Using Richmond, Virginia as a case study, participants examine how present-day heat exposure aligns with patterns of Jim Crow–era disinvestment and redlining, highlighting how historic policy decisions continue to shape environmental risk.

Through guided, hands-on mapping, participants visualize land surface temperature, tree canopy, and impervious surfaces, then layer historic redlining and demographic context to assess who is most affected by extreme heat and why. The workshop centers ethical GIS practice, prompting participants to critically reflect on mapping choices, data limitations, and the responsibilities of spatial analysis in public-facing work. No prior GIS experience is required, and all activities are conducted in ArcGIS Online.

Learning Outcomes:

By the end of this 2-hour workshop, participants will be able to:

Explain how Jim Crow-era policies and redlining shape present-day urban heat exposureUse GIS to identify spatial patterns of climate vulnerabilityApply an ethics lens to decisions about what gets mapped, emphasized, or omittedInterpret maps as products of power, history, and choice… not neutral artifacts

However, when incorporated into papers—especially after being resized to fit an A4 page—many plots become difficult to read. Axis labels, numbers, and text are often too small, making the figures unsuitable for publication. This short workshop will demonstrate simple but effective techniques to create publication-ready figures from the start. By thinking about publication requirements early, you can avoid common issues and produce figures that are clear, professional, and ready for papers.

Evidence, Power & Democracy: HBCU Research and Policy Advocacy
Wednesday, April 22, 2026

As part of Day One: Evidence, Power, and Institutional Agency: Reframing the Role of HBCUs in Democracy, Dr. Frederick will lead a featured session:

Fireside Chat: Leadership, Research, and Policy Advocacy in the HBCU Ecosystem

10:00 – 10:50 a.m.

This fireside dialogue will offer a critical and nuanced examination of the interplay between executive leadership, knowledge production, and policy engagement within the HBCU ecosystem. Grounded in an evidence-based framework, the session will illuminate how institutional leaders strategically mobilize research to advance equity, fortify institutional capacity, and shape national discourse in higher education policy.

The conversation will engage the following lines of inquiry:

The systematic integration of research evidence into policy advocacy and institutional decision-making processesThe expansion of HBCUs’ influence within national higher education policy arenasThe evolution of leadership praxis in response to shifting structural, political, and demographic landscapes

This session promises to contribute meaningfully to ongoing scholarly and practitioner conversations regarding the role of HBCUs as vital agents in advancing democratic ideals and educational equity.

We invite you to join this important convening of thought leadership and critical dialogue.

As climate-driven disasters intensify—from floods and droughts to heatwaves and hurricanes—existing social inequalities deepen, placing women and girls at heightened risk of violence.

Emerging evidence shows a troubling connection: for every 1°C rise in temperature, intimate partner violence increases by 4.7%. Displacement, resource scarcity, and the breakdown of protection systems during climate emergencies create conditions where gender-based violence (GBV) escalates while safeguards fail. Yet, despite growing recognition of climate change as a global threat, GBV prevention remains largely absent from disaster risk reduction and climate adaptation frameworks.

Join us for a half-day Research Month event that brings this overlooked nexus into focus.

Why Attend?

This event will explore how climate-related stressors—such as droughts, floods, heatwaves, and displacement—exacerbate GBV and widen gender disparities. Participants will engage with evidence, policy gaps, and practical strategies for integrating GBV prevention into climate and emergency response planning, strengthening community resilience and advancing human rights.

Key Objectives

Examine evidence linking climate change impacts to increased GBVHighlight system-level gaps in emergency and disaster responseExplore data connecting temperature increases to intimate partner violenceDiscuss how displacement weakens protection systems and heightens exposure to violenceFoster collaboration across academic, governmental, and community-based sectors addressing the climate–GBV intersection

Who Should Attend

Academics and researchers (climate science, public health, gender studies, social work)Policymakers at local, national, Caribbean, and global levelsNGOs focused on climate resilience, GBV prevention, and humanitarian responseStudents and traineesEmergency management and government representativesHealth and emergency response professionalsCommunity leaders, advocates, and survivor-centered organizations

📢 Be part of the conversation shaping safer, more resilient communities.

This Research Month event challenges us to rethink climate action—by placing gender equity and protection at the center.

I. Frederick as our featured guest speaker for the 2026 Virtual Conference:

Evidence, Power & Democracy: HBCU Research and Policy Advocacy
Wednesday, April 22, 2026

As part of Day One: Evidence, Power, and Institutional Agency: Reframing the Role of HBCUs in Democracy, Dr. Frederick will lead a featured session:

Fireside Chat: Leadership, Research, and Policy Advocacy in the HBCU Ecosystem

10:00 – 10:50 a.m.

This fireside dialogue will offer a critical and nuanced examination of the interplay between executive leadership, knowledge production, and policy engagement within the HBCU ecosystem. Grounded in an evidence-based framework, the session will illuminate how institutional leaders strategically mobilize research to advance equity, fortify institutional capacity, and shape national discourse in higher education policy.

The conversation will engage the following lines of inquiry:

The systematic integration of research evidence into policy advocacy and institutional decision-making processesThe expansion of HBCUs’ influence within national higher education policy arenasThe evolution of leadership praxis in response to shifting structural, political, and demographic landscapes

This session promises to contribute meaningfully to ongoing scholarly and practitioner conversations regarding the role of HBCUs as vital agents in advancing democratic ideals and educational equity.

We invite you to join this important convening of thought leadership and critical dialogue.

How Much Energy Can We Generate and Control? at Interdisciplinary Research BuildingJoin the research workshop “How Fast Can We Go? How Much Energy Can We Generate and Control?” facilitated by Mae Jemison, M.D., and Sonya Smith, Ph.D.

Achieving interstellar velocities within human-reasonable timeframes requires propulsion, energy generation, storage, and control capabilities that approach the limits of modern physics and extend beyond current engineering practices. While no known physical law strictly precludes relativistic travel, the technological, energetic, and systems-integration challenges are significant.

This April 2026 workshop at Howard University will convene a cross-disciplinary peer group to define a framework for a "100 Year Starship Crucible"—establishing criteria for interstellar propulsion and energy architectures that embed tactical autonomy as a core enabling capability.

The workshop will examine propulsion concepts spanning existing systems, 10–30-year developmental horizons, and theoretical propositions. In each domain, tactical autonomy will be treated as an architectural requirement.

Astronaut Mae Jemison and RITA UARC Executive Director Sonya Smith will lead a discussion with participants that include propulsion researchers (current, advanced, and exotic), experts in high-energy physics and materials, specialists in autonomy and AI/ML, communication and navigation engineers, and scholars from adjacent fields whose insights may reveal non-traditional solutions.

How Much Energy Can We Generate and Control? at Interdisciplinary Research BuildingJoin the research workshop “How Fast Can We Go? How Much Energy Can We Generate and Control?” facilitated by Mae Jemison, M.D., and Sonya Smith, Ph.D.

Achieving interstellar velocities within human-reasonable timeframes requires propulsion, energy generation, storage, and control capabilities that approach the limits of modern physics and extend beyond current engineering practices. While no known physical law strictly precludes relativistic travel, the technological, energetic, and systems-integration challenges are significant.

This April 2026 workshop at Howard University will convene a cross-disciplinary peer group to define a framework for a "100 Year Starship Crucible"—establishing criteria for interstellar propulsion and energy architectures that embed tactical autonomy as a core enabling capability.

The workshop will examine propulsion concepts spanning existing systems, 10–30-year developmental horizons, and theoretical propositions. In each domain, tactical autonomy will be treated as an architectural requirement.

Astronaut Mae Jemison and RITA UARC Executive Director Sonya Smith will lead a discussion with participants that include propulsion researchers (current, advanced, and exotic), experts in high-energy physics and materials, specialists in autonomy and AI/ML, communication and navigation engineers, and scholars from adjacent fields whose insights may reveal non-traditional solutions.

Blackburn University Center)Join the Annenberg Program at the Cathy Hughes School of Communications for a timely and thought‑provoking panel discussion examining how media representations of Black and Latino communities are evolving amid contemporary social and political change.

Focusing on news, entertainment, and digital media, this session explores how portrayals are constructed, challenged, and reimagined across platforms. Panelists will examine the forces shaping these narratives—from journalistic practices and institutional norms to creative decision‑making and audience engagement.

Central to the discussion is the relationship between media representation and principles of free expression, including key First Amendment considerations. Panelists will address how media organizations navigate the rights and responsibilities of speech, how public discourse influences visibility and framing, and how creators and audiences are driving new approaches to storytelling in an increasingly complex media landscape.

This event offers valuable insights for students, faculty, media professionals, and anyone interested in the intersections of communication, culture, and constitutional principles in today’s media environment.
