This week we are excited to hear from Associate Professor of Geography at University of Colorado Boulder, Fernando Riosmena! Dr. Riosmena’s presentation will examine the relationship between climatic variability and internal vs. international migration in Mexico, specifically assessing these associations across socioeconomic contexts, gender, and ages.

You can register for the seminar HERE, and check out all the upcoming topics and register for future seminars on our website.

After the seminar, we will facilitate and graduate student discussion with Dr. Riosmena. Students will have the opportunity to discuss research collaborations, professional development, academic publishing, and interdisciplinary research, among other topics.

This seminar is co-sponsored with the Population Health Initiative.

CSDE Affiliate Karina Walters and a number of colleagues recently served as editors to a new book, Indigenous Health Equity and Wellness, published by Routeledge. Walters is credited not only for her contributions to the introduction but also one of the book chapters which is adapted from a 2020 article to which she contributed, titled, “‘Being on the walk put it somewhere in my body’: The meaning of place in health for Indigenous women.”

Erin Horn and CSDE Affiliate Gundula Proksch published a review article of methods of circular city implementation — strategies for urban sustainability that center regenerative, circular, and symbiotic systems — explored thus far in the literature. Their review is published in Frontiers in the Built Environment and is grounded in a holistic overview of related frameworks across interdisciplinary and scalar domains including circular city, the food-water-energy nexus, circular economy, bioeconomy, industrial symbiosis, regenerative design, and others.
