Cleaning-Up Freight Projects through Community Tools and the National Environmental Policy Act

Speakers: Kim Gaddy, Environmental Justice Organizer, New Jersey Environmental Federation and Clean Water Fund; Alexandra Bambas Nolen, PhD, MPH, Director, Center to Eliminate Health Disparities; Denny Larson, Executive Director, Global Community Monitor; Melissa Lin Perrella, Senior Attorney, Natural Resource Defense Council. Moderator: David Fukuzawa, Program Director, The Kresge Foundation

(2 hour session) Ports, rail yards and truck corridors are creating increased health, environmental, community and labor costs. Air pollution created by the freight transportation industry is associated with increased asthma in children, cancer, heart attacks, strokes and premature death. Currently, many freight projects go through a public process mandated by the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) before they can be approved. In this session, we describe ways communities can influence the NEPA process to ensure the environmental and public health impacts of freight projects are adequately disclosed. We also provide hands-on instruction on community-based participatory research tools including, health impact assessments (HIA), and community-led air quality monitoring and mapping, which can help communities build capacity to address air pollution.

Rural Sustainability: Design and Strategic Considerations

Speakers: Alexandria Murnan, Graduate Student, University North Carolina, Chapel Hill; Hannah Twaddell, President, Hannah Twaddell Associates, LLC. Moderator: Chris Beck, Senior Projects Advisor, U.S. Department of Agriculture

(2 hour session) Massive outmigration and major industry shifts have left many small towns across the country with challenging impacts of changes in population and local economies. Others are feeling the pressure of new development dynamics. Innovative local leaders are developing strategies creating economically dynamic places where people want to live. How will placemaking, smart growth, regional planning and innovative economic development contribute to revitalizing small towns? Based on current case study research conducted by the panelists, the details of the strategies as well as the designs that form the basis of rural smart growth will be presented and discussed. Examples of successful design and project management approaches are presented. The diversity in the types of rural communities makes “rural” strategies difficult to pin down. The panelists present portfolio-style examples of rural smart growth in a variety of settings, and will lead a discussion of key elements of rural sustainability.

Educators Symposium: Executive Function Disorders and Disorders of the Self: Exploring No Man’s Land

Speakers: Tillie C. Garfinkel, M.Ed (Silver Spring, MD); Joseph Palombo, MA (Chicago, IL); Stephen D. Kerzner, MD (Duxbury, MA); Tillie C. Garfinkel, M.Ed. (Silver Spring, MD); Stephen D. Kerzner, MD (Duxbury, MA)

This symposium is geared to APsaA Educator Associates, K-12 educators, psychoanalysts, and mental health professionals. Executive functioning disorders are brain based dysfunctions involving neuropsychological deficits, often producing deficits in the sense of self. A complex relationship exists between executive functions and ADHD. The integration of neuropsychological and psychodynamic factors requires a new paradigm incorporating neuropsychological, relational, and intra-psychic dimensions. This session explores implications of this new paradigm. Joseph Palombo is a clinical social worker, and founding Dean, Institute for Clinical Social Work, and faculty Rush Neurobehavioral Center and affiliated with Chicago Institute for Psychoanalysis. Stephen Kerzner, psychoanalyst and school consultant, provides a psychoanalytic perspective.
