Abstract:听An energy system based on renewable energy offersopportunities for distributed ownership and the redistribution of powerin society while avoiding catastrophic climate impacts, but just becausethis potential exists does not mean that transitions away from a fossil-fuel based society inherently deliver a more just and sustainable society.Sustainable energy transitions have the potential for transformativeimpact, but only if we actively harness opportunities for justice. This talkwill focus on Dr.

Abstract:听As private university residences have emerged as a new frontier of investment by sophisticated financial actors, international students have also become scapegoats of Canada鈥檚 housing affordability crisis, and scholarship increasingly describes purportedly global processes of 鈥渟tudentification,鈥� remaking some neighbourhoods as isolated 鈥渂ubbles鈥� or enclaves of student life. Drawing on recent and ongoing research in Montreal and elsewhere, I argue that student housing presents a valuable portal through which to understand broader urban dynamics.

Abstract:听Queerburbia is a neologism coined as a counterargument to queer metronormativities. By bringing the queer and suburban into focus, it redirects attention to the less visible LGBTQ2S lives lived across the peripheries of metropolitan areas. Conceptually, it seeks to alter North American suburbia鈥檚 iconic reputation for heterocisnormative erasure and enrich the suburban studies 鈥渄iversity paradigm鈥� by integrating peripheral queer placemaking practices.

Abstract:听The tropics are experiencing dramatic changes as a result of climate change and land-use change. Shifts in carbon flux dynamics, water cycling, and species composition are resulting in feedbacks with globally important consequences. However, tropical forests are not a monolith. They vary enormously in terms of species diversity, climate, soils, human interactions, and much more. As a result, tropical forest ecosystems will almost certainly vary in their responses to global change. Yet, these differences remain highly uncertain and poorly understood.
