homes of the Past: A Lost Jewish Museum
DESCRIPTION:Jeffrey Shandler\, Distinguished Professor of Jewish Studies at Rutgers University\, will discuss his new book\, Homes of the Past: A Lost Jewish Museum (Indiana University Press\, 2024). Shandler tells the powerful story of how immigrant Jewish scholars in 1940s New York sought to build a museum to commemorate the Jewish cultures of Eastern Europe destroyed during the Holocaust. Newly arrived in the United States\, this small group of Polish Jews had devoted their professional lives to the study of Europe’s Yiddish-speaking Jews at the YIVO Institute for Jewish Research. Faced with the devastating knowledge that returning to their former homes and resuming their scholarly work there was no longer viable\, they sought to address their profound sense of loss by continuing their work\, under radically different circumstances\, to document the European Jewish lives\, places\, and ways of living that were being destroyed. \nHomes of the Past explores this largely unknown episode of modern Jewish history and museum history and demonstrates that the project\, even though it was never realized\, marked a critical inflection point in the dynamic interrelations between Jews in America and Eastern Europe. \nSupported by the Sagner Family Foundation \nRSVP at https://bildnercenter.rutgers.edu/events/upcoming-events/icalrepeat.detail/2024/09/18/142/-/homes-of-the-past-a-lost-jewish-museum

SUMMARY:Changes in Healthcare Visits Due to Cannabis Use Following Legalization of Non-medical Cannabis in Canada
DESCRIPTION:Join us on Wednesday\, March 27\, at 12 pm ET for a presentation of the NJ ACTS Special Populations Core 2024 Seminar Series – Changes in Healthcare Visits Due to Cannabis Use Following Legalization of Non-medical Cannabis in Canada with Daniel Myran\, MD\, MPH\, CCFP\, FRCPC. \nAn increasing number of countries and US states have legalized or are considering the legalization of cannabis for non-medical use. A major concern is that legalization could increase cannabis use and associated harms. This presentation will review studies tracking changes in healthcare visits due to cannabis in children and adults following non-medical cannabis legalization in Canada. \nDr. Daniel Myran is a clinician-scientist and assistant professor with the Department of Family Medicine at the University of Ottawa. He is an associate scientist at ICES\, where his research program focuses on using natural experiments combined with linked health administrative data to better understand the impacts of public policy on mental health and substance use healthcare visits and outcomes. He practices family medicine with an interest in addiction medicine. \nRegister for the event: https://go.rutgers.edu/jveb79ao

SUMMARY:Micromobility 2.0 Workshop: Smarter Strategies for Safe Travel
DESCRIPTION:The Micromobility 2.0 Workshop was held on Friday\, March 22\, 2024. The Workshop bridged research and practice surrounding the use of micromobility devices (e-bikes\, e-scooters\, bicycles\, etc.) and how best to address safety\, infrastructure\, and the use of innovative technology. \nView Summary Report \nWorkshop sessions covered: \n\nThe state of the practice and emerging micromobility challenges in New Jersey\nHow to use a Vision Zero lens to address safety for all road users\nInnovative technology related to data collection\, analysis\, prediction\, and limitations/li>\nSolutions to safety issues using social\, infrastructure\, and technological strategies/li>\n\nWorkshop attendees included engineers\, urban planners\, public health professionals\, innovative technology experts and scientists\, micromobility companies\, active transportation advocates\, and local\, regional\, state\, and federal policymakers. \nThe Micromobility 2.0 Workshop was hosted at the James Florio Special Events Forum at the Edward J. Bloustein School of Planning and Public Policy at Rutgers University\, 33 Livingston Ave\, New Brunswick\, NJ. \nContinuing maintenance credits are available for AICP-certified planners who attended the workshop. Click here for more information. \nUp to three (3) PDH credits are available for professional engineers. \nThis workshop was funded through a grant provided by the National Science Foundation. \nFor more information\, email: micromobility@ejb.rutgers.edu \n\nWorkshop Agenda\nWelcome & Opening Remarks\nJames Florio Special Events Forum \n\nStuart Shapiro\, PhD – Professor and Dean – Edward J. Bloustein School of Planning and Public Policy\nJacob Kravetz\, PhD – Science and Technology Policy Fellow – National Science Foundation\nRobert Noland\, PhD – Director – Alan M. Voorhees Transportation Center\n\n\nSession 1\nState of the Practice in Micromobility: Evolving Norms and Policies\nThe session delves into the dynamic landscape of micromobility\, focusing on the users\, data\, policies\, accessibility\, inclusivity. As cities evolve\, so do the norms and policies that shape their micromobility-friendly infrastructure such as bike lanes and parking. Learn about the potential for sustainable and efficient urban environments where connectivity and accessibility redefine the way we experience cities. \nClick here to see presentation slides\nSpeakers \n\nLeigh Ann Von Hagen\, AICP\, PP (moderator) – Managing Director and Adjunct Professor – Alan M.
