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:Leveraging Data-Driven Methods and Time-of-Use Data to Evaluate Urban Decarbonization Policies and Streamline Building Energy Audits
DESCRIPTION:Presented by Dr. Abigail Andrews\, Post-Doctoral Associate and NJ BPU Energy Fellow in Edward J. Bloustein School of Planning and Public Policy’s Center for Urban Policy Research.  \nIdentifying opportunities to minimize energy use and carbon emissions of buildings is important for urban decarbonization. However\, doing so often necessitates a capital-intensie building energy audit that requires time-intensive on-site inspections. As municipalities across the United States mandate various urban decarbonization policies (e.g.\, benchmarking\, audits\, and building performance standards) there is a growing need for building owners to audit buildings efficiently and at a low cost. Emerging data streams (e.g.\, automated meter infrastructure) allow the evaluation of real time energy use and carbon emissions data. This data not only provides a deeper understanding into building operations but also may provide audit insights and decarbonization opportunities. This seminar will discuss the potential of integrating time-of-use data in urban decarbonization policy and the development of an integrated physics-based model and data-classification method to identify potential inefficiencies in a building using electric meter data. Time-of-use energy data paired with machine learning may streamline urban decarbonization policy by improving the effectiveness and scalability of evaluation processes. \nDr. Andrews received her PhD in Civil and Environmental Engineering from Stanford University at the Urban Informatics Lab. She also holds a MS in Sustainable Design and Construction from Stanford University and a BA in Environmental Policy from Barnard College. Dr. Andrews uses data from building energy policies (e.g.\, benchmarking\, building performance standards\, auditing) to evaluate urban decarbonization potential and to push forward equitable building decarbonization. Currently\, Dr. Andrews is interested in how municipalities can encourage the design and construction of Grid-Interactive Efficient Buildings. \nFor questions Dr. David Coit (coit@soe.rutgers.edu)\, Dr. Aziz Ezzat (aziz.ezzat@rutgers.edu) or Dr. Elin Wicks (elm52@soe.rutgers.edu)

SUMMARY:Defending Democracy: The Fight for a Floor Beneath Which No Person Should Fall
DESCRIPTION:The Gov. James J. Florio Visiting Scholar in Public Policy Lecture\nIn partnership with the offices of Florio\, Perrucci\, Steinhardt\, & Fader LLC\, in 2015 the Bloustein School recognized Gov. Florio’s public service career through the endowment of a high-level visiting scholar. The annual Governor James J. Florio Distinguished Visiting Scholar of Public Policy will be a former senior government official or policy practitioner\, focusing on an issue that was central to his legislative and gubernatorial career. The themes of the lecture include public service\, foreign policy\, the environment\, transportation and mass transit\, education\, welfare reform\, health care\, and gun control. \nCongresswoman Bonnie Watson Coleman\nU.S. House of Representatives (D-NJ 12th District); House Appropriations Committee \nThe first Black woman to represent New Jersey in Congress\, Bonnie Watson Coleman’s work in the House centers on her belief that\, in the United States\, there should exist a floor below which we should never allow any child\, any family\, any person to fall. Knowing that millions struggle every day just to make ends meet from the first to the last of the month\, her legislative work seeks to bridge the gap for these Americans\, making sure that the richest nation in the world doesn’t allow millions to live below the poverty line; doesn’t allow vulnerable groups to suffer the fallout of environmental violations; doesn’t allow profit margins to define the standards or the motivations for incarceration; and doesn’t allow bias to push everyday needs like car insurance out of reach for working families. \nWatson Coleman’s work in Congress continues a family legacy of public service\, fighting for women\, economically and socially disadvantaged populations\, and other vulnerable groups in our society. Prior to her election as a Representative for New Jersey’s 12th Congressional District\, Watson Coleman served eight consecutive terms in the New Jersey General Assembly and shattered racial and gender barriers to become the first Black woman to serve as Majority Leader\, and as the Chair of the New Jersey Democratic State Committee. During her time as Majority Leader\, Watson Coleman convened a year- long series of public hearings on reforms to prisoner re-entry programs while shepherding legislation through the Assembly that the New York Times called “a model for the rest of the nation\,” on prisoner rehabilitation and release. \nFree and open to the public.
