Event
<p>I’m an <a href="https://sociology.sas.upenn.edu/people/daniel-cohen">Assistant Professor of Sociology</a> at the University of Pennsylvania. With Kate Aronoff, I’m the co-host of <strong><a href="https://www.dissentmagazine.org/hot-bothered">Hot & Bothered</a></strong>, a podcast on climate politics hosted by Dissent magazine. I work on the politics of climate change. More specifically, I investigate the intersections of climate change, inequalities of race and social class, and the political projects of both elites and social movements in urban spaces, with a focus on global cities of the North and South. I am increasingly interested in working collaboratively on quantitative techniques to address these research concerns through comprehensive carbon-footprint analysis, and coordinating that analysis with other approaches to socio-spatial segregation. In my urban research so far, my most consistent finding is that social inequality is a barrier to rapidly and deeply reducing greenhouse gas emissions. To be effective, climate policy needs to be equitable.</p>
Join us for the fourth in a series of teaching workshops tailored to graduate students in Sociology and related fields. Penn sociologist (and recent hire) Daniel Aldana Cohen will lead a workshop on how to prepare for your first course as a professor. These interactive workshops—led in partnership with the Center for Teaching and Learning—are designed to prepare graduate students for college-level teaching and mentorship. Open to all Penn graduate students. No RSVP required. For questions, email CTL Graduate Fellow Shantee Rosado at srosado@sas.upenn.edu. Attendance counts towards the CTL Teaching Certificate.
