Final\u00a0Agenda –\u00a0INSS Annual Conference
\nApril 8-10, 2015
\nOnline<\/p>\n

Pre-conference information<\/em><\/a><\/p>\n

This year, in an effort to reduce travel impacts, we are experimenting with a novel hybrid conference model. Several \u201cnodes\u201d are available for participants to gather and engage with us:<\/p>\n

UNC Charlotte, Charlotte, NC<\/a>
\nArizona State University, Tempe, AZ<\/a>
\nOregon State Univ. Cascades, Bend, OR<\/a><\/p>\n

Michigan State University, East Lansing, MI<\/a>
\nUniversity College London, London, UK<\/a><\/p>\n

Some sessions will be for local attendees only, but many of the sessions, including the keynote session, will be shared during on-line connections times.<\/p>\n

All sites will be exploring the intersection of infrastructure and social sustainability<\/strong>. Through our keynote presentation and the infrastructure sub-themes each site has elected to emphasize, we will consider the ways in which we understand, study, and create linkages between infrastructure and social sustainability.<\/p>\n

Infrastructure Investment to Create Enduring and Human-Centered Wealth:\u00a0A Capital Asset Management Theoretic and Analytical Framework<\/em><\/p>\n

Viewing the development of towns, cities, nations and regions through the lens of a capital asset management theoretic framework can tell us different stories about the holistic management of capital to create human-centered wealth. This talk presents a capital asset management theoretic framework and analytical model for conceptualizing and evaluating sustainable development. Sustainable development is modeled as a function of an entity\u2019s capital stocks, and the rates of use of these stocks to generate human-centered capital, relative to their rates of regeneration. The framework is applied to selected nations to explore sustainable development risks and opportunities relative to dynamics in human, economic and environmental capital, and to envision infrastructure investment alternatives to create enduring and human-centered wealth.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

\nPlanning for Social Sustainability<\/strong>
\nUsing the premise that social sustainability is most useful as a process rather than a set of objective criteria, several INSS investigators will guide attendees through considering how groups can engage in making and sharing each other’s plans to better understand how different “sustainabilities” across different organizations and interest groups complement and contradict one another. We will have the opportunity to grapple with how to help previously disparate groups begin to internalize each other\u2019s priorities.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

6:45 pm<\/td>\nPanel Discussion<\/strong>
\nWe are partnering with the Keeping Watch on Water: City of Creeks initiative to offer a panel with members who reflect the different lenses through which Charlotteans view our local rivers. Just as in the ancient fable of five blind men who each discover a different part of an elephant and then proceed to describe five vastly different creatures, stakeholders in river conservation also often encounter each other with different values and language. Conservationists come from a variety of disciplines and derive their expertise from a wealth of sources including culture, history, technical training, spiritual education or direct experience. However, sometimes disconnects in values and language can make it challenging to align on objectives and proposed policies. Conservation efforts seem like an endless tug of war between landowners, industries, regulators, environmentalists, citizens and others who engage in the debate. This panel discussion will seek to discover contradictions and complementarities in the various visions of sustainability that are held by engineers, policymakers, river dwellers, and citizens.Panelists (6:45 pm estimated start):<\/p>\n
