| Position Description: |
1-year term appointment starting December 2022/January 2023. Renewable annually for additional 2 years. Background The Climate-adaptive Design (CaD) studio program has been working with New York State communities to catalyze action on climate change since 2015. Adopting a paired social-ecological systems approach, the program works with both people and place in an academic studio setting to link emerging climate adaptation strategies with community-focused engagement methodologies that enhance municipal climate awareness, capacity, and trajectory setting. In collaboration with New York State Department of Conservation’s (DEC) Hudson River Estuary Program. The CaD program seeks a combination of teaching, research and community benefits when working with waterfront communities during graduate and undergraduate design studios. To date, work from the CaD studio has received national and state level recognition, and Climate-adaptive Design communities have received multiple grants to pursue development of climate adaptation projects inspired by the CaD studio. Yet many communities across New York State continue to face significant projected risks due to climate change including temperature and precipitation extremes, sea level rise, and other hazards. While CaD studio efforts have primarily been with municipal partners in the Hudson River Estuary to date, demand for this work is growing state-wide. Position Description In AY 2022-2023, the CaD program seeks to investigate the potential for expanding its focus into the New York Great Lakes region over the coming years. The Visiting Critic will work with the Climate-adaptive Design team at Cornell and DEC to build on adaptation advances in the Hudson River Estuary while scoping expansion of the Climate-adaptive Design program into New York Great Lakes communities. This work will be done through background investigation, research and networking, as well as development of an exploratory pilot design studio with support from the Principal Investigator. While not a fully community-engaged studio at this stage, the intent of the pilot studio is to better understand the complex dynamics between the biophysical and sociocultural settings unique to New York’s Great Lakes to prepare for possible future community-engaged studios and advance design research in these areas. The Visiting Critic will also be involved in ongoing teaching and research efforts within the Climate-adaptive Design program overall, including in the Hudson River Estuary.
