“Resilience to Natural Disasters: a Case Study of the Sichuan Earthquake”<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Presenter:<\/em> Professor Robert B Olshansky
Professor and Head of Urban and Regional Planning, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Facilitators: <\/em>Professors Amanda Schmidt and Steve Wojtal
Oberlin College, Geology Department<\/p>\n\n\n\n

November 8, 10am – 2:30pm
Location: AJLC102<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As a seismically active area that has been recovering from the massive 2008 Wenchuan Earthquake with diverse ethnic and economic communities, western Sichuan is an ideal natural laboratory for studying the resilience of communities to natural disasters. Participants will examine the role of local preparation and outside involvement in rebuilding to better understand how to increase resilience in areas before natural disasters in order to speed up recovery following the disaster.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Seminar Format<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The seminar will be discussion-based, facilitated by Amanda Schmidt and Steve Wojtal.  Topics include disaster recovery, seismic history of China, resilience, and pedagogical approaches to integrating resilience into teachings and various curriculum.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Grant Availability<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Seminar participants are eligible to apply for Curriculum Development grants for integrating Environmental studies and Asian Studies into their classes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
