In this week's episode of then & now, we present a recording of a recent panel discussion focusing on L.A. wildfires past, present, and future. This program is part of the “Why History Matters” series presented by the UCLA Meyer and Renee Luskin Department of History—a series dedicated to the belief that historical knowledge is an indispensable, and often missing, ingredient in public debate.”Why History Matters: L.A. Wildfires Past, Present, and Future,” brought experts together to explore how historical and indigenous perspectives can reshape our understanding of wildfires, especially in light of the devastating Los Angeles County fires in January 2025. The discussion, anchored in the Fowler Museum at UCLA's “Fire Kinship: Southern California Native Ecology and Art” exhibition, interrogates prevailing narratives that frame fire solely as a destructive force, instead foregrounding indigenous epistemologies that recognize fire as a vital ecological process and a generational resource. Professors Hitoshi Abe, Gerald Clarke, Jr., and Char Miller distinguish three primary drivers of contemporary wildfire crises: climate change, fire suppression policies, and patterns of urban expansion into fire-prone landscapes. To more effectively mitigate and adapt to the escalating risks posed by wildfires, these panelists discuss ways to integrate traditional ecological knowledge with contemporary land management and urban policy.Moderator:Stephen Aron is the Calvin and Marilyn Gross Director and President of the Autry Museum of the American West. A specialist in the history of frontiers, borderlands, and the American West, Dr. Aron holds degrees from Amherst College (B.A.) and the University of California, Berkeley (M.A., Ph.D.).Panelists:Hitoshi Abe is a Professor in the Department of Architecture and Urban Design at the University of California, Los Angeles.

LA officials say the destruction caused by the deadly wildfires is "massive", "unimaginable" and unprecedented. Firefighters are a long way off containing the largest Palisades blaze, with 86% of it thought to be burning out of control. The death toll remains at 24, while another 23 people are still missing. Char Miller —a Professor of Environmental Analysis at LA's Pomona College— told Tim Beveridge the firestorm has been unrelenting. He says while they're used to fires in California, this one is different, and it feels like they're constantly under siege. LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The devastating wildfires sweeping across Los Angeles have claimed at least 24 lives, with officials warning that its worsening condition could intensify the crisis. Gavin Newsom, California’s governor, described the recent wildfires as the “worst disaster in US history”. The Palisades and Eaton fires have scorched over 40,000 acres combined, leaving a path of destruction that threatens various iconic landmarks and countless homes. As the firefight continues, questions are beginning to mount about whether LA was adequately prepared. On The Big Story, Hongbin Jeong speaks with Char Miller, W.M. Keck Professor of Environmental Analysis and History, Pomona College in Claremont, California to find out more. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Produced by KSQD 90.7, 89.5 & 89.7FM “Be Bold America!” Sunday, October 6, 2024 at 5:00pm (PT) How do historic documents show that fire suppression was driven by explicit racist and colonial beliefs? Is there nothing in American history that isn't based in racism in some way? Well, fire suppress in California is and learn how in this "BurnScars", KSQD podcast during interviews with Dr. Char Miller and Dr. Peter Hess.  There have been efforts to suppress fire in California since the 18th century Spanish invasion continuing through the US Forest Service's relentless nationwide campaign in the 20th century. The Forest Service argues that suppression is critical for good forest management especially, but not exclusively, in the American West. Yet, in recent years, suppression has come under increasing scrutiny as a contributing factor to our current climate crisis exacerbated era of mega-wildfires. Interview Guest: Dr. Char Miller is an award-winning teacher and writer. Dr. Miller is the W. M. Keck Professor of Environmental Analysis and History at Pomona College. His new book is “Burn Scars: A Documentary History of Fire Suppression, from Colonial Origins to the Resurgence of Cultural Burning.” Dr. Miller's previous book was Natural Consequences: Intimate Essays for a Planet and Peril, and he also authored: West Side Rising: How San Antonio's 1921 Flood Devastated a City and Sparked a Latino Environmental Justice Movement, and Theodore Roosevelt: Naturalist in the Arena. Dr. Miller is a senior fellow at the Pinchot Institute for Conservation, Corresponding Member of the Society of American Foresters and a Fellow of the Forest History Society. Guest CoHost: Dr. Peter M. J. Hess earned his M.A. in Oxford and his Ph.D. in History in Berkeley, and writes and lectures on the relationship between religion, culture and sciences.  A former Director of Outreach of the National Center for Science Education, Peter is the author of Catholicism and Science and of numerous articles and book chapters on religious and ethical aspects of climate disruption.  Dr. Hess is qualified as a Firefighter Type Two (FFT2) and is co-founder of the Lake County Prescribed Burn Association, a consortium of trained fire practitioners. Dr. Hess is currently writing a paper for the Sierra Club on the similarities and differences between ancient cultural burning practiced by indigenous tribes in California, and the prescribed burning increasingly practiced by forest agencies, municipalities, and private groups. Dr. Hess is also a contributing chapter author in “Climate Abandoned: We're on the Endangered Species List.”

Why do urban rivers look like they do? What makes one river key to a city's identity and another one largely unknowable? We wrap up Season Four with a trip to the banks of the Los Angeles River, where Cindy Olnick chats with new dual-degree alum Leslie Dinkin about her award-winning master's thesis, Heritage in Practice: A Study of Two Urban Rivers. Leslie wanted to know what happened to set the Los Angeles and San Antonio Rivers on such different courses in the development of their respective cities. In addition to comparing their histories, she walked nearly sixty miles along both rivers. In her thesis, she documents the experience through her written reflections and hundreds of photos by Rio (yes, Rio) Asch Phoenix. In the episode, she shares stories, insights, and part of her conversation with Char Miller, Director of Environmental Analysis and W. M. Keck Professor of Environmental Analysis and History at Pomona College.  Photos, links, and transcript on episode pageConnect with us on Instagram, Facebook, and LinkedIn

This episode focuses on the design, politics, and economics of restaurants, including some of the reasons that the experience of dining out is a lot more complex than it may seem. One conversation with restaurant design and consumer behaviour expert Dr. Stephani Robson, and another with chef-turned-social gastronomer Christophe Dubois, shed light on the dynamics of cooking and serving food. (The conversation with Christophe is in French—see transcript for English translation.) David and Maxime go humble in the bread-and-butter edition of ‘Stick This in Your Mouth' segment, and vocalist and drag performer Gabriel Dharmoo responds to the Food Questionnaire.Dr. Stephani Robson is an expert in restaurant design and consumer behaviour with a master degree in Design and Environmental Analysis and a PhD in Environmental Psychology, both from from Cornell University.

The fashion industry contributes to roughly 10% of all global carbon emissions (releasing 1.2 billion tonnes of greenhouse gases into the atmosphere every year). It is also the world's second worst offender in terms of water and plastic pollution, seeing that the majority of our clothes are made from plastic and contribute to microplastic pollution. In this show, our guest Dr. Joanne Brasch, Special Projects Manager for California Product Stewardship Council, walks us through the current state of disposal, shares what prime solutions must exist, and how their organization and others are pushing on policies and legislation that will hold manufacturers accountable, create transparent industry practices, and address social and environmental justice concerns. It is estimated that 100 billion garments are produced each year, while 92 million tons end up in landfills. That is the equivalent of one trash truck full of clothes being dumped into the landfill every second. In 7 years, it is expected that the 92 million discarded tons will increase upwards of 148 million tons according to Fashion Revolution. In the United States, wasted clothing and textiles make up almost 8% of all landfill waste. Many times, textile waste isn't recycled due a complex web of issues from mixed material types to lack of sorting and processing infrastructure. Undesirable clothing donated to thrift stores or dropped off in parking lot collection bins could very well be disguised as second hand clothing that is exported to and dumped on other countries, such as Ghana, Kenya, Chile and more. A recent documentary revealed that 300m items of junk plastic clothing from around the world are dumped in Kenya every year. So what needs to happen to turn the tide on the textile dilemma?

Cool, Luminous, and Highly Variable Stars in the Magellanic Clouds II: Spectroscopic and Environmental Analysis of Thorne-Żytkow Object and Super-AGB Star Candidates by Anna J. G. O'Grady et al. on Thursday 24 November In previous work we identified a population of 38 cool and luminous variable stars in the Magellanic Clouds and examined 11 in detail in order to classify them as either Thorne-.Zytkow Objects (T.ZOs, red supergiants with a neutron star cores) or super-AGB stars (the most massive stars that will not undergo core collapse). This population includes HV,2112, a peculiar star previously considered in other works to be either a T.ZO or high-mass AGB star. Here we continue this investigation, using the kinematic and radio environments and local star formation history of these stars to place constraints on the age of the progenitor systems and the presence of past supernovae. These stars are not associated with regions of recent star formation, and we find no evidence of past supernovae at their locations. Finally, we also assess the presence of heavy elements and lithium in their spectra compared to red supergiants. We find strong absorption in Li and s-process elements compared to RSGs in most of the sample, consistent with super-AGB nucleosynthesis, while HV,2112 shows additional strong lines associated with T.ZO nucleosynthesis. Coupled with our previous mass estimates, the results are consistent with the stars being massive (~4-6.5M$_{odot}$) or super-AGB (~6.5-12M$_{odot}$) stars in the thermally pulsing phase, providing crucial observations of the transition between low- and high-mass stellar populations. HV,2112 is more ambiguous; it could either be a maximally massive sAGB star, or a T.ZO if the minimum mass for stability extends down to

Ethan Brown, the host of his amazing podcast the Sweaty Penguin, proves that satire can be smart and insightful. He studied at Boston University, obtaining a training in Environmental Analysis and Policy and Film and Television. He talks about science communication, his late-night approach to breaking down the climate news of the moment, and what he's learned about bringing people together on the same page. Climate science much before COVID-19 has been politicized, trivialized and the wellspring of many false prophets. Ethan demonstrates how to cut through all that, describes his own experience crafting a podcast, and demonstrates how humor may be the best (climate) medicine. Listen and enjoy!Ethan Brown is a graduate of Boston University and studied Environmental Analysis & Policy and Film & Television. Ethan was never the outdoorsy type growing up, but after studying the risks associated with climate change, he felt compelled to use his years of comedy writing experience as Editor-in-Chief of both his high school and college satire publications to communicate environmental issues to others in a fun and entertaining way.Key Highlights:[00:01 - 12:00] - Opening SegmentHumor is a tool that can be used to make climate change conversations more accessible and funHow comedy can help to motivate people to engage with the issues moreThe political and healthcare-related public health issues have become more politicized [12:01 - 22:13] Comedy Was The Tool That Made SenseWhy conveying complex scientific information in an era of polarization and politicization is keyThe reason why there has to be some entertainment value Ethan's experience using comedy to reach a new audience[22:14- 29:15] - Climate Change is Already Causing Major DamageHow cities that are on coasts will be affected by sea-level rise The main points about climate change and its effects on the economy[29:16- 42:31] - Climate Change Requires a Multi-Faceted ApproachIndividual action and sacrifice for the public good are importantEthan's outlook on the gap between Liberals and Conservatives when it comes to climate changeLeaders need to understand is that we need to be on the same team[42:32 - 47:35] - Closing SegmentHow nuance is important when making policy decisionsHow The Sweaty Penguin educates people about climate changeYou can connect with Ethan Brown through LinkedIn.

Wendy Michaelis with fixAIR Dallas Indoor Air Quality in Plano, TX,  joins The Health Engineer Clint Fuqua to discuss air quality issues North Texans commonly deal with. Home inspections and air duct cleans don't reveal the bacteria and pathogens that we're exposed to in our homes, automobiles, and workspaces. Air quality effects more than our breathing, and most people don't realize the exposure they are getting on a routine basis. These issues can get quite expensive, and it's possible that insurance covers the cost of analysis. fixAir is qualified to assess and document the toxin, recommend remediation protocols, and then return to inspect that the problem was resolved. Insurance adjusters can deny coverage when this level of reporting is not present. It's also possible a pathogenic exposure or allergic reaction must be proven for a medical professional to take your ailments seriously. With fixAir, you can be confident that pathogens are exposed and eliminated. Go to https://iaqrx.com/ to learn more about fixAir, and call (469) 225-3397 to schedule your assessment today.

Aisha reminds us that seeds of the impossible have been and continue to be sown in the imagination of those whose realities have been confined by systems and structures that divide, violate, erase, and oppress. She asks us to make space for the unknown in our dreaming of a just and compassionate world and offers a recipe for a collective choral futuring, built on the values of self determination, participatory design, and time intensive relationship building. You can learn more about Aisha and her work at Intelligent Mischief at the website: www.intelligentmischief.com

#BlackBotanistsWeek, a campaign first organized in July 2020 to "promote, encourage, create a safe space for, and find more Black people (and BIPOC) who love plants!," sparked a nation-wide dialogue on the vital and ongoing need to make the plant sciences more inclusive, accessible and diverse. Black people (and BIPOC) have faced systemic racism in related professions, in addition to plaguing discrimination that haunts people of color outdoors and in the field - such as the incident that happened to Audubon Board Member Christian Cooper in New York's Central Park. On this episode of Forever California, we hand the mic to Naomi Fraga, PhD, Director of Conservation Programs at California Botanic Garden, as she stewards a panel discussion on diversity in the plant sciences. Joining Naomi are scientists, activists, professors and community leaders who share their experiences discovering botany and moving the needle forward for inclusion in the field. Panelists include:Tanisha Williams, PhD: one of the founders of #BlackBotanistsWeek and a Postdoctoral Researcher Bucknell UniversityAnn Sakai, PhD: Professor, University of California, IrvineMuriel Poston, PhD: Professor of Environmental Analysis, Pitzer College Joel Abraham, PhD: Associate Professor, California State University FullertonPanelists speak about their careers and experiences in the plant sciences, sharing inspiration and pathways to elevate others interested in plants and the larger natural world.California Botanic Garden sincerely thanks everyone involved in the production of this episode; both for their generosity in sharing their stories, as well as for making the plant sciences a better community for all through lifetimes of commitment, courage and compassion. Here are some additional links to programs created to diversify and advance plant sciences and related STEM or museum fields: BSA PLANTS ProgramESA SEEDSDoris Duke Conservation Scholars Program  Ford Foundation FellowshipGetty Marrow Undergraduate Internship  Ronald E.

We're joined this week by Char Miller, director of Environmental Analysis; W.M. Keck professor of Environmental Analysis and History and chair of Sociology. In our first episode since classes at Pomona College were moved on line, Miller talks about the anticipation of teaching online and the excitement of seeing his students again, even if virtually. Miller’s teaching and research reflect his fascination with all things environmental. Classes on U.S. environmental history, water in the U.S. West, and public lands management, like those on urbanization and the interplay between the natural and built landscapes, have deeply informed his writing—and his cross-disciplinary and cross-campus commitments to Pomona’s Environmental Analysis and History programs as well as to the 5C Environmental Analysis major.

Susan's Full Bio: At 62 years young, Susan Goodkind Wideman is a mom, a life design coach, an elder law & estate planning attorney, an entrepreneur, a widow, a divorcee, an empty-nester, a Yooper, a dog lover, a cross-country skier, a mountain biker, and a baby boomer.   Susan graduated from Cornell University with a degree in Design and Environmental Analysis and went on to work as Editorial Assistant at Industrial Design Magazine. From there, she was hired by Herman Miller, Inc. as a marketing communications specialist. When her department at Herman Miller was eliminated, she spent time as a pharmaceutical rep—work she did not enjoy. So, motivated by the promise of prestige and stability, Susan decided to go to law school at 33. Three years after finishing law school, she opened a successful Elder Law & Estate Planning practice. Her practice grew, she took on a partner, and they became well-known and respected.   About five years ago at the time of this recording, Susan was finding herself angry, irritable and short-tempered. She worked more, slept less, and in 2018, she burned out. While law was lucrative and she provided a valuable service to her clients, it didn’t make her happy.   When she started exploring her options, she found Women Who Went for It! and was so inspired that she reached out to me (Sara McArdle) for one-on-one coaching. As a result of the work we did together, Susan realized the imbalance in her life, and decided to train to be a coach, herself.   In 2019, Susan founded Goodkind of Life, a life design coaching business supporting baby boomers & midlifers who are struggling in the second half of life like she did. She understands their grief, loneliness, hopelessness, anxiety, and depression because she’s been through it. Through Goodkind of Life, Susan helps her clients understand and manage their thoughts and feelings, connect with their core values, and create a life worth living.    Connect with Susan Goodkind Wideman and Goodkind of Life: Her website: www.goodkindoflife.com Facebook: www.facebook.com/goodkindoflife Instagram: www.instagram.com/goodkindoflife   Connect with Sara McArdle and Women Who Went for It: Facebook: www.facebook.com/womenwhowentforit  Website: www.womenwhowentforit.com  Nominate a Podcast Guest (we do not take nominations over email): www.saramcardle.com/podcast-guest  Email (see link above to nominate a podcast guest): womenwhowentforit@gmail.com  Phone: 503.893.2043   Want to make your own career change?

"Our technology that has unleashed such creativity has also unleashed the capacity for us to destroy the very things that we were creating." — Char Miller Clay and David speak with Char Miller, one of the three authors of the 3rd edition of Ogallala: Water for a Dry Land. Char Miller is Director of Environmental Analysis, and W.M. Keck Professor of Environmental Analysis and History at Pomona College. Drop Jefferson into western Kansas or Oklahoma. What does he say about the Ogallala miracle? The Ogallala aquifer is a huge underground water resource which stretches from South Dakota all the way to Texas — an underground lake the size of Lake Huron that most people have never heard of. The aquifer is used to create one of the best agricultural productivity zones on Earth. It supplies water to people, industry and agriculture, and it's expected to run dry by the end of the century. The aquifer is now living on borrowed time because of its decline as a fossil resource. How would Jefferson have reacted to all of this? Ogallala: Water for a Dry Land is coauthored by John Opie, Kenna Lang Archer, and Char Miller.

There are three phases in audience analysis. The first is adapting to your audience before you speak. There are three ways to do this: demographic analysis, attitudinal analysis, and environmental analysis. Demographic analysis involves age, gender, culture, ethnicity, race, religion, and educational level. Audience analysis is the process of examining information about your listeners. That analysis helps you to adapt your message so that your listeners will respond as you wish. In everyday conversations you adapt your message to your audience. For example, if you went to a party the night before, you would explain the party differently to your friends and family. To your best friend you might say, "We partied all night and there were tons of people there." To your mother you might say, "Oh, I had fun with my friends." And to your significant other you might say, "It was fun, I had a great bonding time with my friends." In each of these situations, you are adapting your message to your listening audience. There are three phases in audience analysis: adaptation before, during, and after the speech. Demographic Analysis involves age, gender, culture, ethnicity, race, religion, and educational level. Attitudinal Analysis addresses the audience's attitudes, beliefs, and values. Environmental Analysis is finding out things like the seating arrangement, the number of people likely to attend, and the room lighting. The way the seats are arranged will affec the audience's response. It is also important to know how many people will be there for the speech. And the way the room is lighted will affect the way the audience responds. If it is dark and the speaker is showing overheads, there will not be conversation. But if the room is light and open, the audience may feel more free to talk. The seating arrangement, the number of people and the room lighting are all factors that will affect the speech.

In Seismic City: An Environmental History of San Francisco’s 1906 Earthquake (University of Washington Press, 2017), Joanna Dyl documents the course and effects of the 7.8-magnitude earthquake and subsequent fire that destroyed significant portions of America’s Pacific metropolis. She argues that the earthquake temporarily broke down many of the social divisions that had ordered San Francisco’s society for the previous half-century, bringing individuals from diverse racial and socio-economic backgrounds together in the wreckage. However, the city leaders and administrators worked to rebuild San Francisco–including the very social divisions of race, class, gender that were so disrupted by the earthquake. In addition, San Francisco was demonstrably a “Seismic City,” shaped by and subject to the tectonic forces of Northern California, and yet it was rebuilt in ways that downplayed, ignored, or actively concealed this fact. Dr. Joanna Dyl is an environmental historian and author, and winner of the Rachel Carson Prize for the best dissertation in American environmental history. Her research interests include natural disasters, urban history, and coastal environments. She currently teaches in the Department of Environmental Analysis at Pomona College, and her next project explores American beaches. David Fouser is an adjunct faculty member at Santa Monica College, Chapman University, and American Jewish University. He completed his Ph.D. in 2016 at the University of California, Irvine, and studies the cultural and environmental history of wheat, flour, and bread in Britain and the British Empire.

https://entrearchitect.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/12/ScreenShot2016-12-08at10.40.28AM.png ()Public Interest Design Firms At EntreArchitect, we’re learning that we need to build a better business so we can be better architects. We want to make the work a better place. That’s why we became architects in the first place. We want to provide a positive social impact. What if by building better businesses we built a better world? What if a part of what we do benefits the public in an impactful way? Stay tuned as we share a new online resource to learn more on this idea. This week at EntreArchitect Podcast, Public Interest Design Firms with Mia Scharphie and Gilad Meron of Proactive Practices. Mia’s Origin Story Mia has a masters in landscape architecture but feels that she’s secretly a social worker with designer skills. She’s always been interested in people who get left out and how to bring them back in for most of her life. She worked at a nonprofit in San Fransisco, http://www.publicarchitecture.org/ (Public Architecture), that takes on design challenges that the private market doesn’t have an incentive to be involved in. Today she runs http://creativeagencyco.com (Creative Agency), a research and design consulting practice that works with affordable housing and arts organizations focusing on projects that use creative tools to make change and http://buildyourselfworkshop.com (Build Yourself Workshop), an empowerment workshop for women in creative fields teaching women how to negotiate, be an advocate, and be proactive. Gilad’s Origin Story Gilad has a background in design from a program called Design and Environmental Analysis, an interesting mix of social science research and architecture and design. He got involved in participatory planning and design as a method to shake the environments we live in. That led to public design or community design, as some like to call it. Currently he’s on the board at http://www.communitydesign.org (The Association for Community Design) doing research writing with nonprofits and foundations who do different types of community development work. Living in New Orleans, he started a small coworking space and design collective, https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=1&cad=rja&uact=8&ved=0ahUKEwiwh-qNiOXQAhUmw1QKHQXrCUMQFggeMAA&url=http%3A%2F%2Fthebluehousenola.com%2F&usg=AFQjCNFa29xyUzZONItIhbOBlDxYtHRdVQ&sig2=QCA_95l_rLBgQFXvqeMcvQ (The Blue House), where others can come and have dialogue about civil issues. What is Proactive Practices? Proactive Practices is a web publication that collects case studies on socially impactful design firms. They’re mostly looking at the different ways that designers design for social impact and find ways to do that within their business models. They aren’t just telling the stories and the beauty of the project, but to look at the organizations that make these projects possible. They want to know how you can build a business where you can create social impact over and over again. What inspired you to do this? Mia, Gilad and Nick, their third teammate, had all previously worked or interned at Public Architecture in San Fransisco. At the time, with a limited amount of experience, they had to figure out what pieces were relevant for them to begin the work. Through that organization, they were connected with many people in the growing field of public interest design. There were a public interest projects in that area, but no examinations of the practices behind those projects. They wanted to understand how firms were being built to sustain practices that focused on this kind of work instead of doing just one random project. When they dove in further, they realized the complexity of research they needed to build an understanding. Over the last few years, they’ve gathered lots of insights as to what would be needed
