2019 AEESP Research and Education Conference
(Tuesday-Thursday, May 14-16, 2019) Arizona State University is hosting the 2019 Association of
Environmental Engineering and Science Professors (AEESP) Research and Education Conference.
The conference theme is "Environmental Engineers & Scientists see Cities in 4-D" and emphasizes the
dimensions of the built environment, the natural environment, human health, and cyberspace.
Traditionally, the major focus of environmental engineering and science has been on the dimensions
and interactions of the natural environment and the built environment. The dimensions of the natural
environment and built environment will continue to be important; however, these more traditional
approaches will be balanced and integrated with new dimensions of increasing interest and
importance, specifically human health and cyberspace. This is illustrated by active research on the
interactions of the natural environment and the built environment on the human microbiome, building
microbiomes, and other "biomes," and rapid advances in electronics and computer science that allow
for distributed sensor networks for real-time contaminant monitoring, big data analytics, and the
potential for autonomous treatment systems. "Environmental Engineers & Scientists see Cities in 4-D"
also provides a coherent theme for integrating research and education. In addition to the research
topics that fall under the theme, environmental engineering and environmental science programs need
a venue to share advances in education research and curriculum development. The Call for Abstracts
is now open and abstracts are due December 5, 2018. Technical session tracks will be organized
based on the "Cities in 4-D" conference theme and environmental engineering and environmental
science education. The conference website has additional details including a link for abstract
submission. Please send inquiries to Conference Chair, Treavor Boyer, thboyer@asu.edu.

Forming the Future: An Interdisciplinary Conference
(Monday-Tuesday, September 2-3, 2019) Thinking about the future often focuses on its ‘content’: what
might happen. Similarly, thinking about ‘future studies’ often concentrates on its goals, concepts and
methods. But what about the forms in which the future comes couched? How does the medium in
which the future is presented – its genres, structures, conventions – shape or influence what the future
might include? What forms do representations of the future currently take in different disciplines and
fields of practice – from fiction to non-fiction, the visual to the textual, science to politics – and to what
effect? Can we make our representations of the future more efficacious, with a view to the current
world situation? And what might different fields learn from each other, or how might they combine, in
order to do this? The conference will be held at the University of Plymouth, Plymouth, UK. Call for
papers is open until May 1, 2019. More information. This conference sets out to investigate these and related questions, and to trigger dialogue within and
across different areas in which the future is being ‘formed’. Proposals are welcome from researchers
across the humanities, social sciences and STEM disciplines, as well as from those working outside
the university sector.

Blessing the rains in Arizona: Can we use stormwater as a resource?
This past October saw the fourth-heaviest single rainfall in Phoenix history, right on the heels of a
typically scorching summer. It topped up retention basins, was pumped off freeways, or simply flowed
into the Salt River bed. But is that stormwater a resource we’re letting run down the drain? That was
the question Wednesday at a panel discussion hosted by Arizona State University’s Decision Center
for a Desert City. Read more.

Study: Universities' revitalization efforts in neighborhoods, cities is beneficial but
nuanced
In the late 1990s, the University of Pennsylvania had a problem: The neighborhood surrounding the
university was unsafe. Parents didn’t want to send their kids there, and professors didn’t want to teach
there. Since UPenn officials couldn’t do anything to change their location, they decided to invest in it.
They spent millions revitalizing housing and commercial property along Walnut Street, the campus’
main thoroughfare, adding bookstores, hotels, coffee shops and more. And it paid off. The area
became safer, more active and more vibrant. Read more.

Nature, Art & Habitat Residency (NAHR): An ECO-Laboratory of Multidisciplinary
Practice Taleggio Valley, Bergamo - Northern Italy
The Nature, Art & Habitat Residency: An ECO-Laboratory of Multidisciplinary Practice, located in the
Taleggio Valley near Bergamo, Italy, is a summer program that aims to unfold and display a sensitive
culture that responds to nature's needs and uses nature's insights as a source of inspiration and as
measure of impacts on available resources. The ultimate goal of NAHR is to uncover intimate links
between all living organisms in order to support more resilient development where humans and nature
can successfully coexist. The 2019 topic is Grasses and Pastures:Imagining a Regenerative Economy
of Cheese and is now accepting applications. This year, NAHR looks at how multiple disciplines
coming together can start to address, design, implement and respond to cyclical and seasonal
economy. With the Taleggio Valley as case study, one is clearly aware of its largest assets: its
biodiversity; its people; and the way the blending of these assets over centuries has generated a rich
culture of cheese production - two of the most famous being Taleggio and Strachitunt. Applications are
due by February 5, 2019. More information and application.
